Re: Back-up QB options?

Chase Daniels was on the practice squad from what I remember and was cut and brought back a few times. It would be hard to match Drews measurables and compare the two. Payton will probably bring in a couple of young guys to compete with Daniels. There are several good young backups out there and Payton has shown the ability to evaluate talent well.

Keep Chase. Let him grow behind Drew.

He is probably the last option I would consider. He hasn't been the same since that spleen injury...or whatever it was he hurt.

Re: Back-up QB options?

Having read everyones comments, all I can add is this, Brunell is probably going to stay on as our back-up QB, mostly due to northing better being out there in FA. IMO he doesn't have it anymore and can't make the throws but do any of you see any good veterans out there willing to sign as a backup? I sure don't. Maybe the kid will develop, we'll just have to see but once again we are in the same boat as last year. Pray nothing happens to Brees.

brunell is a waste of money...he does nothing. i'm sure someone else could hold the snaps better than he did last year.

Re: Back-up QB options?

I have an idea, let's make Drew Brees the second stringer, behind Drew Brees. Honestly, I would take an injured Drew, over either one of our back ups, any day of the week. And we all know he's not human anyway. He is an NFL robot, sent back from the future, to destroy all those in his path. I swear I saw a Skynet tattoo on his ankle.

Re: Back-up QB options?

Gentelmen while having a solid plan B is always a issue, "WE HAVE THE BEST QB IN THE GAME IN HIS PRIME" why are we worring about something that wont be an issue for 6 years from now? I say Daniel can use the time to learn under one of the greats of our generation, Look at Arron Rodgers he sat behind Darth Vader foreverand when he got his chance he was prepared to take over from the expierence he gained learning the offense and watching it executed correctly.( sum what)

If we were to look into a serviceable back-up I say pry Tyler Thigpen from the Phins, He got shafted when haley came to town, He's not bad reminds me of a young Rich Gannon, Stat mongurs be advised no one can do well behind a bad offensive line.( See Jay Cutler)

Interesting. I would love to see Thigpen here as the back-up.
