Sitting injured players down isn't "letting them take a week off"

Favre played with a bad shoulder and destroyed a playoff season for the Jets. I recall a Saints QB doing the same thing.

Will Smith played with a sports hernia last year and was average. A fully healthy backup probably would have played better. Maybe the Saints missed the playoffs last year because of it?

Playing through injury has been held up as a goal in the NFL and I think teams are realizing that an injured star is not going to play better than a healthy backup.

The Patriots are the masters of this. Their signature is plug and play with anybody in the position (other than Brady).

I'm hoping the Saints do the same.

They did pretty well without Brady last year.
