Per NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora. Wow. What a perfect fit. At this stage in his career he would be perfect as Brees's backup. Plus he's a cajun Louisiana Boy. Hope this works out.
I'm sure he and his agent are looking for a starting gig....but he likes New Orleans and if he's going to back anyone up....it'd be Drew Brees, IMO. I wouldn't blame him at all if he ended up somewhere like Cleveland where he could start, but I'd like to see him back up Drew Brees at a reasonable price.
Count me in the minority here. Such a shame to see a local guy turn into such a tool. I don't want his whining, crying, interception-throwing ass anywhere near the black and gold uniform.
Oh come on guys, I think that y'all are exaggerating just a bit. Jake is a good guy and would be a good backup. If you would rather have Mark Brunell as your backup then you are both nuttier than squirrel shiit.:grin:
I'm not exaggerating in the least. Ever since he arrived at Carolina, he whines at the refs every single time he gets bumped. He's worse than Vlade Divac. I saw far too many passes just "thrown up" and the talent of Steve Smith and Mushin Muhammad brought them down. Almost every Carolina fan I know will agree with that assessment, but they didn't care because Steve Smith and Mushin Muhammad kept bringing the down. (Kinda like no Saints fan really cares that the interior D-Line is porous because the Saints won a Superbowl.) That **** catches up with you eventually and it finally did with Jake. I'm sure he's a wonderful person. He seems like his parents did s fine job raising him. His coach reportedly teared up when he was cut, so I imagine the locker room hurt pretty badly when he was let go. I was upset when the Saints let him explore the free agent market instead of locking him down for a couple years because everyone knew that Aaron Brooks was going to fall apart eventually. Haslett didn't want AB looking over his shoulder at Jake, though. His talent is questionable though and the on-field whining is bull****. Just shut up and play. Somewhere else...
Nah I don't like Brunell either and think the Saints ahould get a qb in this draft class preferably a late rd or undrafted FA that if they dont pan out doesn't hurt you. Still don't get why they didn't let Chase Daniels get any action against Carolina in the last game some reason just sent me negative feeling about him. I wouldn't mind them drafting Armanti Edwards because even if he doesn't become a qb I think he has the potential and talent to become a great WR and wouldn't mind him in a Saints uniform.
