Back in the day he was a solid LB. We have no depth at the position right now.

Our newbee is supposedly the QB of the future. Flynn is just the backup. Grayson won't benefit from being thrown in the fire while he's nowhere near ready, in my opinion.

I agree but the point I was making is our backup QB has not left the bench in 42 years. Is GG really that bad to where even the thought of him coming in scares SP?

Who ever said the thought of GG playing scares Payton? Thats a reach.

Well, if he was not scared why would he pick up Flynn? This is the first year he carried 3 qb's on the active roster in a long time. GG has been in the system and Flynn has not so you would figured he would have a leg up. So why is he still 3rd string?

Well the Dude knows a few playbooks, probably a good signing in light of McCown's going out.

RaginCajun83 · 11-09-2015, 11:09 PM

so does that mean the Saints have a back up back up generator now?

This was long overdue. I was cheering on LSU in 2007 along with my gamecocks.

I have to point out though he never had a chance in Seattle and could not save the mess in Oakland. When he went back to GB he took a few weeks to get in a rhythym before getting on track in Dallas. I think he could have been a good starter for the right team.
