There are none. It isn't something that you can plan on. We went almost 40 years before Brees without a franchise quarterback. The closest we had was Manning and Hebert, and it's debatable how much of franchise qb's they were. One way or the other we are going to have to luck into one either through the draft or free agency. If we are super lucky then Grayson maybe develops into that, but there is no telling at this point. All the more reason to put something together while we have Brees and why it's such a shame that we have wasted the last few years with mediocrity. A franchise qb is maybe the most difficult thing to replace in all of sports.

Oakland, tennessee, and Jacksonville took a decade to find their guy.

Cleveland still don't have theirs so feel the 20th century.

Philly hasn't found stability since McNabb

Tampa finally got Winston.

Buffalo, NY, ans Miami are still pondering.

Minny are still on the fence as well

Could take a decade to find a suitable qb...

The 49ers did it so it does happen...almost never, but it happens.

QFT.

Look around the NFL.

How many legit, franchise, first ballot HOF'ers do you see out there?

Without Brees the Saints don't win 3 games last year.

They get the most $'s b/c they are game changers.
