Saints cuts

What about the QB situation? Why cut Palko? Now our only other option is Martin ( God he is awful)

I'm sure Palko will get picked up on the PS if he clears waivers. Our only other realistic option if Brees goes down was Martin all along. You don't think Palko would actually have played do you?

i'll bet all is not cemented by a long shot......
we should be looking for help on the cuts taking place
and may even be looking to trade a few.....
you gotta love the straight forwardness of payton
and crew to cut loses and move on.
i am surprised that mechem is still here.
any others?

actually yes. Rookie yea sure. His passes are far more crisp than Martin's any day of the week. Fife and Palko should be on this roster and Martin gone. Maybe Martin gives better BJ's.

In the long run you give him more practice and reps his upside is way larger than an aging no body.

I like Thunder and Lightning
But to keep 4 TEs is frightning
I'm gonna knock, knock on wood
and I hope we go all the way baby.........

Sorry, lost it. It is getting close

Fife & Palko? That would be insane. You'd have no #2 QB. You'd have a starter and two #3 QBs.

You don't need upside in a #2 QB. You need somebody that knows what to do. Face it, if we lose Drew for very long, it's going to be a tough season. Neither Palko nor Martin are going to step in and do what #9 does. You want somebody to hold things together until Brees can get back on the field. That guy isn't Tyler Palko. Not this year. Next year, maybe.

Also I disagree with the premise that Martin is horrible. Again, he's not Brees but who is? He did pretty well in preseason for a backup.
