Not here to talk about when per-say but how?

There has been tons of conversation about whether we draft one now to get time under Drew or wait until Drew is about to retire. I had a long drive the other day and i came up with some alternative approaches.

1. Is our offense a Sean Payton offense or a Drew Brees offense (Payton manning like)? E.G. Do you look for a QB that fits our offense or do you find the QB and build our offense to suit?

Now the more intriguing question.

2. What if it isn't really about the when for Sean Payton but more about the who? For me "the who" changes things a good bit. Instead of saying "this or next season is our year to draft", rather ask "who is the best QB we go after"... we ask our selves who will the "best QB for us" be over the next 3 years? He could be a freshman or sophomore right now... You decide that QB-X will be the next Saints QB because he is what we want and need and when the time comes you go after him.


Personally, I would rather draft and start the right rookie for this team than draft someone not as suited to sit under Drew for a few seasons.
