Well, apparently the Saints signed themselves a backup quarterback yesterday, reportedly agreeing to terms with Mark Brunell. And you have to figure that everybody’s favorite Mozart-lovin’ third stringer probably woke up this morning entweder sehr glücklich oder sehr angepisst.

That’s Brunell on the right, by the way. That last year in DC messed him up pretty good. Then again, a year in DC tends to do that to a lot of guys.

Oh sure, we could spend the next several paragraphs analyzing all the pros and cons of what Brunell brings to the Saints, and how he compares to Jamie Martin. But let’s not bore the shit out of ourselves, m’kay?

He’s seven months younger than Martin, is roughly the same height and weight, and just like Martin, he completed zero passes for zero yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions last year. Brunell is slightly more of a threat to beat you with his feet, having rushed for 3 more yards last year than Martin’s -3. So he’s got that going for him. Which is nice.
