8. New Orleans Saints: Ryan Griffin/Luke McCown
If the Saints could pick a backup, this situation would be higher on the list. Who wouldnāt want to backup Drew Brees in Sean Paytonās offense?
Brees rarely misses games. In fact, he hasnāt missed a game since 2009. Thatās an easy job for a backup. Stand around on the sidelines, say a couple words to Brees every once and a while, and pretend you care whatās going on in the game.
If for some reason Brees did end up hurt, the weapons the Saints have to work with would be a backup quarterbackās dream. Jimmy Graham, Marquise Colston, Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, and Lance Moore are as good of a receiving corps as there is in football. Iām pretty sure JaMarcus Russell couldnāt even mess up that offense. Throwing the ball around the yard would be no problem for anyone with half a brain and a good arm.
Plus, from what I hear, New Orleans is one of the coolest places to live in America. Itās a non-stop party. How did Matt Leinart not end up as the Saintsā backup quarterback?
