Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons

I'm sure the coaches had enough foresight NOT to share the entire playbook with a 3rd string journeyman QB who they knew wouldn't make the roster.

That being said, I STILL HATE THE FALCONS

Good luck, Luke McCown.

Knowing the playbook is not the same as knowing which way the Brees will blow.

Give him a Bozo nose and a little brown stain and he'll fit right in. Still can't figure out what he was ever doing in Black and (sorta) Gold to begin with.

Maybe this went the other direction. Many of us wondered why McCown was even on the SAINTS roster. As it turns out, the new O-coordinator for the falcons was with McCown in Jax for three years. Maybe we signed McCown to keep him away from the clowns for as long as we could.

Why would we do that? What good would it do us to keep a backup qb away from ATL?

After seeing him play a little, I'd think it would be in the Saints best interests if he were on the falcons roster.

He was brought in because the last time the Saints signed a washed up QB from Jax for the preseason they won the Superbowl.

Or at least that's my theory...

Should we bring in Redman?

The rapper, yes. The QB, no.
