"We thought Drew Brees was an outstanding player, and that's who we made the first offer to," Saban said, via the South Florida Sun Sentinel. "Quite frankly, you know, he didn't pass the physical with our organization, so we had to go in another direction and there was nothing any of us could do about that."
Exactly what I posted. He didn't trust Dr. Andrews when he said that Drew's shoulder was going to heal stronger than before the surgery. At that point in the off season and free agency, Drew couldn't throw a football further than 20 yards. That's a fact. Drew couldn't pass a high school physical at that point.
But...... Dr. Andrews said that within a few months, Drew's shoulder would be stronger than ever. Payton trusted Dr. Andrews and offered 5 years at $10 million a year. Nick and the Dolphins wouldn't offer even though the Dolphins was Drew's first choice.
Nick signed Culpepper and Sean signed Brees. The rest is history.

Saban didn't have the authority to override the team doctor's physical. Do you even understand how all that works, or is it a "my narrative or it's wrong" kind of mentality?
