Palko As A Project

Filed under: Alumni,Football,Good,NFL — Chas @ 9:54 am

Not a lot about how Palko is doing with the Saints, but little tidbits here and there suggest Tyler Palko will be given every chance to develop and succeed.

For what it’s worth: Saints coach Sean Payton loves un-drafted quarterback Tyler Palko, who was inconsistent at Pitt and. at 6-1, lacks ideal height — but so does starter Drew Brees. The coach likes the rookie’s football IQ and passion for the game.

There’s always the risk he will be cut, but there aren’t many other bodies at the QB spot and there doesn’t appear to be any other additions right now.

There’s a steady dropoff from starting quarterback Drew Brees to the passers who sit behind him on the depth chart. Jamie Martin is Brees’ backup, but is in the last year of his contract, with Jason Fife and Tyler Palko also on the roster.

But Payton doesn’t plan on bringing anyone else in to camp.

It will take time, but it seems that Sean Payton is really planning to see if he can make Palko his latest Tony Romo.
