Mark Brunell
 

In addition to the Packers, free agent Mark Brunell is reportedly drawing interest from the Saints and Falcons.

New Orleans may consider Brunell a fallback if Trent Green signs with the Rams, which seems likely. He could back up Chris Redman or a rookie in Atlanta.

Don't do it...

Re: Mark Brunell
 

we need some backup with experience. Right now, we have Palko, and that's it.

Re: Mark Brunell
 

All I'm saying is that if Trent Green and Mark Brunell are our only options as backups...i'd say don't bother with either...without Brees...we will surely lose the game...Palko can run things just as well as those two scrubs...everyone knows that we will just run the ball and try to dump off to Reggie...any backup can do that (big name or not)...bottom line...if Brees gets hurt (knock on wood) we are f&$#ed!

I'm just glad I don't have to watch Jamie Martin touch the football ever again for the Saints!

gotta do something soon

Re: Mark Brunell
 

is Testaverde under contract with anyone?

Re: Mark Brunell
 

I agree with that assessment. However, I think we need to consider a younger guy.

Actually I think Harrington would be the right guy. Give him an opportunity to learn in a good system under and outstanding QB and offensive HC and I think he'll flourish. He's done fairly well on some pretty bad offenses the last few years (Faclons, Dolphins). Has the experience, is younger than either Green or Brunell, and has shown that he can actually still play.

I do not think Palko is ready to assume the 2nd string roll, I am fine with Brunell or Green. All things being equal, I would probably lean towards Brunell. There really aren't very many decent backup QB's on the market right now, could do much worse than either of these guys.

Re: Mark Brunell
 

Brett Favre would be a great backup too!

Re: Mark Brunell
 

Brunell is the better than Martin.

Re: Mark Brunell
 

I totally disagree. IMO, Mark Brunell on his worst day is better than Joey Harrington on his best day. JH has been in the league for 6 yrs. and has 79 career TD's and 85 INT's. Brunell has been in the league 15 yrs (only played 13 yrs) and has 182 TD's and 106 INT's.

Harrington has only experienced 1 season with more TD's than INT's. Conversely, Brunnel has only had 1 season with more INT's than TD's.

Let's not forget that Harrington QUIT on his team when in Detroit. I don't care how bad the Lions were, I don't want anything to do with a quitter.

Brunell meets today
 

Free agent QB Mark Brunell is scheduled for a visit with the Saints today

Re: Brunell meets today
 

Cool, anyone is better than Jamie M.

Re: Mark Brunell
 

I'd like to see that happen

Re: Mark Brunell
 

Hell, since we are looking for nothing but old vet back-ups, lets see if Steve Young will come back to the league :)

Re: Mark Brunell
 

I was thinking Babe Laufenberg
