Jake was already gone. Anyone remember Brooks' back up? Todd Bouman? He was TERRIBLE.
Brooks is gone, but at the time Haslett made the best decision for the team. The evil u know, is better
than the evil u don't know. Haslett and AB are gone now. If they bring jake back so be it, but I
just think we have more pressing signings, than the back up QB right now.

Agree with everything you said.

Let me add,some Saints fans loved loved the idea of Jake Delhomme, Breaux Bridge boy. Cajun boy.LA boy.
HE was at CP by then.

Some Saints fans have selected memory. Some have imaginations.
Bobby- they loved Bob-bay A-Bear from Cut Off, Louisiana boy. He was an average QB. He was from LA, but he was average.
Arch, Miss'sippi boy...loved Arch. Archie Manning was an average QB.
The Saints during the late 80's , I think, could have had Warren Moon,but nah, so Richard Todd was Saints QB. Oh boy! Richard Todd. Choosing Richard Todd over Warren Moon,figure that one out.
Correct me if I am wrong about the timing here.
Kenny "Snake" Stabler was past due when Bum brought him in.

Now,Jake is free. I know, many Saints are so excited at the thought of having Jake, Cajun Breaux Brdige boy, LA native play in his backyard, but thinking realistically and thinking Playoff's and Saints future, this is not so good. It is a real feel good ,cute, story to have Jake Da-lome from Bro Bridg, Loosiana!!!
Jake is an older QB at 35. JD is a first string QB still.
Brees is 31 and is a strong QB and Saints first string QB. What will Jake do? Sit on the bench.
The cost for JakeD is a lot of money. NFL is a business, but this is kind of like a stab to Brees, you know.

Better would be get a young QB. Get one with potential. Get one for Saints future. Get one now at a lesser price and who can sit backand learn from Brees and Saints coaches.

How is signing a backup QB a stab at Brees?

Make no mistake about it, whoever we go with is going to be in the role of backup and is going to be paid backup money. If JD is not on board with either of those conditions then he disqualifies himself.
