Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

The Atlanta Falcons have a new backup for Matt Ryan.
Chris Redman, who spent the last four seasons as Atlanta's No. 2 quarterback, was released Tuesday so the team could sign Luke McCown.
McCown spent the past three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, making two starts among his eight appearances. He worked with Dirk Koetter, who is now the Falcons' offensive coordinator, which undoubtedly contributed to the decision to bring in someone new to back up Ryan.
Originally a fourth-round pick by Cleveland in 2004, McCown also played with Tampa Bay. He signed with New Orleans before the start of training camp this year, but was cut by the Saints on Monday.
One day later, he had a new team.


Falcons cut Redman, bring in McCown as No. 2 QB - Yahoo! Sports

Find that MOFO now!

If (he) goes to Indochina, I want a (brother) waiting in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his @$$.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

Definitely a playbook move; the guy sucks

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

you cut Chris Redman for Luke Mclown ? Really

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

They're basically trying to rent our play book.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

Yeah, it never works. Rugby Saint II you ok down there.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

I thought Redman was a decent back up. Replacing him with McCown is a big downgrade. Redman came in and almost beat us once, he has some skills and talent, while McCown is little more than a camp body.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

Yeah, pathetic play-book copping. He sucks, so he'll fit right in ... and then they'll cut him when they're done picking what little information he managed to retain.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

Even if it was for the playbook insights, "mcClown" was hardly the master of our system, the falcons already know what we do on offense and have failed to stop us for 3 years now, not gonna make a difference

Re: 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

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

Good luck, Luke McCown.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

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

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

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.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

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.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

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

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

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

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

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...

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

Should we bring in Redman?

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

The rapper, yes. The QB, no.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

NO, the PLAYBOOK just signed a 5-year, 100 Mil contract with the Saints!

For the Falcons, no Drew, no playbook!

During the last Rebel Alliance supported signal - Jedi Master Sean Payton's Hologram suggested a Red Herring Strategy to sabotage Darth Rodge's outpost in Atlanta as he suspected McCown an Imperial Spy...

So glad the Jedi are on our side...

Man these storms make me silly...

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

Both of these guys suck Redman just happen to suck more than McCown, Dominique Davis will be our #2 QB.

Re: Newly cut McCown signs with Falcoons
 

We play the falcons twice a year and we've had the same damn playbook for 6 years.

There's nothing McCown can tell them that they don't already know.

What the hell are they gonna ask him? Uh Luke, how can we stop Brees, PT, Ingram, Sproles, Colston, Graham, Henderson, Moore, and Ivory?

This had NOTHING to do with wanting Saints intell. Their back-ups simply suck and they're thinking since we brought him in there may be something worth looking at.
