Not really. I do remember him breaking Dan Marino's records and winning a Super Bowl. -- nm - David Jan 1, 12:57 8
- Aka, the recency effect. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 12:59 7
  - Are you seriously arguing that this was not a stupid decision? -- nm - David Jan 1, 13:01 6
    - No, I'm arguing the entire sequence is one of understandable aspects. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 13:05
    - No, he's saying that hindsight is 20/20 and has a laser rocket arm -- nm - Beryllium Jan 1, 13:02 4
      - It's not hindsight if everyone says it's stupid at the time. -- nm - David Jan 1, 13:04 3
        
        There were a lot of people who didn't think it was stupid, given Brees was hurt at the time. - Will Hunting Jan 1, 13:06 2
        
        No, there weren't. And time has proven the ones who said that to be fools. -- nm - David Jan 1, 13:07 1
        
        Yes, time has proven that San Diego made a really dumb choice - amoxy Jan 1, 13:36
