I realize I'm a tad early with this topic, but in lieu of the bye week, just making conversation.
Brees is 34, we can say he has about 3 (or 4 more years if he has a computer chip surgically inserted into his neck) and facts are we need to start thinking about the future of this team and offense relatively soon. Two good young backups in the league now are Nick Foles and Kirk Cousins, both are great at throwing the ball and show pretty good pocket presence/decision making for young guys.

I know Foles will be a FA in 2016 - 3 years away, but I think we'll need to make a move before that considering VIck is 33 himself.

You guys think we take someone in the draft or go for an experienced player that's had marginal success?

Is Luke McCown the future?

Foles isn't going anywhere, Vick is old and gets injured every game. I say we draft our next QB in a couple of years

There's no way in hell Philly would let Foles go

If Brees can just hold on for another, say, 17 years, Baylen should be ready to take over.

I'm happy with Luke.
As to the future he could be on the practice squad.

We're just gonna draft Anthony Jennings after he wins the next 2 Heismans, right?

There are a couple of good QBs in the draft next year once you get passed Bridgewater, Hundley and Boyd. I'd like to spend a 2nd or third rounder on one and develop him behind Brees.

Just draft a QB that falls a bit in a couple of years.

Aaron Murray would be my choice and let him sit for 4 years and learn from Brees.
