After reading about 6 pages of comments, I'd like to give some history.
Year 2002, 5th to last game, Saints comfortably ahead of opponent (was it Tampa?), then would go 3 and out and opponent would come down and score; Saints would go 3 and out and opponent would come down and score again; if it happened one more time Saints would lose; Jake was sent in and got the first down to save the game (pass to Joe Horn, hit hard, on ground, and snaked his hand ahead indicating first down). 4th to last game, Jake played most of second half and won that one. Final 3 games Jake sat the bench, Saints lost all 3, didn't make playoffs though loaded with talent except in coaching staff.
Year 2003, 1st game of season at Carolina: starting qb Rodney Peete was not injured, led Panthers to 38 total yards in first half and no first downs (maybe 1 first down); opponent received in second half; score 17-0 by the time Carolina got the ball; starter benched, Jake came in to lead a totally differently performing team; Carolina won 24-20 (I think) with a pass to Proehl with some seconds left.
Re noodle arm. Jake participated in 2 QB competitions in off-season. In first, his long pass was 65 yards; in second the following year, which he won, long pass was 73 yards and was the longest (I think) in that competition. His arm is supposed to be stronger after TJ surgery.
