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.

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.
