Between JD and Brunell at backup i'd take JD and still pray that Brees never goes down. Fact of the matter we will never have a great backup or someone better than Brees. We need to have someone manage a game and not lose it for us. I have no confidence that Brunell could lead a drive to win us a game. JD has had only 1 receiver to throw to and I have to wonder what he would do having 4. I'd give him the backup role and retire Brunell to coaching.

If he had 4 WR's to throw to -- He'd have a better chance of one of his guys going up and grabbing his horribly over (or under) thrown pass lobbed over the middle into triple coverage.

No, I'll take the old veteran with some savvy over the 'not-quite-so-old' veteran who was overrated from the start (well, not really since people in the know left him undrafed and other people in the know - like Bill Parcells and others cut him multiple times).

Just say NO to Jake in N.O.

What Savvy? Who did he impress whe he was in? He's not an active 40 year old playing like Warner or Farve. He's cold off the bench. Not saying he doesn't have smarts or knowledge but I'd swap him for Jake in a heart beat and still hope neither of them have to start.

Jake's got bad mojo. Some of those two-a-game-by-average INTs might rub off on the team. Is Leaf out of jail yet? I'd take him over the interception machine at this point.
