Sat, 8 Apr 2006 15:34:27 -0700

NewOrleansSaints.com reports New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was asked at the team's minicamp Saturday, April 8, about his backup quarterback situation and he replied, "Well, that's a good question. I think that the purpose for this camp is to get a chance to give these two guys a lot of reps...you know, I said this in the beginning: all of these guys we're evaluating and clearly we're evaluating Todd (Bouman) and Adrian (McPherson) so they're getting a lot of reps. We're halfway into this camp, we've got a practice this afternoon, another one tomorrow, and there are guys we've got to hone in on and make decisions in regards to where we think they are, and that's important."


he's working on it man, he's working on it............................smitty

i don't even get your point so make it clear

Re: RE: payton talks about backup qb
 

Uh i think he's talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick, not Jamie Martin. And he went to Harvard, so yeah I guess that's a really "smart" school.

Well, maybe Adrian will step up.....you never know.

Hey, if Adrian steps up and takes over the #2 spot, how would you guys feel about Bouman being #3?

RE: Re: RE: payton talks about backup qb
 

If we get a new center and plat him at the guard position

AMac definitely will need another year of development before being considered a #2. I will be disappointed if Bouman is still there by the start of the season. I do not think he will though. You wouldn't hear other names mentioned already if they were sold on him. Payton being a QB coach extraordinaire I will trust his judgement on whatever veteran is brought in. From the poll we had last week it seemed Fiedler, Maddox, and Other were the favorites here.

I would definitely rather have Martin than Bouman. I'd also rather have Fiedler, Maddox, the pizza guy...

I would take Fielder over bouman as a #3...I was wondering the other day why A-mac wasn't sent to Europe to get some reps but then I remembered that bouman would have been the only "throwing" qb at the minicamp...and lets face to evaluate a WR you want the ball in the neibhborhood..

Hey I know a really athletic pizza guy. He was avoided the rush of two hungry Rottweilers to get my pizza to the front door. :D

I'm glad the team didn't send AMAC to Europe, he needs to be here learning the system. And getting to know the QB he will be backup this year, because Todd B is out of here.

I don't know....I think A-Mac really could have used the reps in Europe. It dosen't matter anyway, Coach P knows what he is doing.....he'd send him if he though he needed to go.
