QB of the future?

to soon man.We have at least three more years before we worry about that.

I hope it is not Chase Daniels.

its still too early.. i say give it another 5 years before we even begin to groom a future qb under brees..

okay more like 2-3 years..

but i hear drew wants to play till he is 40? haha but lets say another 8-10 years before he retires.

i guess you could look at the eagles taking kolb so early when mcnabb was 30 or 31..

How realistically how long can you keep a good QB of starter quality on the practice squad or on the bench being groomed.

Is there an example of a QB that waited 5 years in a system to start and then became something after the incumbent retired?

matt flynn would be a good fit. just like brees. sort of.

Just stick with Purdue and get Elliot

You can never say its too early.

(Please god don't let this ever happen)
But what if Drew Brees goes down in the next couple games? Do you really think we will still be a super bowl team with Brunell?

The Saints don't need a QB of the future on the roster. What they need is a serviceable QB in case something happens to Drew Brees.

If that means drafting a QB in the mid rounds and developing him into someone who COULD start on a team someday (even if it's not the Saints) I would consider that to be a smart move. It pays to have a decent insurance policy on the roster, even if you don't use it.

I really do think it's time for the Saints to think about this. We can't have dinosaurs backing up Brees forever. We need someone we can make BETTER under Brees.
