New Orleans Saints salary cap situation heading into 2021

The way that Buffalo was able to eventually bring Josh Allen along and turn him into a reliable passer is the blueprint to follow. Not sure if Taysom has that in him. But at 16 million per year, might as well take the chance.

Difference is Taysom will be 31 at the start of next year and on a full contract. Allen is on a rookie deal and 25 at the start of 2021.

Add to that Allen doesn't have a injury history and he threw more passes by the age of 21 than Hill has to date.

My thoughts. And to the people thinking Taysom restructures after 1 year that’s not happening. I’m fine with Taysom next year and drafting a QB. I have my doubts Taysom will stay healthy the full season though

Josh Allen has arm talent equivalent to Patrick Mahomes. Taysom Hill isn’t anywhere in that stratosphere. Jameis Winston is more in that category with Mahomes and Allen as far as pure arm talent.

Taysom has a better arm than you're giving him credit; as said in other thread, 43 yo Tom Brady just took Jameis' team, beat the Saints in the Dome after being swept twice in the regular season...

We've watch Jameis' game for five-plus seasons; his character flaws show up on the field in his game...

Everyone is judging Taysom against Brees after just four games; it's gonna take a full season and some patience to make the transition...

Can see the Saints staying with Winston (if they can afford him), but don't expect him to suddenly play any better than he did in Tampa...
