Saintsfan I agree.
You are only as good as your last year.
This is the BUSINESS of NFL and not a popularity contest.

The guy threw 8 touchdowns last year. He threw EIGHTEEN interceptions. EIGHTEEN. His rating for last year was 59.4. FIFTY-NINE-POINT-FOUR. In his last two seasons he has thrown 30 Interceptions. THIRTY INTERCEPTIONS.

Besides his local roots, can someone look at those numbers and kindly explain to me why we'd want him to do anything for the Saints? We might sign him as the waterboy, but the cheerleaders would intercept him and drink up all the gatoraid before he got to the players.

I understand what you are saying Saintfan, but many people see him as he once was and they love the feel good story of Breaux Bridge Boy just like we Booby Hebert( Bob-bay A-bear) and John Fourcade (John Fo-cade).
Both LA boys were ok at QB and were decent people from what I remember off the field.
Fan feel good and comfort does not make a good team of players.
