Wow. That puts it all in perspective.

D- IIRC it was Robert Neu who was the Saints QB coach that told CJ about him. I think it was tps that said that when he was being recruited.

In the interest of being factual, and reaching our goal, the correct answer is Mike Neu.

Not the story I heard. I heard it was his neighbor, head coach Sean Payton that told CJ about Tanner,.

When Curtis Johnson was speaking to a number of fans here in Slidell, he said that Sean Payton had told him about Tanner Lee. I can’t swear that’s what actually happened, but it is a fact that’s what Curtis Johnson told us.

The story I was told, when Tanner was a Junior in HS, was that Payton saw him throwing the ball in his yard, and thought he was a natural talent. After that we offered, and I saw him play a couple of HS games after that. Neu was the one that nicknamed him Tom Brady. Great practice QB, too bad it never turned out consistently on game days.

I don't disagree. My point is that it was Sean Payton that recommended Tanner to CJ,

Great discussion guys. I think we need to further flush out this Neu, Payton, CJ and Tanner story. 100 or Bust.

I personally wouldn’t mind someone writing an in depth break down of the differences between Tom Brady (or Drew Brees) and Tanner Lee.

Another possible thesis topic would be an analytical break down of Race and Draft order for Qb’s and The implications on Tanner.

Short story. Brees and Brady were amazing. Neither were considered to be future Hall of Fame quarterbacks, both will be first ballot inductees. Tanner had a pedestrian (being kind) college career and NO NFL career. His completion percentage at both levels was mediocre, if you include those that were completed to the opposition.

The march to 100 continues! Frankly, I wouldn't mind if it died here.

Stagger Lee lit a cigarette and she shot him in the balls!

Great song!

Not so great QB!

In addition to the Brees injury, aren’t the Steelers looking for another back up QB for the rest of the season. Foles our in Jacksonville, Darnold and Siemian out in New York. Many opportunities may develop for Tanner as the QB injuries mount. The quest for 100 is very much alive.

I understand Tanner tied out for a JPRD Men's Flag football team...but as a center

But he failed the tryout because he snapped the ball to the other team, which took it immediately to the end zone.
