Drew Brees took 6 years before he really took off, but how many QBs get 6 years to develop?


Drafting a spread offense QB is pretty much stupid unless you plan to sit him for a couple years to learn or your offense is going to be similar. Pro-style offense QBs have 3-4 years experience already on spread offense QB, which is exactly why KC looks more comfortable in our offense because he's had 4 years of college learning to read defenses and such.

Drew Brees looked good in San Diego by year 4. Even before that he three for 3000 yards in his second year which in the early 2000's was actually respectable.

He was good in San Diego. He wasn't great until year 6 though, like you said, in NO. But most elite QB's need elite organizations to truly shine, and he didn't have that until New Orleans.
