It sorta sounds that way. At the time Drew was a gamble for either team. Maybe Saban didn't want to blow smoke up his butt and act like he was in love with him. It was obviously very personal for Drew.

They way you two are making him sound like he needed to be wooed, that he needed comfort, that he needed the attention, it makes Drew look soft.


Some could say he needed to be wooed..he did not get recruited out of texas bec of a torn that he was rehabbing during his JR year. So that could have some merit.

I guess that I chose to look at the situation as drew wanted to "go to war" with someone that he felt had his back"

and

At the chargers he struggled with a split front office and coaching staff..He didnt want to go into a situation where he had to deal with that again from the get go..

They are not helping Drew either, I haven't read his book because 99% of athletes books are biased in some regard. However I can find countless articles that offer different opinions than the ones listed.

They are making Drew sound just like a jilted lover, that Saban did not believe in him, they did not give him the attention he wanted, that Drew needed to call Saban later just to confirm if Saban even wanted him.

Neither the Dolphins or the Saints had a split front office when they were recruiting Drew.

The way yourself and Casey are making it look is that he needed to be wooed.

So because of this he needed to be recruited as a professional athlete?

So Drew expected to be treated like a 5* recruit? Miami treated it like a business and New Orleans treated him like a savior. All quotes I linked did not state any of that and every story has two sides.

okay, we get it Drew is lying and Nick is a warm person.

to you maybe. To most others, wanting to play for a team and coach that wants and believes in him. And sure he wanted to prove Saban wrong.

FWIW, tduecen is coming off as a guy who will try to defend all things Nick Saban to get the attention he craves from this board.

Damnit man, they spelled it out for you and you keep acting like Nicks PR rep.

they did spell it out, drew ws acting like he needed attention and saban wouldn't give it to him. he needed comfort knowing saban believed in him and it hurt his feelings knowing saban believed in the medical doctors more. you guys really are making drew seem like a baby here, someone that needs comfort, attention, and encouragement from those around him.

As opposed to those who defend all things Drew Breees, I mean Drew would never misremember or exaggerate a situation I guess huh?

Can we get a quote to where I said he was lying and Saban is a warm person?
