Who Starts Now at QB for the Saints?
 
Since we can't add a poll in an existing thread, let's do one here.

I was listening to WWL tonight while traveling. They had a doctor saying that the injury could get worse, or worse yet, due to the lack of mobility of Brees, he could injure something else.

In light of Brees' foot injury, what happens next?

Matt Flynn.

Just tank the season but be classy about it, don't be like the buccaneers and be so obvious about it

With so much unknown about Drew Brees with that 30 million dollar cap hit, I would say Matt Flynn needs to play to see if he is a possible starter while a rookie/young QB gets ready, or if he could possibly be that new backup for Drew in 2016.

I don't know why anyone would start Flynn?

Seriously, didn't we draft Grayson as Payton thought he could possibly take over when the time comes, we have nothing to lose, seasons over, Throw the young guy into the fire and see how he holds up.

I voted for the last option :banana:

Flynn is the backup, makes sense to start him.

Flynn without question

Trade for RG3! Have Washington give us a high pick to take him off their hands.

Flynn isn't a starter. He had one great game with the likes of Cobb, Nelson and a good Packer offense. Has been beaten out the last 2 places that signed
him.

Trade deadline? No, that's not the answer I was looking for. This is the land where "What If" IS!!!

Not sure why Brees will not start. He did better after the injury and it is one you can play through.

We should play GG

Now is the perfect opportunity to evaluate the youngster Grayson. Game film baby.

Grayson should start. We spent a 3rd round pick on him. Let's see what he can do.

SloMotion 12-23-2015 01:08 PM

Re: Who Starts Now at QB for the Saints?
 
You already know what you got in Flynn ... a proven backup, that's it. Start the kid (GG) and see if he's got the potential to be your future starter or trade bait ... JMO. Also voted for putting Browner under center ... do QB's get flagged for personal fouls often? :lol:.

Flynn the human, not Flynn the cat will probably start, although I think GG should start, unless he is really, really not ready. But Flynn, he's been a back up for a long time for a reason,,,,,,because he is a backup and thats all he will ever be.

ctsaint01 12-23-2015 10:02 PM

Re: Who Starts Now at QB for the Saints?
 
They should go with the rook to see what he's got. What does he have to lose? If anything, he'll gain experience. FTW!! Goofy Garrett Grayson=Triple G 😄

If he ain't ready, he ain't ready, I guess, and I'll defer to the coaching staff's better judgement ... but man, GG better come out like Aaron Rodgers (as was pointed out) when he does get his chance, the way they're keeping him off the field ... he's getting plenty of prep time as an understudy to one of the games finest, :neutral:.

For people saying don't start Grayson if he's not ready here's my take: if he's a p***y and can't handle potentially playing poorly for two games then I don't want him here anyway. He's going to suck if he starts, so why not see if the kid has some toughness to him.

1. Aaron Brooks
2. Brett Favre
3. Troy Smith

This line of logic doesn't make sense.

You use one example that has no basis being used and suddenly that is how you groom QBs...

Who is to say that Rodgers couldn't have come out his rookie year and done just as well? How do you know that he actually gained anything sitting behind #4?

You can use that one example, but it can be countered with examples like Luck and manning ect...

Greyson should start and if he doesn't it's just another poor/stupid decision by an out of control coaching staff.

Are you intentionally trying to confuse me? :lol:. Not sure what your point is, but I think you're reading way too much into my post, brah ... I just think they should look at the kid (GG), but if the coaching staff feels he's not ready, they're closer to the situation and I defer because there's nothing else you can do as a fan.

Didn't say anything about how to groom QB's, it was pointed out that Rodgers was kept off the field and maybe that's what's being done with GG & just feel if the coaching staff doesn't want to follow my advice and play him because they feel he's still being developed, when they finally do feel he's ready, all this developing behind Brees should have benefited him like it did with Rodgers behind Favre ... and Rodgers has stated those years holding the clipboard for Favre were invaluable to his development, #shrug.

As for Luck & Manning, those guys started out the gate because they were ready, and I'm not clear on what we're countering here, #shrug. Is GG at the level Luck/Manning were coming out of college? Somebody doesn't think so.

Does that clear anything up for you? Maybe if you went back and read some of my previous posts you'd see I want Grayson to start, :).

This is exactly my point. Does anyone remember the Brodie Croyle experiment in KC? It ended up being a disaster for that team.

Since he can't hold a football, I think the best choice would be to run the Wildcat all game and put him out wide. He can't block but he can hiss and scratch. If we were playing the Giants it would make Odell freak out.

That's a Russian Blue cat.

The Russian Blue is a cat breed that tends to come in colors varying from a light shale grey to a darker, opaque black. The lighter colored felines in this specific family tend to be more aggressive and territorial than their counterparts, but are both very intelligent and playful, also tending to be more shy around strangers. They develop close bonds with their human companions and are sought out as pets due to their personalities and coat.
