Wonder why we didn't try for Kellen Moore as he was a UFA after the draft.
Would have been worth a look.

Maybe too expensive, since there were quite a few teams interested in his services?

i always like Kellen Moore. money i am sure.

Dennis Dixon might be a good pick up. he is a solid dual threat qb like newton is in carolina.

could be...
he only signed with Pitt last year bc of the lockout/strike/whatever

Pitt has the ageless twins Leftwich and Batch, so they must not think a lot of DD

I would think the last thing that the Saints would want is a completely different style of "dual threat like Newton" quarterback to be the backup, meaning a completely different style of offense and a completely different set of plays and blocking schemes to be installed whenever he is in the game. The Saints MO is to have a backup QB who is as much like Drew as possible. When Chase is out there during preseason, he is running the same exact plays that Drew and the big boys run, just with Courtney Roby and Arrington etc. The Sean Payton offense doesn't change its style or miss a beat when you swap out a player, and that includes Drew as well.

That would get him $23million per year easy...

We know he can shovel-pass left handed.
Wouldn't surprise me if he could complete a screen or check down lefty over the top.
