Take away some of that pressure and I think his passes are right on the money

16-23 176 yards and 1 TD are good stats for a second year undrafted QB, he'll only get better

We'll never see his potential; just like Chase Daniel; he'll be gone in a couple of years.

He's not waiting around that long for Brees to hand over the reigns. First starting opportunity he has and he's gone... He'll probably be ready to test free agency after this year

Just a few days ago Drew was going on about playing to 45.Then hes out hurt point is father time works against every player.Drew is 35 he has about if he stays healthy 3 to 4 years left yes now perhaps another 1 to 2 years as a backup if he plays for vet min amount of money.saints have Griffin for another 3 years the as an exc freeagent for one year an one more as a restricted free agent.He could take over from Drew say in 2017 season.

SP pet UDFA QB project just like Romo was in Dallas. I do not see SP at this point letting him walk any were with out a fight.

If Griffin keeps improving he will rival Brees in the next 2 years, say what you want but that is a good thing. As of right now he needs to secure the #2 spot, keep improving and wait.

I doubt Griffin will ever be able to beat out a healthy Brees, however if Griffin is the real deal and keeps improving, I can see the Saints getting out from under that contract Brees signed in a couple of years from now.

Better hope he lasts long enough. I'm looking for the Texans to try and trade with the Saints for him. Did you see Fitzpatrick last night? He was God awful. Did they draft a quarterback? If they didn't they sure should have.

The Texans drafted Tom Savage from Pitt in the 4th round. Unfortunately for the Texans, Savage hasn't done enough in the OTAs and training camp to win the position or even real consideration.
