YES....im impressed to see someone else taking this stance with me...i talked earlier about mark brunell retiring as a saint and that would move palko into the 2 position..if he trains under brunell who is a great passer....and then under drew who is a freaking genious when it comes to reading Ds...Palko will start with great knowledge and great understanding of the game....according to John Madden in Madden '07....90% of the game is half mental lol

What Bree's isn't a good mentor???

Aren't you worried what message that sends to the team?

The fact that Brunell was brought in means Palko's days are numbered. -I hope we see the last of Martin.

We probably won't carry 3 QB's this season, so you have to do the math.

i didnt say he wasnt a good mentor....but while brunell and palko are on the sidelines watching drew...tyler will get more lessons from brunell...and then when he retires palko will know what his role is as the future of the Saints....they didnt sign palko just to get rid of him....mark brunell's days are numbered....i see him retiring by 2010 and palko will be there when he does

martin wont make it past training camp....he will be a practice squad qb....maybe...thats if he manages to impress the coach even that much

Palko is a coaches son. Are we forgetting this? If any back up should understand the need to listen and study it should be him. He has been doing this all of his life. I feel very good with sean choice and the direction he wants to go in. what ever that may be

QB's aren't hired to give lesson's. They are hired to be QB's and back up QB's. What Palko does with his time is up to him.

Palko signed on perhaps as a camp body. Don't get me wrong I like him... and I though he should have been on the roster last year in place of Martin. THey cut Palko last year so yes they will cut him again if they need to. He'll get cut at the start of the season and if no one picks him up he'll be put on the practice squad again. This will be the last year he can be kept on the practice squad if no one else picks him up that is.

QB's are hired to play....giving lessons is just the bonus that comes along with being a starter or a veteran....when u bring in a rookie they study, so to speak, under the vets....Palko has talent...plus the knowledge he'll gain from brunell and brees will push him into a starting role...if another team gets him he can and will start in the future for them

Re: will Payton groom Palko?
 

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
