I also vividly remember what it was like before Drew Brees and regardless of how confident people are in our two possibilities, no one has said either is the next Drew Brees.

John Madden used to say "if you have two QBs, you do not have one"... In the NFL that has historically held true. Teams that start a season with a controversy and two QBs dont fair as well as college teams who do the same.

I would roll the dice and roll them hard

Saints seem to be all in on the QB by committee, they tried it with Drew and Taysom, to varying degrees of success. I’m not a fan, but I’m biased towards siding with Coach Madden. That being said, when Drew was out, either with Teddy or Taysom, the Saints performed exceptionally well. Both Winston and Taysom are, imho, better QB’s than Teddy Two Gloves. Question wrt Taysom is if he is just a gadget player..., Question wrt Winston is if he has learned how to manage a game. I’m good with testing either out for a year, instead of reaching, or going all in, on a college prospect, that might need years of development behind a veteran QB anyways.
