Hey y'all,
I've been lurking here for a while now and I appreciate how much everyone cares about our Saints. I've been a fan since the early 80's and I've never had so much hope going into the season as i did this year. :(

I see both sides of the AB debate. I think LummOx summed up my opinion; i.e. that he could be a great quarterback but not in the current Saints' system.

Now that Mark Brunell is out of a job in Jax, it seems to me he could be the answer for the Saints. A veteran leader who has performed well throughout his career despite not always being surrounded by great talent, he's got the arm (at least I think he still does) to get the ball down field to our speedy wideouts, and the leadership skills to get both offense and defense to perform at their best. OK, so he's not going to be around forever, but the Saints need a leader at QB now so they can make a playoff run this year. I know the D is pretty sad, but with an offense that could run some time off the clock and score some points, I think the Saints could win quite a few games while waiting for Howard and some of the other defensive players to come back.

The only reason Brunell is not starting any more in Jax is because they have given up on their season. It's too early for the Saints to do the same with the talent they have on offense.

What do y'all think? By the way, now that I've used this text editor with its tiny font, I understand why there are so many typos on this board. ;)
