I truly haven't seen anything spectacular from him this far... at least nothing that SP couldn't coax out of some other low-round/UDFA prospect.

And 31 other teams didn't claim him off waivers

I don't think it's Tulane but the kid looked awesome and had field presence in the first preseason game. That said, he didn't show much after that, only a few sparks.

Luke McCown earned his spot at second string. I honestly don't care who is second string or starts, all I want to do is win!

I agree with that FinSaint.

Case in point: Meachem will see the field more this season than Griffin even if Griffin was on the roster.

good to see Meech back

hopefully we don't need him much as Stills, Cooks and Morgan are blowing the top off things

he always seems to get one deep ball a game
and be invisible the rest of the time

Bringing Meach back makes sense...

With Colston the only other healthy receiver with any real experience...

Audiotom · 09-03-2014, 06:02 PM

all I want is a healthy Drew and to win

McCown can hold for all those pats

I was pulling for Griffin but he was clearly outplayed by McCown in the last two preseason games.

That being said McCown looked like a mess in the first two games.

We have to hope Drew stays healthy.

He looked great in the 2nd game.

You're right he did pretty good in the second game, I guess I was just remembering how much better Griffin looked.

Griffin looked like the smooth, calm starter and McCowen looked stiff and slow, like a back up.
