Who is your Saints QB for 2022? They are still teeing it up in September.

Having MT back changes a lot of things. I'd go into camp with all 3 QBs competing for the role on equal footing and whoever comes out gets it. No one has really shown anything yet worthy of committing to. I've seen good moments from all of the QBs and bad moments as well. Having a consistent receiver will change how they all approach the offense.

Who would YOU like to see as your starter for 2022 at QB?

Not asking for 3 QB's. Let's elimnate Ian Book because he's years away & it's highly unlikely the Saints resign Trevor Semian.

I think Taysom would be the guy I'd go with because I think he has the higher upside and if he fails we'll just have a great draft spot.

What 3 QBs do you mean hitta? Book, Hill, and Bortles?

We're living in an age where it's going to be hard to win a Superbowl without a guy leading your team that is at the very least incredibly proficient. I think Jameis would have been ok 10 years ago, but not now. What stands out to me is the Titans-Bengals game. You have an above average but not great QB on one side and a young prodigy on the otherside who is fearless. The Titans were the best team all year long. You had a close game. Titans have a chance to go down and win the game, Tannehill throws a pick(though you could argue it wasn't his fault). A QB inspires his team though. Burrow made both the offense and defense better for the Bengals just by being who he was. He gets the ball and does what Tannehill couldn't... throws a great sideline pass. Kicker kicks the FG and they go on to the AFC title game. A team that shouldn't even be competitive on paper beats the either the best or second best team in the league on paper. I don't think we can win a Super Bowl anymore with just having a decent QB and a strong defense. You don't even have to have a great offense tbh, but you have to have that guy that every knows they can rely on when the time is ripe. I don't feel like Winston is that. I really really really want Bryce Young. I think the guy is another one of those prodigies coming up... a guy I think will be a better version of Russell Wilson. We need to get our hands on a guy like that somehow otherwise we are going to be stuck going 9-8, 8-9, 10-7, 7-10 for a long time and are going to struggle to win any playoff games we get. This years draft isn't that impressive at the QB position imo. I think we should start accumulating draft stock.

Good points. I’d agree having a young stud QB like the guys you mentioned would be great, but they aren’t available right now. Winston is. Winning a SB might be a long shot for a while. Winning our division next year would be a
good start though. I think they could do that with Winston.

Let’s look at another recent QB in the news with Kyler Murray. He’s having some kind of issues with the Cards. He may be available. Would he be better than Winston? IDK. Murray may more physical upside. Winston at this point seems to have more maturity and a better attitude.

I'm actually looking forward to Doug Marrone coming in to work with the O-line. And with Donny Dalrymple out the door hopefully positive changes have come.

Ramczyk has to be named an All-Pro at LT and he’ll get $1 million extra. It’s not like the contract says just play LT and you’ll get $5 mil/yr extra. I think he stays at RT and we draft a LT.

I know some will cringe when I say this, but don't rule out a healthy Peat sliding over to LT if necessary.

Tumbleweed Peat has SLOW feet and non athletic for tackle.

He’d get a QB killed.

Dougie M will confirm that later at training camp.
