McCown or Griffin?

Grayson seems destined for practice squad - safely...

Other than having the job for the previous two seasons. I haven't seen anything from McCown that makes me think he's got the #2 locked.

I want to see Griffin get the start next week and if he does I bet he'll outshine Luke and win the #2

As much as I can't believe I am saying this, Griffin looks like a better #2 at this point.

Griffin should stay and McCown leaves. McCown has no upside, what you see is what you get with him and that ain't much. I believe the other two have more potential if they can get experience with 1st or 2nd defenses in preseason.

I like McCown but agree with ya'll about Griffin. Upside wins.

I think they should cut both of them and possibly bring Griffin to the practice squad. I don't think you can cut Grayson without someone claiming him.

Does it matter? Brees goes down and we are screwed.

I wouldn't attempt to put Grayson on the practice squad. He is liable to be snagged up. Brees, Griffin and Grayson... we carry 3 this year!

I think that we are screwed even with Brees. Has nothing to do with the offense this coaching staff and front office has no idea how to put a decent defense together face the facts we haven't had a really decent defense sine the mid 80's with the exception of the Super Bowl year and that was cause of the turnovers

We'll see who lands the job. But I suspect it's more complicated than just the ol' "eyeball test."

McCown looks washed up, but who was it that held the field goals in the Saints NFC Championship and Super Bowl? A washed up grizzled 40 year old QB named Mark Brunell. We know Brees likes McCown, seems to get along well with him. Chemistry in the clipboard/baseball cap area of the field, is important. Payton likes young guys, but in the past he's also leaned towards veteran QBs with shaky knees and sharp eyes; he likes to have experienced guys in that conversation on the sidelines, during time outs, almost like an extra coach looking at Polaroids on the bench with the team.

McCown gave up the clumsy fumble but then he also kinda sorta made up for it on the 2 minute drive that resulted in the 53 yarder. He had another 2 minute drive that looked really good last week.

The eyeballs say "anybody but McCown," but knowing Payton and Brees, I would not be at all surprised if McCown ultimately makes it and survives another year. Do not want to ever see McCown on Sunday, though. Unless the division is clinched and we are resting.

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.
