Hot take: Our team is the biggest question mark in the league.
 
When I look a the ranges of results that I can realistically seeing us ending up in, it's pretty large. I can see us losing more than 10 games, I can see us winning the Super Bowl. The QB situation makes us a huge question mark. While I think we are more likely to win the Super Bowl than lose 10 games, I just see potentials.

It is indeed an season of potential for success or failure.

If it does turn out to be a bad season, which I'm not really counting on and for the most part trust our QBs, I hope we draft in a good position to pick up a QB for the future to kind of close the door on the issue. It's been an issue we've been worried about for a while... "what will we do after Brees". We may have already solved it, but if we haven't then we have to fix it by next year. We have a ton of options we can aim for. The roster is too good to let waste away with no QB.

Let's turn that question mark into an exclamation mark.

I think the Team will be more stable than you think, but your right the outcome of the QB play is a huge question mark. One way or the other it will be an interesting season.

We have a ton of questions about our team but preseason showed that we are deeper than we thought at most positins....except for WR.

Wait ... no confidence in Harris, Taysom, Juwan and Trautman?

To me only questions are staying healthy and Winston.

I believe Winston can be a good QB if he plays smarter, however, starting the season without 2 starters at WR doesn't exactly make me feel like he's set up for success.

It only takes a mis-step by a WR with limited game time, and Winston starts notching turnovers again.

What I mean is, if an inexperienced WR runs the wrong routes or is not on the same page as Winston, he could start throwing interceptions again, ones that aren't his fault but a turnover nonetheless

This is true, but I doubt it would become an epidemic. I seriously doubt it would become a habit. That's where coaching and practice come into play.

I'm banking on Winstons Lasik surgery to improve his reads and throws. He'll be hitting our Receivers just like shooting fish in a barrel.

Jameis has a much better offensive line in New Orleans than he did in Tampa Bay

I'm not actually questioning stability, I'm just putting a range on where we can end up. We can go in every week looking exactly the same and kick ass or lose with the same exact performance. I think the QBs will work out and hence I think we are going to be fine, which is what you are hinting at. There are just a lot of unknowns though. As a hypothetical, what if Winston throws another 30 INTs. Most of us here are going to say, nah he's not going to do that. He's done it before though and TB didn't exactly have a horrible roster. I think he's improved and been coached up. The only point I'm trying to make is that there is a wide range of possibilities on this season.

After this game today, we look good. Winston played well, made good decisions and took care of the ball. Defense was terrific.

When the hell did we sign Lattimore to an extension? Today?

Absolutely! And it will probably open up additional cap.

It showed. For the most part, JW had solid protection ALL DAY.

Saints O line/coach Brendan Nugent getting done in the trenches.

I’m hopeful Mckoy will be OK.

Your thoughts on Adam Trautman? He's a very good blocker but his hands were suspect. He gotta put in work with the jugs machine today :p.

Thoughts on Adam Trautman.....I'd start Juwan Johnson instead.

Guy made 2 pretty difficult TD catches, Jameis made the 2nd one way harder than it needed to be, Johnson made a great catch.

IMO Trautman will be fine. He's recovering from injury & hadn't had a whole lot of time to get reps with JW. Remember Adam T was 15 of 16 last season and a TD. I saw more rust than anything.

Juwan made the most of his height. Good showing.

Keep grinding.

For McKoy a lower leg injury which could mean just about anything but Cesar Ruiz did a great job stepping in.
But what I really liked was Jameis understanding that Eric is going out of the game immediately grabbed the ball and gave Ruiz and few snaps.
