HA!

Teddy will be a free agency in March and I don't see us pumping out cash to keep him, unless he drives interest. This game will be his only real test as a backup/starter. He did do well for the Jets in the preseason.

If Teddy flounders, Tasom Hill will probably get action.

I really would like to see Teddy do well. It's always smart to have a solid backup and maybe some trade or assets for trade for draft or otherwise. In fact, the better Teddy does Sunday, the better it is for the team overall.

I really like the kid - I have no idea on Earth how we'd keep him as I expect he's going to get well-deserved offers to start for someone else regardless of how well he plays on Sunday. I'm gonna be pullin' for him though, so long as he doesn't end up in the NFC South.

Good! I changed my mind. Rest Drew as a statement to all that individual stats are not the goal - a ring is the thing!

Taysom Hill hasn't started a game yet as QB, has 64 yards passing.

I have $5 Drew gets his 8 yards against Carolina being utilized in one play like Hill has been for a shirt pass.

This is not a smart strategic move. With only 46 active players and trying to rest as many as possible, it's not a good idea to take a QB, run him for a series or two, then sit him. He's now occupying an active roster spot that won't play in the game again.

There's no reason for Brees to hit the field. Save that slot for another position so that someone else can get less reps.

add in the fact that the game in Carolina was very chippy, and this one could be much worse. I don't even #9 standing on the sidelines
