Based on CSP comments to reporters over the last couple of weeks, Ian has a long way to go. I definitely wouldn't throw a rookie QB to face teams like the Bills, Dallas, Tampa & Panthers 2.0.

Apparently, Saints coaches see something (or lack thereof) at practice that is preventing him from "starter" consideration.

He's simply not ready.

Yeah. Plus a dude with 0 NFL starts, behind a patchwork OL with 0 weapons to speak of...I feel like starting him now will destroy his confidence (along with his body).

I'm good with grooming him to be a possible starter in future years however, loved him in college. I just don't want to see him get ruined right now!

DEFENSE HAS TO STEP IT UP. PERIOD.

It’s hard to step it up when you’re on the field for almost 40 minutes. The lack of offensive drives are causing the defense to fizzle out early. Plus, you can’t even make in game adjustments on defense cause you have to go back out after a 3 and out. Some guys prolly aren’t even getting Gatorade because of the lack of sustained offensive drives, let alone a breather.

You are absolutely correct. Still, DEFENSE HAS TO STEP IT UP.

After watching the press conference today seems like Trevor Siemian going to start. God I hope there is a bunch of Taysom Hill plays this game.The O needs some type of spark.

The injury list is almost unbearable to look at.

But he's still here

We really could use Gardner this game - it's got his name written all over it...

Comfortable knowing Marshon would have no trouble locking down Diggs, but those heavy nickel/safety matchups on their slot and tight ends could be trouble...

Maybe DeMario, Werner, and Kwon can lock down the TEs; Malcolm Jenkins was getting used like a toy by Goedert last week...

And our DEs are gonna be exhausted in we fall behind early with our rotational depth out on injury...

AK definitely seems like a long shot to play on tomorrow.
