New Orleans Saints quarterback Luke McCown, contrary to popular belief, is not the front-runner to hold the clipboard while Drew Brees continues proving his greatness. There is nothing that occurred in Thursday night's game that would prove second-year signal caller Garrett Grayson is in an uphill battle to take over the reins as Drew's backup.
