SmashMouth · 08-28-2017, 04:43 PM

Since our backups suck, even Chase, should we not consider alternatives?

Keep what we have. Probably not much better out there right now than what we have.
Besides, if we lose Brees we're probably 7-9 again or worse.

I say wait and see what the draft has in store and/or free agency...

Drew has a few years left yet...

True, we aren't going to find his replacement by poaching some backup from another team.

This is not for his replacement, but a better backup than what we already have. Should we not always be looking? We did try Nassib this preseason. How's he working out so far?

Nassib was auditioning for the 3rd QB spot; no one you bring in is unsitting Chase for the #2...

He knows the system too well...

I am sure when cuts begin we will kick a few tires... we always do that and see if any stick on the practice squad.
