That was the start of his accessension. He also had a pretty solid year in 2005 but had that rotator cuff injury in the final game of the season.

Chargers decided they needed to cash in on the Rivers pick and figured the torn rotator cuff of Brees was the perfect excuse to move into the Phillip Rivers/Charlie Whitehurst era.

That offseason the Saints and Dolphins were the only two teams that were serious about pursuing him coming off the injury. If I remember correctly Brees was serious about being paid

Dolphins got scared off during their evaluation of Brees by team doctors and basically ended up saying 'screw this, we can just give the Vikings a second round pick and get Daunte Culpepper.' (....aho... aho... Ahouka!!!!)

Saints QB Drew Brees: Dolphins passed on me in 2006 because they didn’t think I could play again

And that kids is why Nick Saban (AHO!!) is considered a hero among Patriot, Jet, and Bill fans.

When a silly or idiotic character says something stupid or foolish, one or more crows may be seen flying past, crying "aho! aho!" or "ba-ka, ba-ka". Aho is Japanese for "idiot". It's also the kansai-ben equivalent to the all-purpose insult baka (one functional translation of aho is "idiot");
