What’s Left At QB
 

After the dust settled from the weekend what options do we have left. Many of you have more insight into what’s going on locally than I do. As I look around, excluding what we currently have on our roster, I see draft someone, J. Winston, B. Mayfield, G. Minshew, And M. Ryan as possibilities. Not even sure if these guys would come to New Orleans, but all things being equal who would be the best fit. My guess is Atlanta would never trade us Ryan and Mayfield has never mentioned us nor have we showed any interest in him from what I’ve seen. That leaves Winston and Minshew. Any thoughts from you guys and did I miss someone?

I don't get the Minshew love. Winston has far more upside from what I have seen. Ryan wants a new deal with Atlanta and Atlanta wouldn't trade in division anyway. With Payton gone I don't see interest in Mayfield. I think it'll be Winston.

What don't you get? Be specific. Are they football reasons, or are you going to give us your "Jameis is already familiar with the playbook" rhetoric. At least you acknowledge Payton is gone. Still digging through his trash?

I don't believe the Falcons would ever trade Ryan to the Saints. i wouldn't want him either.

My bet is on Winston. Tremendous upside and if he is our starter this year I hope they take the shackles off.

Well, the issue with Winston is he has not signed. Either he really doesn't want to come back to the Saints, or the Saints offer was very low. Out of what is left out there, Minshew is a big upgrade over both Blake Bortles and Ian Book, and would be in interesting battle straight up against Hill.

Re: What’s Left At QB
 

Well With so many picks already and the inconsistent play of hurts I’m not sure Philly has any need or desire to trade Minshew. Not sure which of the two I would prefer but it’s looking more like Winston will be under center for at least this year, unless he’s sour about the Watson deal. Hopefully he’s will be a professional about it but who knows with these athletes nowadays.

Re: What’s Left At QB
 

As long as both parties are willing there is no reason to sign early. Why get locked into specific contract terms before acquiring complimentary pieces?

Re: What’s Left At QB
 

Can't say for sure, but I doubt that is it. The complimentary pieces need to be brought in regardless who the QB is. Then you have the issue of trying to sell free agents on coming to New Orleans with an unsettled QB situation.

DAFUQ!?!

Mishew has relatively same production (I didn't check stats).

Hasn't torn an ACL.

Minshew is likely to be cheaper.

We may not get Winston and even if we do, I can argue Minshew would be a better backup than anyone on our roster.
