On a different note- do we have an extra pt QB on the roster?

Now that the kicks have been moved back to the 15, things are going to be interesting in cold weather games (not that the Saints have to worry about this). I wonder if Tebow, in Philly, will be the main XP option the second half of the season. And Cam certainly would be dangerous in that spot.
Which leads to this question- lets say we're playing the Panthers, and we're trading TDs- but they go for 2 with Cam. Or, on the road at the Eagles, and Tebow is punching it in for 2. Do we have anyone on roster who could run a Wildcat or similar, in the event we have to keep pace? Someone with even a hint of an arm, maybe played QB in college some?

Why would we want to do this when we have Brees?

Tebow/cam? Taking the ball away from Brees?

I see what you are trying to say. Itll be interesting to see how it plays out.

No. You don't take the ball away from Brees.

There's this archery video you should watch. Would answer all your questions pronto.
Don't get to use the word "pronto" often and its a awesome word. Thanks Scoob

That's what backup qbs are for. If it's an obvious 2 pt attempt drew is in the game.

To all those who say "keep Brees in there", consider this- true goal-line plays are very different than the regular offense. The Saints have had an awful time just blasting away on the ground (Ingram's been stuffed a lot, but don't forget that even going back to the Super Bowl season, we've been stuffed a lot). A Brees pass will have to be a quick hitter; and really, I'd rather see Brees in the gun with a bunch of receivers crossing than a tight formation.
But- a horse like Tebow gives you, for lack of a better term, options. Like running the option, while still having a semblance of a pass or handoff (or a straight keeper).
I know, sounds ridiculous, and the Saints in the dome don't really need a "specialist". But a team like the Eagles just might, and honestly, I could see the value of a Tebow just for that, especially come November and later. He'd be a real bitch to stop, and the conditions might make a kick less than 100%. If you both score 4 TDs, and they get 3/4 2pt conversions, it's 30-28. Wind and sleet/snow might make you miss a few kicks, and suddenly, you're not tied despite equal TDs, you're behind.
Hell, I saw Tampa miss a kick this week in good conditions. That's no longer a gimme kick, if you pull it, you miss now.
