1st round Backup QB vs 4th round #3 QB

Not defending Book's play on the field, just trying to bring a little perspective.

You haven’t mentioned Books fumbles.

And Love is playing with the starters

Idc about Love's stats. You can throw out all the stats you want from other players, doesn't matter. Book is on OUR team , and if you even think he can win a game for us right now, I'm sorry.

Love didn’t look great…but I’m not sure how that builds up Book. I actually watched the game…can’t pull the wool over my eyes. If the Saints wanted a guy who can hand the ball off, run for their life, fumble, and throw the ball to the other team…just pull someone out of the Superdome stands if they need an emergency #3 QB. No need to waste a valuable roster spot.

I didn’t see the OP’s post as an attempt to defend Book but more to show how unpredictable the draft can be. I was unimpressed with Love’s play against us but also surprised that he hasn’t been playing much better than our struggling, fourth rounder and #4 QB option.

If I'm making $50,000+ to go out there, I'll gladly let 300lb+ men fall on top of me for four quarters. Hell, I'd do it for $10,000.

I know people who would PAY THE SAINTS for that honor!

Yeah I would. The future money I can make writing a book and having a movie made out of my experience…..sign me up.

My honest opinion, Love will not be a viable option at QB for GB. He just doesn’t have it. Mark my words. This is not like the Farve/Rodgers situation. Sure Farve held on for a while, but the Packers knew they had a stud waiting. The same can’t be said for Love.

Yep. Done before and quite successfully. Time for a reboot and you're just the guy to do it. (Bet this was exactly what you ere refering to.)

I think I agree with this assessment.

It almost feels like the pick was made, in part, to leverage the contract negotiations with Rodgers. Although I suspect that backfired, given what Love has shown to date.

I'd play one game for free unlimited Dome Beer for the season. That's probably about $10K, but I want beer in the 4th quarter included and an Uber ride home.
