A lot of things to think about after this game. Honestly, the score could have been much worse. The team did a decent job, given the circumstances. I think it's time to start thinking about the next QB. It's probably time to think about trading MT.

How does that benefit the Saints?

Taysom needs to have Lasik on his finger.

Taysom Hill is 31, Cam Newton is 32, Jameis Winston is 27.

A fair argument could be made that Cam Newton has a higher ceiling than Taysom Hill, being only 1 year older, dealing with a similar number of recent injuries and interceptions, playing with a similar poor cast of weapons in recent years, but showing more ability in the past to stay healthy and perform at a high level.

Those 4 picks could have quickly escalated to 6 last night. We really don't have much choice but to roll with TH now but by the end of this season, this whole "Taysom is your starter" needs to run its course and get him back to doing stuff he's very good at in 2022.

Taysom is EXCITING but he's not a starting NFL-caliber QB.

I'm super curious to see how the front office approaches this off-season.

Like I said when Trevor was playing, I don't feel like the loss is Taysom's fault. Yes he threw 4 ints. He had no protection at all and is more of a gunslinger mentality than Trevor so the 4 ints happened. I don't think it has anything to do with how good or bad he is. People saying we need to acquire a new QB really have no idea how our current QBs are. I've seen great things at times out of both Taysom and Trevor. When you have no receivers to catch the ball, no line to protect you, and no consistent running game... it's hard to expect the stat line of the QB to be good.

I think there is a lot of cause of optimism though. I think we have a high quality defense, which imo is one of the hardest things in the NFL to put together. We just kind of expect too much out of them and eventually they break. I think both Trevor and Taysom have the ability to be the QB of the future. When it comes to the draft, we need to draft WRs>O-line>TE. We have huge holes to fix, but they aren't holes that are necessarily hard to fix. Michael Thomas will probably be back next year and if we can put another WR on the field with him that is close in talent we will look good there. Then it comes to fixing the line and getting a TE that is worth a damn. We do these things and I think we can compete for a Super Bowl with either Trevor or Taysom(I prefer Trever but I think Taysom has it too). If you think we are going to just pick up someone like Russell Wilson or Jimmy G(LOL) with the current situation and somehow just start churning out victories, you don't understand football.

Lack of playmakers offensively.

Get better talent. Too many porch poodles, not enough dawgs.

Taysom Hill @ quarterback

Hill is a great player, he's okay-ish at QB and got unlucky at times last night. He did make some decent throws but this team in general is down and out.

They are outclassed every single game.

During the Brees era and the 7-9 seasons, those seasons obviously sucked but they had exciting aspects to them, such as Brees making incredible plays or the emergence of a star like Colston, Moore or Chris Ivory etc
This season, I don't see any bright spot other than a high draft pick.
They just get put in their place every week and I for one am glad I'm only following text updates and not paying to watch it lol
