Cooper Rush QB
 

Since our backups suck, even Chase, should we not consider alternatives?

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

Keep what we have. Probably not much better out there right now than what we have.
Besides, if we lose Brees we're probably 7-9 again or worse.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

I say wait and see what the draft has in store and/or free agency...

Drew has a few years left yet...

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

True, we aren't going to find his replacement by poaching some backup from another team.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

This is not for his replacement, but a better backup than what we already have. Should we not always be looking? We did try Nassib this preseason. How's he working out so far?

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

Nassib was auditioning for the 3rd QB spot; no one you bring in is unsitting Chase for the #2...

He knows the system too well...

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

I am sure when cuts begin we will kick a few tires... we always do that and see if any stick on the practice squad.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

Go Chippewas!

Just wanted to say that.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

But he's "THE KID"!!!!!! Can't Miss!!! this is of course till the next "THE KID" comes along!

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

"Free" agent Franchise QB? That's all you'll have is a QB....I can see the headline now "Saints sign "THE KID" to richest contract ever!!! All they got was a Quarter Back!!!!! Hello, is this thing on?

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

He's played well so far in the preseason. Would be nice to have him as a #3 to stash on the PS. We need a reliable backup and Chase knows the system. But in order to pluck him from the Cowboys practice squad, I think he'd have to be on the 53 man roster. Which means we'd have to either sign him and get rid of Chase or carry three QBs on the active roster. And with the defensive players we have, its gonna be tough to make cuts anyway.

That said, Payton did try this with that GB quarterback last year. Of course then injuries destroyed us and he had to be cut and didn't last 5 minutes before he was picked up again.

We do need to start looking for another QB to groom under Brees. One that's young and can be a solid #2 for a few seasons before Brees retires.. GG sure isn't that guy.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

he is a solid project QB

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

Once again, our future QB is still in high school.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

Ryan Nassib $775,000 and Garrett Grayson $850,151.

for

Cooper Rush 3 yr(s) / $1,665,000

average annual salary of $555,000

Nickles and dimes but they add up

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

GG is overpaid... Nassib had a pick six already. Cut them both and sign this kid.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

From what I've seen, Rush will not be cut or even placed on the practice squad for the Cowboys. He's played really well which confirms to me that Jason Garrett is a pretty good QB coach.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

I'm in. bring him in.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

A pick 6? Brees would never!!

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

I like him more that the backup in New England.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

His problem is not knowing, it's executing the system

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

If he gets cut and the Saints keep 3, he's better than Grayson or Nassib.

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

Did somebody just pick this guy's name out of a hat of all second and third string QBs for us to discuss?

Re: Cooper Rush QB
 

HE'S " The Kid" !!!!!!!!!
