I am no Luke McCown fan, but hearing the reports on Ryan Griffin and also seeing Chase Daniel likely gone from the Chiefs after not making much progress up there, anyone thinking that the Saints haven't been able to really develop these guys into anything worth keeping around?
Yes, I know about the rumor that some team (St Louis?) wanted Griffin last year, but so what? Is he worth the roster spot at this point?

We're in day 3 of training camp. Let's see how things play out. And if he doesn't get any better, oh well. There's a reason he was drafted late.

Wasn't he a UDFA? Pretty sure. I'm not saying cut the guy now; I'm just saying it's starting to sound like maybe there is no there there.

Yeah he was actually. And he was always likely a "no" so that's not too surprising.

Dunno. I don't put stock in that. They're giving him a chance just like they would give almost any of the guys a chance.
If Griffin starts the 4th preseason game, I think you know he's your #2 guy.

It's day three. Although, in your defense, some dude on here had Corey White cut as of yesterday

If he can beat out McCown, yeah.

You say that as if they're talented players that we're not "developing". They're late round/udfa prospects that we have to be the second string/practice squad qb. We're not trying to make them the future after Brees.

We thought highly enough of him last year to let him take a roster spot. I think it's the only time we've carried 3qbs under Payton. But hey, let's discount him after 3 training camp days.

From all accounts he's had a great offseason

Griffin turned plenty of heads in front of the fans assembled for their first look at the 2014 version of the team including a stretch in which he had four consecutive touchdown throws during a red zone drill.

Meh. Is it likely? No. Is it possible? Absolutely. He has the skill set, and the coaching staff thinks a lot of him.

Damn. Brees couldn't hit the broad side of a Jimmy John's.

I think his Super Bowl ring was weighing his hand down.
