Why?? Didn't we already go through this once before?! It didn't work out the first time, what makes them think it will work out this time?!

I think the reason it didn't work out before is because Jim Hasbeen had a man crush on AB but having said that I thin k Jake has been rode hard by the Panthers and hung up wet. Not a good move . . .

Scenario:

Drew slams his hand into a helmet in the first game of the season and bruises his pinky. Jake comes in for ONE play, throws a 5 yard slant and completes it for a first down. Drew comes back in on the next play and throws a bomb downfield to Devry who bobbles the pass allowing it to be intercepted.

Sean doesn't pull Drew even though he continues to have a bad game by his standards. The following Monday, the media and Saints fandom are ripe with "Give Jake the Ball" freenzy and conspiracy theories about about how Sean won't give Jake a fair shot and that based on his 1-completion performance he should become the starter until (at least) Drew can once again use his pinky finger to pick his nose pain free.

Oh GOD PLEASE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Saintfan...that is a scary, scary scenerio. The one thing you don't want is Brees looking over his shoulder. You always see quarterbacks go down hill fast when that happens.

What????? Do you really think Drew needs to look over his shoulder no matter who his backup is? Come on. We need a good backup and he IS a good backup.

thanks voodoo your making all the sense in the world. delhomme is home he won't battle for the starting position. he will be 10 times better then uncle brunel.he will give us a hell of a chance of winning if drew ever goes down. we have a offensive line thats 2nd to none so drew may never see the whirlpool much less the bench. jake would be the best backup in the league. i don't know if he will take backup money. only if he concedes to being a starter i suppose.

I am NOT a Brooks fan, let me make that perfectly clear. What I will say, is that he QB'd us
to our first winning season, with a play off win. He earned his starting position, when he did that.
Now, after his second or third season of idiocy, YES, he should have been benched, but by then
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.
