Saints UDFA Ryan Griffin the QB of the Future

Unless he has a stellar preseason, I see that as well. And quite frankly, there's nothing wrong with that for him or us. Getting paid 6 digits to play football with minimal risk of injury is hardly a bad living.

I'm thinking Ryan gets cut and signed to the practice squad, where he'll remain a couple years.

Drews replacement, barring a freak injury, is still playing high school football.

There are two things a GM and a Coach have to put into perspective, probable and possible. We are probably fine and Drew will probably not go down leaving us with the BU decision. There is a possibility that he could and that is what we have to be prepared for. Its the gamble. Its the reason I keep a spare tire on all of my vehicles.

You will just have to excuse my lack of any faith in either McCown or Wallace.

They have both proven in more than one place that they are not starters.

Seneca Wallace - Years in NFL 7, Games Started 21, Interceptions 18, 59% Comp, QBR 81
Luke McCown - years in NFL 7, Games started 9, Interceptions 14, 58% comp, QBR 68

Griffin has yet to prove anything which to me is a glass 1/2 full.

There is no need to excuse your lack of faith in these two guys. It's totally justified. I'm glad Ryan's here and won't be surprised if we see him put Wallace and McClown in the soup line in short order.

Does it matter if he waits? Is he our QB of the future? That's the big question

Griffin is a cerebral QB.............Sean Payton really likes that in his QBs.

#3 is a good spot for him if he earns it
