Whether it be lack of talent, lack of consistency, or lack of health, none have been able to capitalized on the opportunities afforded them. They have all been temporary starters. Its interesting how many people believe that RBs or WRs need reps to "get a rhythm", but also believe you can swap QBs like they are socks and have a successful team. Season/Game planning require a QB that can be healthy more often than not. |

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
I am glad they have finally decided, at least for this week. We can move on and create a gameplan that will work. Points have not been the biggest issue with Dalton at QB, even without starting receivers. Maybe one day, we can see how well he will do with a starting crew. We all know neither QB is the answer. It was Jameis Winston's job to lose and for now, he did just that.
The D has been the most egregious problem this year. Logic would say that by now they would be syncing, far from the case. The talent is there but the results aren't. |

Penalties & giveaways (int/fumbles) have been equally bad. The Saints are 2-5 for a reason. No energy & swag (Ceedy) is missing on defense for sure. Source - > https://www.footballdb.com/stats/turnovers.html |

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
This is what I am saying. Winston has yet to be given that opportunity to get into that rhythm while healthy with the Saints. I'm not saying he'll be the answer, but what if he surprises us with that opportunity? He's still young enough to start for ten years. There's no promise any QB coming out next year would be any better. Dalton is approaching the final leg of his career and definitely wouldn't be a long term answer.

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
No one outside of the facility knows the real severity of his injury but turf toe can sideline most athletes for MONTHS if not the season.
A good friend of ours (played at Georgia & later with the Giants) was telling us some horror stories about his TT. So many ligaments involved, so many moving parts, then boom it rears it's ugly head again. I'd be shocked to see Michael on the field anytime soon in 2022. |

If Thomas had anything more severe than grade two he would have been placed on IR. I'd be shocked if he doesn't return within the next couple of weeks. Dunnells is saying that he thinks Thomas may even return to practice this week. We'll see. It is still well within the timeframe for recovery. |
