Former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray tells ESPN he'd 'gladly' back up New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; AJ is a winner and a leader. He just has mediocre physical skills. AJ can become an Alex Smith type QB, with a little less running ability. Game manager, and probably a very good one. Haven't seen enough of Murray ...

Haven't seen enough of Murray to compare his skillset to a current player. I've read he compares to Andy Dalton?

I hope not. I've been telling teams the truth. I will ONLY hold the clipboard. Not interested in getting in the game at all but want to be considered a backup QB. And while I will hold the clipboard there will be times where I will put it down and walk into the stands to buy a beer. But I'll return after that. Oh, and I will need to always stand with the Saintsations. I like them.

If I happen to get too many beers in the first half I will probably not be back for the second half. It just depends. Also I've been working hard on my 34 handicap golf game so I won't have time for much practices with the team. Besides holding a clipboard doesn't require much practice.

I take a 2 week vacation in September. That isn't negotiable. And the holidays of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas weekends are out of the question so they will need a backup clipboard holder.

With this knowledge I would say that I can hold the clipboard 1/3 of the season usually about 1/2 of the time per game.

That sounds like 7th round to me.

One thing I learned from drinking. You should always go Christmas caroling with a group. Oh, and always in mid-December.

He compares a lot to Drew imo... a lot. Size, arm strength, accuracy, smarts, ability to progress through their reads, make check downs when throws aren't there, etc.

I'm a fan. I'm a big fan. I think if Payton and Drew got their hands on this kid, he will be a successful quarterback down the road. I don't care to burn a pick on a quarterback either but if he's there at the right pick for us, I want him.

I think he tied Aaron Brooks in the Wonderslick... That means he is a lock for the Failclowns!
