Year after year, fans of quarterback-needy teams around the NFL look at QBs on the chopping block and go “I can fix him.” For the first time since 2006, Mickey Loomis and the New Orleans Saints are in this position, as they look to replace a Hall of Fame arm in Drew Brees. There’s not shortage of players whose names have been mentioned to helm the offense for the black and gold next year, but history is not on the side of those who want a reclamation project at quarterback.
Some telltale signs a quarterback is a reclamation project are talking about how poor his coaching was at his last destination, saying he just needs a change of scenery, and mentioning his impressive arm talent but questionable decision-making.
