Did we forget, WhoDats, that we are 8-1 with our backup QBs the past two years?

Yeah but that team also had Rankins,Hendrickson,JackRabbit etc

As it stands right now

WR 2 Tre'Quan Smith
CB 2 Patrick Robinson

Then look at the 3rd string LB,DE and DT

This isn't the roster of the past 3 or 4 years.
Plenty of time to add some pieces but its not like there is a big pit of money to do it with.

BS. Your attitude and statements towards him make it clear you do not want him to succeed.

It's just his opinion. JW has to prove it. I'm not a believer in him right now either. The guy is an interception machine and doesn't seem very intelligent.

Why would he not want him to succeed?

I'll tell you this, I've never been a fan of the guy. Ever. Big deal.

But if he comes in and tears it up, I'll eat crow. But imo, if the front office saw something more in him, he'd have a bigger contract. Not a 1 year prove it deal.

Just my 2 cents.

Yep JW is a turnover machine last season ... Throwing the ball ... Taysom is fumbling machine ... Which one wins out?

Re: Saints have a surprisingly low projected 2021 win total

It all depends on the draft. We have enough picks to improve the team, they need to be used wisely.

Good draft- 11-6
Average or poor draft- 6-11

Surprisingly, our defense is the biggest concern.

I have no problem with doubting Winston. I doubt him too. But VD has gone way overboard in his criticism IMO. He’s exaggerated Winston’s turnovers, falsely claimed he was benched for Hill, makes hyperbolic statements about going undefeated and ignores any valid statistical observation about his performance when compared to other QBs. Doubting is one thing, blindly repeating “he sucks” with no other input is a personal grudge.

What scares me even more than not having Drew Brees behind center is the significant chances of having to start the season with Patrick Robinson and PJ Williams as the starting CB's.

Casey Hayward
Richard Sherman
A.J. Bouye

Three viable, veteran options at CB still available because of their age. They’re all around the same age as Jackrabbit.

Gareon Conley is still available seeing how Payton loves Ohio State DB’s. Dre Kirkpatrick and Artie Burns as well.

There are options. I’m positive we sign one of these guys and draft a cornerback in the draft.

Also...don’t discount Kwon Alexander returning on a 1 year, prove it deal following his injury to fill the whole at LB.
