With McCown, Griffin and Grayson...

Do we end up trading one of these guys due to the fact that so many teams need a decent starting QB in the league right now?

None of those guys are starters at the moment

At this point i think McCown is the odd man out, griffin looked much improved and we definitely saw flashes of the potential that payton saw in Grayson when he drafted him. I think we are set if these guys develop to their full potential especially with grayson since he seems to bring mobility to the table also.

We cut McCown because there is no reason to keep him.
If Drew goes down, the best case scenario is one of the young guys shows themselves a capable starter, for post Drew or trade purposes.

In regards to the QBs, the overreaction to one preseason game is real on here today. I'm willing to put out a month ban bet, to anyone willing to accept, that McCown makes the 53. I gave my reasons in the Grayson thread, but here's why I think that:
I'm not saying it's impossible that Griffin makes it over McCown, but he would have to blow him away the rest of camp/preseason.
quote:
1. It's ONE preseason game, let's slow our roll.
2. McCown faced Baltimore's 1st string, while Griffin and Grayson faced 2nd-4th stringers.
3. Payton will elect to keep McCown as the 2nd QB for his veteran presence and experience, if nothing else. While Griffin is entering his 3rd year, he's still pretty raw. It makes more sense to keep a vet back up, and a young project, rather than keeping two young projects as your backups.

I think McCown will make it and Griffin will be the odd man out. It's a shame, but that's the way it goes. McCown does nothing to help the organization going forward.

Grayson isn't going anywhere. I think Griffin is the odd man out. I think CSP and Brees trust McCown's experience and ability to help Brees on the sideline. Also, Griffin can still be put on the practice squad where McCown can not. You can take a chance of keeping all four around if RG4 clears waivers.
I'm not sure how much trade value RG4 or McCown has right now. Neither are proven starters and teams know that we will have to cut one of them, so why not just wait for them on the waiver wire? If anything, you may get a 6th round pick from the Rams or Jets or maybe a guy like Chris Givens.

I'd imagine that we'll see Griffin get the snaps ahead of McCown in the next game to compare against McCown's last night......That's where the real battle is, McCown vs Griffin for the #2 spot because Grayson isn't waived because he'd get claimed off waivers before making it to the practice squad........And as far as TS mention of a trade, neither McCown nor Griffin have any trade value

McCown missed some wide open receivers. Hitting a wide open receiver has nothing to do with what string defense is in. You have to make those throws. His decision making also looked slow compared to Griffin and Grayson.

We will have Brees, McCown, and Griffin on the roster. Grayson will be IR'd. This is the most likely scenario.

Agreed..
Griffin looks like a viable backup.
Trade McClown for anything. I would be happy with a 7th round pick.

I don't think you'd get more than a snickers bar for him.

We MIGHT be able to get a 7th for Griffin.

Why would a team trade when the Saints aren't keeping 4 QBs?
Grayson would come in over Griffin, he's the QB of the future. McCown isn't going anyway, why do you think he was named offensive captain last night with Brees out?
You just cant IR somebody, you actually have to have an injury and be cleared by a medical doctor to go on the IR. That's not happening.

Maybe he'll pull his groin from all the action he's getting with the ladies.
