SaintNik

There are four players who onced donned the black and gold that have a chance to start for their current teams. Jake Delhomme of the Carolina Panthers, Jeff Blake of the Arizona Cardinals, Kerry Collins of the New York Giants, and Marc Bulger of the St. Louis Rams. Also the Pittsburgh Steelers today signed former Saint backup Phil Stambaugh. With Aaron Brooks at the helm with the Saints I don't think anybody would suggest getting one of the former players back to be our starter, that chance given, as AB has talent that far exceeds any of them. However, what this does indicate is that the Saints over the past few years have had some talent at the QB position on the roster. It has been many years since a QB left the Saints to become a starter elsewhere. Bobby Hebert, Archie Manning, and Billy Kilmer (did Steve Walsh ever actually start elsewhere? ) may complete the list. There have been several seasons that the Saints have went through an entire season without a legitimate starter among the group on the roster. Hopefully this indicates that this organizations talent evaluation at this position has improved to a point that we will open the season with good depth at this, the most critical position on the field.
