The New Orleans Saints will start Mark Brunell at quarterback on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, with Drew Brees serving as the team's emergency third quarterback.

The Saints will activate Chase Daniels from the practice squad and he will be Brunell's backup.

The 13-2 Saints have already secured the No. 1 see in the NFC playoffs

Excellent! That's a move that a smart organization that understands the ultimate goal makes. A organization that understands what an irrelevant games really means.

Playing your All Pro QB in a meaningless regular season game when the playoffs are looming is like throwing a ball across your body back into the middle of the field... in both cases only bad things can happen.

Play every backup and young player. Play only starters that cannot be replaced (receivers for example) or who have not played in the last month (Greer).

Heck, the Saints may still win the game. You never know.

But you do know that your starters will be ready come the weekend of January 16th.

Smart move SP. Smart move.
