No Brees(zing) in his career

What sets Drew Brees, the record shattering QB of the Saints, apart, from say JaMarcus Russell, the bumbling, fumbling QB of the Raiders:

1. Sean Payton the coach of the Saints in 2006 saw in Brees what many scouts couldn't, that is someone with the ferocity, drive and work ethic of two men.
2. Tom Cable the coach of the Raiders continues to view Russell as a lazy no show in camp, in practice and in games.
3. Carl Nicks, a teammate of Brees, describes Brees drive for perfection as contagious.  If he told me to jump off a cliff in order to win a game, I'd do it, says Nicks.
4. An unnamed teammate of Russell, was more than happy to rat him out as going to Las Vegas instead of attending the final team meeting of 2009.
5. Bree's Motto:  "Finish Strong."  Every Practice. Every rep. Give everything you have, until the very end.
6. Russell's Motto:  None to speak of.
7. Bree's on what it takes to win when the going gets tough:  Sometimes we get so caught up in the prize that we forget the process.  So let's forget about the prize for now and refocus on the process.
8. Russell on why the Raiders can't win:  "Up and down, Up and down" as in the team's performance, but not his.
9. Sportswriters crediting Brees as a passer with flashbulb-fast decision-making skills with laser like downfield accuracy, rare abilities that can be developed solely through mind-numbing levels of repetition and study.
10. Sportswriters poking fun of Russell as consistently overthrowing his target by 40 yards achievable only by not doing much of anything before, during and after games.
