Did it? Taysom threw FOUR INTS in one of the losses out of 5. None of the QBs had to deal with this level of oline. Book def left some plays on the field, but I dont feel like either Taysom or Trevor are any truly better options. Taysom may have converted some first downs but I dont know if he could have won with this OLine who MISSED on every blitz pick up or damn near

My biggest criticism is not throwing the ball away and taking sacks. But also I read all along he is a running QB, and I saw no sign of that tonight.

Dude, I like Book. He didn't get a fair shake tonight. I'd like to see what he has and give him the nod the rest of the season.

Look I’m not a big fan of Taysom as quarterback but right now he’s your best option because of the threat he brings as a runner. Is he a better passer than book right now, absolutely, but he’s not the answer long term but this years playoff run is not long term it’s two more games and hopefully more. As I said on an earlier post I’ve been watching these guys since the late 70’s and went a long time without a playoff appearance much less a playoff win so I still appreciate just getting there. Any saints football I can get I will take. Just get there baby!!!

Joe Montana would have looked like Joe Mantegna tonight.

I'll wait for Coach Payton to watch the tape and give his real assessment on former 1st rounder Cesar Ruiz. I didn't even like him at center.

No sugar coating here but this guy is a trash can offensive lineman. He has no business starting on this line.

The NFL put the Saints in a terrible situation with this game with there BS Covid rules. Regardless of who was playing tonight any team with 21 players missing should have had opportunity to move game like Cleveland the week before. Don’t be surprised to see games moved this weekend. I don’t necessarily believe the NFL is against the Saints I just believe the NFL has elected to let the government make the decisions for the with these CoVid rules. If your are asymptomatic get out there and play.

Substitute Dallas/Packers/Patriots for the Saints tonight and the league would have postponed this game so fast it would have made your head spin!

I've actually thought Ruiz showed some real promise in the run game when the rest of the line was healthy. The last few games, especially in pass protection, he's REALLY struggled. I'm not ready to give up on him yet.

I'd leave Book in for the next two.
Wasn't fair on him tonight, he was far from perfect and definitely should have thrown the ball away a few times. But his arm looks better than Hill, he also looked far less hesitant to move that Hill often does when in the pocket.

End of the day the playoffs look done, Hill isn't the answer going forward,obviously Trevor isn't either. See what Book has with a proper line. Love Kwon in the team but again I'd be starting Werner. It's all about next year now

YEP! Look at the rest of the year as a jump on next year's preseason!

Then sit back and watch closely how the "ENTERTAINMENT" part of a "SPORTS / ENTERTAINMENT" shows it's self.
