I like it. I also see that Trent Dilfer was released today - was due a half a mil signing bonus, cut him before they had to pay. I'm happy though. I feel more comfortable with either of these guys over Martin.

I don't think it matters who our backup is...if Brees gets hurt we are in trouble (knock on wood).

I like the pick and think that Brunell can run our offense for a game or two if Brees goes down.

can't we find someone younger? Testaverde, George, Bledsoe, Jurgensen?

I like the signing. He'll make a good backup and someone who can help develop Palko into at least formidable backup.

Man, this guy was great in his day; but he couldn't make some of the throws the last time I watch his with the Redskins

cgctobe · 03-13-2008, 08:54 PM

well he is a lefty if i remember correctly,so the blind side changes....hmmmmm?

QBREES9 · 03-13-2008, 09:07 PM

I can live with it. He was very good in his day
