I agree you never know, a lot of potential there.

sure why not he is on the team. once he gets cut then i will know

Won't be Griffin, from the way I've seen Payton work he will probably be an UDFA with great mechanics, work ethic, smart as ****; from a small school no one has heard of.

What?!?

Griffin is an UDFA with great mechanics, work ethic, is smart and Tulane is not real popular outside this region...

Griffin hasn't had any talent around him though Curtis Johnson will remedy that situation at Tulane; by the way Joe Montana's kid is now quarterback at Tulane - what does that tell you about the Coach Payton's coaching tree reputation?!?

Only knock is Griffin's arm strength; and that will improve - just hope no one claims him off our ps...

My only knock against Griffin is timing. Baring catastrophic injury Drew Brees will be in a Saints uniform for at least 4 more years. In 4 years Griffin will either not make it off the practice squad and be let go, or if he becomes starting material become our BU and get taken by another team like Chase.

It's all about timing and opportunity.



Don't what me! LOL

Griffin will be the backup next year and possibly 2015 but after that someone will pick him up just like KC did with Daniel. 2016 we will probably sign Drew's replacement who will take over in 2018.

Griffin's got potential down the road. Cant deny Luke M.'s preseason play, I was somewhat impressed. He should definitely be #2.

Drew will be around a bit barring massive injury so no point worrying about the future at the moment.

FYI those of you bringing up Johnny football need help.

Id love him but I dont think the csp space could even be made when he is a FA next year unlesd a big earner could be traded.
I dont see Drews contract being renegotiated till the season after and a few players contracts are up and Jimmy needs a new deal.Id rather pick up some younger cheaper talent in the draft like Ladler, Clinton-Dix and Reynolds.

i like what i saw out of him in the preseason myself.

I actually like him better than I liked Chase. Chase sometimes looked a little too "Alex Smithy" back there for my tastes, throwing wobblers or taking off running like a deer in the headlights when he got panicked. This kid, when he's in there it looks like a Brees/Payton offense, the plays look the same, the players and formations look the same, the motions look the same...still like McCown better right now but no question Griffin has upside and a bit of the intangible "it" for the future.
