I like what Brunell does for the team, but not sure I am confident with either as the backup. Fingers crossed Drew stays safe

u guys arent confident with a former pro bowler and a promising rookie as our backups?

maybe i missed something but why would you guys rather have a guy like delhomme who doesnt know the system and is now known for throwing INTs as opposed to 2 guys who spent nearly the entire season with us last year?

Avoid Jake like the plague I say. While Brunell needs to go, Jake is not the answer.

Jake Delhomme's career took off when he left the Louisiana nest for the first time in 2003, signing with the Carolina Panthers and immediately leading them to a Super Bowl berth.

Now, the New Orleans Saints want the free-agent quarterback to come back home.
Delhomme, a Breaux Bridge native, former Louisiana-Lafayette star and former Saints backup will visit the Saints on Friday and Saturday to explore the idea of becoming an insurance policy for Super Bowl XLIV MVP Drew Brees.

He'll be the second free agent to visit the Saints this year, following defensive end James Hall, who arrived Thursday. Hall, 32, is a New Orleans native who prepped at St. Augustine and has spent his 10-year career with the Detroit Lions and St. Louis Rams.

Delhomme, 35, was released last week by the Panthers, who are moving on with young replacement Matt Moore. Carolina decided to wipe the remaining portion of Delhomme's sizable contract off the books even though the team still owes him more than $12 million in guaranteed money.

Delhomme made his first visit to the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday and Thursday and could explore other options after his trip to New Orleans. It's not clear yet if he's set on competing for a starting job or willing to sign on as a backup.

What we think about signing Jake is worth exactly what we been paid to express that opinion ... What is important and I trust that Coach Payton and FO will make a decision based on what is best for the team and all of our opinion's .... well!

Having said that ... I think we need to improve our situation at the #2 QB, Brunell has just run out of time, not a knock but just plain speak for where he / his ability to contribute to this team is at going forward. I think we need a QB who has started, won, can help Brees understand breakdown the other teams game plan and weakness, knows how to handle the speed and flow of the NFL game should he need to step in ... and most importantly understand and be comfortable being the #2QB.

Is Jake ready for that roll ... we'll see. No question he has had a bad run the last couple of years ... not defending Jake's results ... but injury, lack of offensive targets / 1 trick pony passing game, ultra conservative game planning and calling by Coach Fox and no doubt big time pressing on Jake's part as they played from behind almost every game ... are all contributing factors to Jake's terrible numbers the last 2 years.

Chase Daniels ... can't give an informed opinion on the guy's ability ... I've never seen him take a snap ... Brunell ... just too old and slow and I really do like Mark, but ... RETIRE ... PLEASE! ... We need someone who can play / has played at the Championship level should the unspeakable happen ... no one can replace Brees the way he's playing right now, but we need someone who can at least understand and execute Coach Payton's offense.

I will openly admit I am fan of Jake, watched him in High School every week, watched him at USL and with Saints ... always a fan and supporter ... see him several times a year around Lafayette during the off season ... a nicer STAND UP GUY you will not find ... If Coach Payton and FO say he's the man it would be a good thing on many levels ... IMOH

Delhomme is too dumb for the Saints offense and his arm is a noodle.

And his is a whining crybaby.

I would puke every time I saw him in a Saints uniform.
