He's a former Tech player therefore, by God! he MUST be a good NFL player too! He no longer plays for Tech and can affect any outcomes for Tech football. But if left in the #2 slot, it is possible he could affect the outcomes of a Saints' game or two, and I am not personally comfortable with that thought. Think of it this way, especially if you're a Saints' fan, what if McCown was who he is, but he played college ball somewhere else? What would your opinion be of his being #2 behind Brees? Or, if you're a Cowboys' fan would you like him backing up...Oh! never mind, Romo sucks too, bad example! And some of you are saying of his stint as the Jags starter, well, it was only a couple of games. Holy moly! he was SO BAD he got yanked and lost his starter's role! Run that thru your head (in a non-bias way) a few times. He lost the starter's position after a couple of games!!! Lowest QB rating in NFL history! This is NOT about his Tech connections, this is about his current role on a championship contending NFL team. Now, all that said, if Brees gets hurt, even dinged up and has to leave a game, and maybe sit out the next game as well, if McCown is the backup, I HOPE and PRAY he comes in and does a GREAT job! Then all of you can post at that time, see Dawg80, Luke did a great job as Brees' backup! If It comes to that, I'll be happy to eat that serving of crow, trust me.
