Re: Who's your #2 QB?
I would really hate to lose a roster spot keeping 3 QB's and I doubt Grayson makes it to practice squad. I have concerns Griffin wouldn't either. But I would vote for Grayson getting the #2 only because of the investment in him, letting McNown walk and trying to push Griffin to the PS and hope for the best.

Re: Who's your #2 QB?
Yes! Go for the gamble and try to get Griffin past waivers and onto the PS then bring him up to start if Brees injured.

Re: Who's your #2 QB?
McCown has the least value to us but the most value to another team. Grayson is the future and won't make it to the PS. Griffin has all the potential but we don't know what his ceiling is......we know McCowns ceiling and it's not much more than a game manager. I hope we keep Griffin and Grayson.

He certainly wouldn't start elsewhere (or he would have tested that market) and how much does he offer as a backup? Not real dynamic, no great history, and nothing for the future. Perspective: he has thrown for 2000 yards...in his career |

Re: Who's your #2 QB?
McCown would be great if the receivers could wear orange cones and if he didn't have to face a pass rush.

Griffin. Which mean Payton will choose McNown.
