Not 5.
Rogers got his shot in his 4th season. He went 3 seasons untouched. Not the normal rule but it happens. |

Re: Saints UDFA Ryan Griffin the QB of the Future
Long progression to get to the top but look what happens with some guys like RG3, Wilson, among others sometimes you go to the right team and if you have "IT" you dont toll in the trenches. Hom much better would Brees be if he was 6Ft 5in ?

Re: Saints UDFA Ryan Griffin the QB of the Future
I'm not going to get into the whole who will replace Drew Brees thing...
Because I don't think we'll get that type of player again ever. I'm going to enjoy what he has left. P.S. I also feel sorry for the poor sob that does have to replace him |

Re: Saints UDFA Ryan Griffin the QB of the Future
Great QBs normally become starters out of necessity. Rarely are the Smiths booted out for the Kaeperniks, and rarely are they groomed to become elite. Sitting the bench behind a great provides little value beyond the first year. No one knows if a QB will be great until after they have been great for a few seasons.
They are either: Drafted to start Starter retires Starter has career ending injury |

Re: Saints UDFA Ryan Griffin the QB of the Future
Let me start off by saying I love Brees, now I do not see him playing with being high effectively over another 3 years( I know, bash away) so why not groom this rookie to be a starter(keep in mind he may never live up to Brees) but if he can win games on a consistant level and plays well he has my vote. Who knows it possibly could end up like Brady got his start, you never know?!!

Re: Saints UDFA Ryan Griffin the QB of the Future
Let Payton and Loomis worry about Brees' replacement and when its time to find the poor sob.
I already don't like the guy because he isn't Brees! |
