Don't know about the rest of you, but a little concerned the Saints FO arbitrarily disqualified all the reserve QBs from last season not named Book...

Was the Jameis camp feeling threatened?

I didn't like any of 'em 'cept for Hill, and I can't speak intelligently about Book

LOL. I’m not a Book guy really. Nothing against him but I have my doubts. He maybe could play in the right system with the right players. I would
not hitch my wagon to him.

My thoughts when I started the thread was more of a look at how people felt about him and the other QB draft picks that Payton made that did not pan out. Not a good track record but, but he didn’t need one with Drew
at the helm. At least none of them were first or second rounders that busted.

The book is still out on Ian Book ... If not Book as backup, who then. Certainly not Trevor S. . Is Matt Flynn still available?

I'm fine with him as the #2 because we drafted him if for no other reason. Lots of guys gel with opportunity, so either give him the opportunity or cut bait is my take on it.

So Joe Montana sucked?



It's a wee bit premature to close the book on Ian Book, neaux?

Joe Montana’s career ended when I was four years old. In my lifetime I haven’t see a successful ND QB.

Trevor sucks... and Bears signed him. Still can't believe we signed him for two years. He got lucky for one game and failed miserably in the others. He talks a good game... just can't translate it to the field. Surely Ian Book can't suck worse. Anything is possible, I suppose. Just how did Montana, Theisman, Hornung do in their very first outing as NFL QBs? None of those guys had the scab players the Saints had in that one game in Miami with the Covid rules RG laid on us ... which RG lifted the very next day right before the game, the putz RG is.

Yep. Them too. I don’t trust Bryce Young either.

I emigrated from Paris, France in 1978... when I knew NOTHING about football. So I knew nothing about past greats. But I grew to learn, know and then love the game, even past greats. It's fun watching the ones that blazed the trails... players like Gale Sayers, Walter Peyton, and many, many more.

I never knew you were French. You visit Paris often? My mom wants to go because as you know, everybody has French lineage down here. Lol.

Used to... last there about three years ago to visit my Dad in Paris. As it turns out the last time I saw him alive, as he passed last May at the age of 90.

I took all but one of my grandkids there for a trip just so they'd be a bit more cultured about the world.

As it turns out the French have no specific DNA ancestry, according to Harvard Geno project 1.0 and 2.0. We're all mutts decending primarily from Germanic and nordic origins. Crazy if true.

90 years of age? Great life. Sorry for your loss Smash.

I'm sure that the Euro trip was memorable for everyone.

Thanks for the share :bng:

Indeed sorry Smash. I was lucky enough to be visiting my dad down in Austin for his 89th two weeks ago.

As for BooK…He played for the Irish…who have had historically Big games against the USC Trojans….and the Trojans fought the Greeks…and The Spartans are at Michigan state….that’s about all I got.

Wife and I spent about two weeks in France around 20 years ago. A man that my dad worked with for years owned a flat in Beziers. We stayed there and ventured the south in a rental car for eight days and then took a train up to Paris and stayed there for five days. The people down south were extremely friendly when they discovered we weren't British. LOL! The Parisians, not so much.

Just watched a video with Ross Jackson. He pointed out that Simeon’s signing with another team would help us with getting a comp pick in next years draft. Right now, we’ve signed May and lost Armstead, so it’s a wash. We could get an extra third if his contract is big enough.

Let's finish reading the Book before we decide if we like the ending or not. Who Knows? There might be a nice sub plot twist in there before we finish reading the Book.
