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.
