Well it's up to the almighty Offense Guru now, he saw potential in Jameis and that was starting to work out.
Strangely enough when the word came that the Saints signed Jameis it was like news from Fungo Land.
But time goes by like it always does and I was totally on board with #2 behind center.
When Jameis got injured going out on the cart I was totally devastated. When they say Not For Long they aren't kidding.

Joe Montana isn't even in the top ten in Notre Dame career, season, or single game records for touchdowns or yardage. Even after Ian Book, Brady Quinn still holds basically every passing record.

Joe Montana's Notre Dame Stats

Just pointing this out.

Montana had 4121 yards passing in his ND career. Quinn almost had that much in one season (3919) and had 11,762 yards in his career.

Different era... different type of football. Still, there is a reason SP spent a draft pick on the guy.

I agree. He has potential. But he is not ready to be placed into a post-season run in any capacity. Former Notre Dame HC Charlie Weis said this very thing on Monday when a caller brought up Ian Book. He said he really likes Book, but he has a long way to go to be relied upon as an NFL QB.

One plus for Rivers is that he could almost commute from his home in Fairhope, Alabama.

Rivers ain't coming here.

We're going to really see just how good our QB room is. In a way, it's God's way to settle the QB battle for next year. Lots of questions will be answered, including Jameis' future here as a Saint. The only QB under contract for next year is Ian Book. He'll continue to be developed. SP brought Tony Romo in and made him what he became. There's no way right now the Saints extend a mega multiyear deal for Winston. All options are on the table, more so than this past offseason. My guess is that there will be a one year incentive laden deal yet again for Winston. Or we'll make a trade for the two QB names that were bandied about during preseason... if our QB room doesn't pan out as well as we'd like.
