What You Don't Know About Drew Brees Quarterback Controversy With Philip Rivers 

35K subs??? I’m glad I’m here to watch this growth! Just discovered your channel and have binged Your content since! Great stuff

I applaud Marty for having Drew Brees back like that

Nobody talks about how the chargers drafted 2 hall of famers in back to back picks in the same draft.

Thanks Chargers and Dolphins! What's funny is that Drew is undefeated against both the Chargers and Dolphins since he's became a Saint.

I think it’s pretty ironic that Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers both retired in the same year

RIP Marty.......dude doesn't get enough respect for what he accomplished as a HC in the NFL

Love those old Charger uniforms. Wish they were still back in San Diego

San Diego always has talent. They just don't seem to know what to do with it.

I think this proves the NFL doesn't give young QBs enough time to develop

The craziest thing is that the chargers had Brees, Flutie and Rivers at the same time

The ripple affect from this was amazing, If Dolphins sign Brees instead of Dante Culpepper now Nick Saban doesn’t leave Miami and Alabama and Patriots are viewed very differently

I had no idea he had passed . Awesome tribute to Ol MartyBall !!!

Marty Schottenhimer: 200 wins, 7th all time AJ Smith: Pompous Ass

im born 1996 and I remember drew on the chargers with LT during the early and mid 2000s lol.

Tomlinson and Brees in the same draft deserves at least some love. 👍🏻

Drafting LT and Brees in the first round has to be one of the best drafts ever.

I felt bad for drew brees because I felt like him and Lt and Antonio gates Could have won a super bowl together

2003, when 4-12 could be the worst team in the league.

Marty was a football guy who understood his players. Guy turned around Cleveland, Kansas city and San Diego. He may never have won a super bowl but the guy never feared going to the most dreadful teams and succeeded in terms of winning.

Drew came to a broken city with a historically horrible organization as far as performance. Recruiters tried to show him all the nice pretty repaired parts, when he saw one of the more damaged areas of the city he knew he wanted to be there. He means so much to the city of New Orleans and to the entire state.

Rip Coach Schottenheimer, great coach and an even better man. I’m thankful I got to watch his teams. 🙏🏾💯

This is completely off the subject but my goodness time goes by so fast!

Wow, that photo of Brees next to Flutie... I've never seen Brees stand next to a smaller QB. He actually looked tall for once.

Marty Ball BABY! “Gentlemen. There’s a GLEAM!”

The Chargers have been and will always be dysfunctional. It’s sad to see my favorite team dismantling every single season. Fired a great coach to hire norv turner.

Man, this feels like forever ago, this was when I first started watching football, it seems like it was destiny for Brees to get hurt so he and Rivers could go on their own paths of success, also I didn't realize Marty Schottenheimer died, RIP

Everything happened the way it was supposed to. It worked out really well for the Saints. We got the best QB in franchise history, a Super Bowl championships, some of the most successful years for the Saints, and so much history made and so many records broken in the Superdome. As someone who was never into sports, the Saints made football fun to watch and see what else they would do. I hate to see Drew retiring, but we knew it was coming and it's time for him to move on to the next stage.

R.I.P Marty Schottenheimer this is football this is why we out here Legend

Cursing at you players worse than Marty Shottenheimer... RIP

Freaking Brees came back against all odds! Respect!

REST IN PEACE MARTY. YOU were a GREAT coach.

They drafted a HOF running back and quarter back in the same draft

People always bag on Rivers for not winning a ring with LT, Gates, Vincent Jackson etc. Brees couldnt get it done either. This office and ownership are bafoons, take note of how their move to LA went haha

It’s honestly hard to imagine drew being on any other team besides the saints. New Orleans is where he was meant to be.

I had no idea Marty Schottenheimer died! One day before my 50th birthday. He was the best coach in the NFL that never won a Super Bowl. I was a Chiefs fan in the early '90s when Joe Montana played for them.

Bro that 2006 divisional round game against the Patriots was honestly one of the greatest NFL games I've ever seen. Back and forth, super-high drama, crazy things went on that day.

Ironically, that shoulder injury was the best thing to ever happen to Drew.

As a Saints fan I was beyond thrilled getting Drew Brees! And it clearly worked out...thanks to the Dolphins team doctor 😂

Marty was one of the best NFL coaches in the world.... i loved his style of football 🏈

One of my favorite head coaches as well. Wish he coached the Raiders instead of two teams I absolutely hated.

The Chargers drafted Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers and now Justin Herbert. They are blessed to have such talents at the QB positions

Always loved Marty- R.I.P.

Great recap. People forget the circumstances surrounding Brees’ departure from SD, it was complicated. We as the Chargers fanship loved Brees while he was with us and he was a class act dealing with the situation w/Phil. As a Chargers football fan, I celebrated his career the whole way through. ⚡️

Great video, cracked me up seeing Brees and Flutie side by side Drew actually looks tall next to him lol

I know I'm getting old. Drew Breeze was the first player that I followed from college to retirement.

Crazy how this was a video recommendation when Brees just announced his retirement

Appreciate that speech for Marty at the end. Didn't know he died. One of the greatest coaches without a ring. 😥😥😥

Awesome video, the tribute at the end gave me chills, great stuff, great memories brought up with this video. Thank you!

Youd think history would have taught us not to judge these young 1st & 2nd season QBs too soon.....but nope

Coach Marty was a legend. One of the faces I always remember when thinking of the NFL when I was growing up.

The Dolphins whiffed on this one I remember when they chose Culppeper over Breese. I personally thought I was a terrible signing and hey look I was right.

This is one of the main reasons I think players aren’t bust. It’s all about situation. Drew looked like bust until Sean got his hands on him.

Brady and Brees two of the best ever had such humble beginnings.

They drafted two hall of famers in one draft damn

Firing Marty Schottenheimer was the worst mistake this franchise ever made.

As a chargers fan this is really heart breaking

Thxs for your hard work making this video

Great video! Thanks

I'm a lifelong charger fan and I remember the draft when we drafted Drew Brees and LT back-to-back. We had the number one draft pick that year and we were going to use it on Michael Vick but we traded the pick away to Atlanta for their first round pick and Tim Dwight and a few others and ended up with Brees and LT instead of Michael Vick

As a Saint's and BIG Drew Bees fan..I hate to say this but only because we aquired the greatest QB in history in my opinion. I'm glad for your injury but better yet your recovery Drew. Sorry for your pain but if it wasn't for your injury, we probably wouldn't have won the SB. I had been a Saints fan from the beginning....Billy Kilmer, John Gilliam, Steve Stonebreaker, Jim Taylor, Dave Wetzel, Danny Abromowitz, Charlie Derkie who was kicker before Demsey...I can go on and on about my devotion to this very loosing team that I stood by with enthusiamsm for all of these years. Then 20 years later, we weren't the "aints" anymore. We finally got into the playoffs but did nothing after. Then we got to the playoffs with a one game win...THEN FINALLY, a little more than another 20 years...AHHH! SB CHAMPS! Sorry Drew if I seem insensitive to your injury but I think without it/you, the Saints would still be in the SB hunt. Thus we could expect more that we would win instead of loose with Drew and Sean. KUDOS TO SEAN PAYTON AS WELL!!!! A great coach. And so deserving because he can take a team and build it into a playoff caliber team in a season. ie, made it in first season as head coach.

Chargers fan here, you made a great video. Keep it up and thank you!

This is dope to see I'm from SD. Nice Jeru sample.

Been a Charger fan all my life and have lived through the dysfunctions across the decades. Maybe we have a future with Justin but until ownership stops making mistakes I'm not holding my breath.

Fantastic work! Keep it up

This was well made. Great job!!! You gained a fan.

Great tribute at the end, RIP Marty! "The gleam men, get the gleam!"

I didn't realize how many years Brees played for the Chargers. I always thought it was 2or 3.

Great job! Thank you very much! My wife went to HS with Marty! RIP big guy!

Great video. I was a Marine living in San Diego when this happened. The Brees injury during a meaningless game rocked the city. Really well done video.

Love the tribute at the end

Who knew the chargers front office sucked

Im pissed madden dont have those uniforms anymore. Its classic and i liked it better. Same for the 1998 49ers uniform all gold

As a Steeler fan cannot tell you how much respect I have for Coach Schottenheimer--He was an A+ coach who really should have won a couple Super Bowls....Damn shame he passed away for he was also a great story teller. Damn shame

AJ Smith had an ego that lead him to believe that there wasn't any football knowledge Marty F'n Shottenheimer could offer him!?!? The guy was in the trenches his whole life, made the BROWNS a winner, but AJ Smith had no use for him? Say what you want about what the Mannings did, but Eli got to chips and didn't have to deal with that turd.

Marty was one of the best coaches the Chargers organization has ever had. Loved watching his teams play growing up.

Your the first person that I know that has told this story with a happy ending. There is a couple of things that where left out like, Rivers acting like T.O in the the locker room and toward the the media. Jumping from team to team, never finding success and letting a true quarterback leave. Other than that your documentary was pretty good. A thumbs up from me and I also subscribe. Ty!

R.I.P. MARTY. He was a great coach.

Y’all speaking on rivers like he was mark Sanchez

I remember going to a talk with Purdue football coach Joe Tiller a few weeks before the 2004 draft. Someone asked about Drew, and Coach Tiller said he had spoken to Drew recently, and said in his opinion, the best thing that could happen for Drew would be for the Chargers to pick Eli Manning, and for Drew Brees to get the hell away from that team.

One of THE best sports videos I've ever watched! Top 5 in overall in presentation! Bravo!

Really nice breakdown BTW, that’s exactly how I remember it all.

Whether for or against him, we’re all privileged to have witnessed such an incredible journey. That very journey will forever be enshrined in Canton.

I couldn't imagine drew Brees never going to the saints and becoming a legend, coming from a Steelers fan I always had mad respect for brees

Good stuff, nice vid

As a Chargers fan! I’m proud that both Brees & Rivers played for my team. In the 2006, when Rivers 1st year as a starter. Some or a lot of Chargers fans that year believe that Rivers is much better then Brees. Then when u looked at both of their entired career. Brees stats ended better then Rivers. I like them both the same.

Marty was a great coach. I'm a Chiefs fan from a boy that seen them win in 1969 SB. He came to KC and made us a winning team but just couldn't get us to the big dance. He was good for football and for me as a fan.

Great vid

Great deep dive on this! It’s crazy how one hit can change an NFL career and a teams trajectory. Bledsoe takes that hit and Brady takes over and the Pats Dynasty begins. Brees takes this hit, which send him to the Saints and they win a Super Bowl. Wild.

Thank you for the Marty Schottenheimer tribute 🙏 I'm a Denver fan, but I have so much respect for Marty as a person and coach

Brees injury was terrible and looked like he wasn’t going to return. They didn’t wait to see how he was going to rehab. I know the chargers still had a very solid rivers but imagine brees and taking off but Sean Payton let him loose as well.

Chargers fucked up. Not so much on Drew Brees but firing Marty was the dumbest decision and they paid for it with 15 years of mediocre teams with a high level QB. (not great, possibly because he wasn’t surrounded by greatness)

Baffles me til this day that as a Chargers fan, I could’ve been alive to enjoy a Lombardi or two with Brees as our qb. I don’t have anything against PR as a person but I never liked his game as qb for the Chargers. I hope I’m able to witness a championship for my Bolts with Herbert as qb sometime before I depart earth lol 🤙🏾 ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Really enjoyed the tribute to Marty at the end. He may not of been this or been that, but the man was all heart. He lived with his heart on his sleeve. Being a KC rez during those years and after he has always been held highly in the community because of the person he was. Rest in peace MS. Nice job on the vid and keep at it!

It's not often a team drafts 2 hall of famers in the same round of the draft. So incredible

Outside of the '04 season, he looked pretty average and even in that one bright spot season, they couldn't even snag a playoff win against the worst AFC team. Guess he just needed a change of scenery and a weaker conference. Wasn't really like the Chargers made a bad decision letting him go. Rivers had an overall better SD career than Brees did. That being said, Brees had a better overall career than Rivers did, but that may never have happened if he stayed with the Chargers.

Great video! RIP Marty!!

Good piece you really told the entire story.

Coach Marty was one of the finest offensive minded coaches in the NFL. It was exciting to see Coach Marty faced up with great defensive minded coaches, it was like a chess match or the game, Go. ..it was like the last man standing. RIP coach, thank you for your hard work and sacrifice. May God bless you and your family.

You know what’s funny? Saints and Brees fans will violently disagree every time someone says that Drew Brees was a mediocre quarterback with the chargers. Many of them said that the chargers lost out and were out of their minds for keeping Philip Rivers, but they fail to see that Philip Rivers actually made a huge impact on that team. It’s just really sad that bad luck and mismanagement from the organization wasted his career.

Marty was a great man. Didn’t know he passed. Bless you sir. You will not be forgotten.
