To Ramsey or not to Ramsey?

Is that the question?

New Orleans Saints free to sign backup quarterback Patrick Ramsey on Thursday | NOLA.com

Do we actually want Ramsey?

I say no.... what say you?

Well, at this point who else can the Saints possibly bring in? I think it's a good move, Ramsey is a smart guy who will benefit from the coaching staff in place. If anyone can salvage his career it is Sean Payton. I do believe this is an upgrade over Brunell. Would really hate to start the season with a rookie and a 2nd year QB as the only options if Brees cannot go.

Well said.

I'd love a stop-gap veteran to fill in for a 3 or 4 game span if necessary. Ramsey fits the bill.

It'll be fun to see how far Daniel advances with a Payton season under his belt.

Canfield is long-term project number 2 right behind Chase.

Since Payton is a QB guru, I'll bet they have their eyes on several veterans whould could come in and stop the bleeding if Brees is forced to miss some games.

I wouldn't sell the staff short on a QB contingency plan. Keep it simple and let the stars around our QB step it up.

But lets hope no one sees the field other than Brees.

We will sign him...we will be free to do so....not bad backup...

While I don't think he is long term starter material, I do think he is a capable backup and would probably be ok to come in for a few games. I have enough confidence in the FO that any QB they sign as a #2 will be good enough.

I'd rather sign the women in Danno's avator.
