Let's take the Saints this year. More roadbumps than some of the interstates in the deep south, but they go, and predictably, do something asinine: They sign Jeff Blake.

Why? Are they a quarterback away from the Super Bowl? No. Is Jeff Blake good enough to will them to the Super Bowl? No. How old is Jeff Blake? He is 30. Do you think that the Saints would be best suited to break in a young quarterback and take his lumps with the rest of the team? Yes, but since when does logic apply to the Saint's organization?
