Loomis get Drew done quick!

Before last night, McCown was the competent veteran backup who 'almost beat a great Carolina team'. Not to suggest he'd be anything more than a stopgap answer for the future anyway.

Grayson is, of course, only a second year guy who has seen very little pro action. How can anybody possibly know for certain what the future holds for him yet, coaches included?

And let's not forget, Brees was pretty pedestrian his first couple of years as the starter in San Diego.

I hope, like pretty much any other Saints fan, that a deal gets done with Brees soon. I want to see him finish his career here. But even so, our instant-gratification society could stand to pump the brakes a little and give things some time.
