Deshawn Watson.... should we?

If we are looking to acquire a Brees substitute in free agency and continue rotating in Taysom as an extra QB weapon like we did this year with Brees, I have a much cheaper and realistic option than Stafford - Fitzmagic.

Fitzmagic has the pro experience and enough left in his arm. His mileage/hits taken isn't as high because he's been a backup for various parts of his career. He's also never played for an offense or a coach this adept; in fact he's been with a lot of sorry teams.

Could possibly be a Rich Gannon/Raiders type situation where he gives us a peak year or two as a veteran. If we are looking for this kind of a player to fill the Brees void, could do a lot worse.

The thing with Fitzpatrick is when he’s hot, he’s hotter than the sun but when he’s cold it’s really bad. There’s no happy medium with him
