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

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.
