Ok put aside your obvious man crush on him for a second and come back to reality. He was cut last year by the Saints. If they were so into him they wouldn't have done that. He was resigned because we need 4 QB's in camp. Based on Paytons past 2 seasons, he's keeping only 2 for the regular season... you tell me who is getting cut??? Yeah looks like Martin and Palko. Palko again gets signed to the practice squad (maybe). Martin could be signed back on at anytime if the sky falls on us during the season.

He isn't the future #1 QB at this time. I just don't see it at all.

You may also want to look back at Brett Farve's comments this past year... He also said he isn't a mentor. Its up to the QB to learn and all its not up to the other QB's to coach them up.

while my man-crush is obvious...it is obvious also that payton will not give up on youth...he likes young players because they allow him to be more creative...sean payton is one of the nfl's best play designers...i know u think that they will have only 2 qbs its very possible that they could have 3.....we both agree that jamie is on his way out...the only descrepency is whether there will be a 3rd string qb or not

I wouldn't say VERY POSSIBLE, but I would say anything is possible. The fact that you use youth to prove your point makes the statement not true at all. Martin is far from being YOUTHFUL and he has hung on to that #2 spot for a while now. I think Payton likes to have maturity in the back up position at QB, that is more true than your youth argument. Also the fact that Brunell is onboard and likely to be the #2 QB this season instead of Palko makes the youth point go out the window.

But I will agree that 'anything is possible'.

If coach see something in Palko he'll be around for a while. if he doesn't see anything in the kid he gone.

A guy by the name of Tony Romo is the proof. Small school kid. He hung in Dallas

i think palko is a definite 3rd string for this season....i think brunell will retire and palko will eventually be in line to compete for the starting position

not sure if this means anything as i have never played QB and do not know the nuances of the position, but both are lefties. maybe that doesnt help that much for palko learn from a quality lefty, but it certainly couldnt hurt
