Saints should give Taysom Hill a chance to see if he can get something going at quarterback

I just have a feeling it's going to be hard for any QB we throw in there right now. Perhaps Taysom will make it so receivers don't drop the ball by throwing it so hard that the ball becomes a part of their hands.

Don't forget about Trevor? Lol, what else are you expecting from a backup QB in Trevor? Over the last few weeks, he's been downright awful. 0 awareness, pocket presence & throwing pick-six putting us in holes. 0 -4 as a starter. BTW, Jameis has had "crap" to work with at WR since training camp.

It's Taysom time from here until the end of the year. If he is injured, I'd rather insert Ian Book. You are going no place with Trevor under center. Nothing more than a career backup.

This team needs a spark, not a game "manager".

I am failing to see which QB on our roster has not had a chance(s) to see if they can get something going.

We are 5 and 7...

Maybe this week Taysom can have some key pieces (Armstead, Ramczyk, Kamara) back to make the job on offense more reasonable.

I think this speaks volumes in the confidence, or lack thereof, that the Saints have in Ian Book at this time.

If the Saints have grown cold on Ian, they would cut him or waive him to try to get him onto the practice squad. There are limited (53) roster spots and the Saints can certainly use them all given the major influx of injuries.

One thought I have considered is that perhaps Payton has high confidence in Book, but does not want to add him into the QB controversy for this year or next by putting Book on the field now. Maybe he wants Taysom to have his shot at the starting gig (albeit in an injured state).

Regardless of you are are a Book supporter or a detractor, it is perplexing.

I simply think they don't feel he is anywhere near ready yet. I feel Taysom gives us the very best shot at winning at this point. I suspect Payton feels the same way.

I still think if Taysom can't throw the ball go to plan B.
Use Trevor behind center and keep the gadget man in the game to run the ball, block & short out passes.
If plan B doesn't work go to plan C ??

The Jets defense sucks. We can pull a Belichick and run the ball every down.

Just say no to Trevor man. I've seen enough.

My hope is that Ian continues to develop, work hard @ film study and on the practice field. At some point, I hope he progresses to a solid #2.

It's still Team Taysom time.

2022 ... different story.
