Sean Payton: I think we’re set at quarterback

If Taysom is our FT starting QB at the beginning of the season ...

The Saints are truly in trouble.

I'll let this play out at camp. Competition is always a good thing.

Precisely why we're not done yet at QB. There's no way our current third stringer makes the roster, practice squad or otherwise.

Damn, from the way he reacts to Winston, Im thinking Winston must have beat voodoo up and slept with his girlfriend on prom night!

meh, the Saints are a pretty well built team regardless of which of the two is under center. heck, I’m equally as worried about the effects of losing Kwon, Jenkins, and Brown, imho, Brown is one of the best run stopping interior linemen in the league, extremely underrated. I do feel Taysom is go go gadget guy though, and I would enjoy seeing what Winston could do start to finish in a month or two of games.

The one thing I hope doesn’t come to pass is QB by committee again, lol. I’m just not a fan of that.

Winston was never benched. Saying Winston was benched because he didn’t start is The same as saying a pitcher was relieved that never took the mound.

There is no alternate logic or gray area.

Fully understand, and agree, I said I wouldn’t make that argument of him being “benched” and explained why I wouldn’t.

Taysom did start while Winston rode the bench though.

It's not likely to disappear. Payton uses the versatility of TH7 to create personnel groupings that makes it tough for the defense to decipher especially when both Winston and TH7 are on the field at the same time. So, I would expect that seeing either and/or both in a game at the QB position will be regular business in 2021.

I agree with this SFIAH. This does hinge on and bring up the important question of who is QB3. The Hill package was run knowing There was another QB behind the starter (Brees) that could step in during an emergency like Winston did in the second half of the Niners game. Hill wasn’t used again in the utility role until Brees came back. So, basically Hill has to accept the utility role and another guy to backup Winston is needed. Semien is there now, maybe an upgrade can be obtained in draft or a later signing.

I can see us letting just the two of them battle it out in camp. My guess is it will be Winston under center next year. We'll see how he does now that he's had to work on his game and himself getting his eyes fixed and learning from the best.

I'd like to invest in a QB this draft though to learn the system and take over if Winston gets a long term deal then we've got two QB's and Taysom. Hopefully the draft pick is ready to compete next year and we have trade bait if we choose to go that direction.
