Shout out, no wait TRIPLE shout to Cam Jordan.

Not only this season but his ENTIRE body of work speaks for itself.

IMO this guy will walk into Canton first ballot

Nice game, still a lot of issues to sort out for 2023, but we shall celebrate this win and hope to win another against the Panthers next week!

One thing that stood out to me was Gardner Minshew. IMO, he did not look like the same guy from a couple years ago when he played for Jacksonville. His velocity and accuracy was very inconsistent throughout the game. I bring this up because I know he is a possible candidate to join the Saints next year, may want to rethink this one.

I was looking forward to see Gardner Minshew play football as I have not seen him recently. I know there were a lot of folks on here who wanted to bring him on board next year. I'm just curious if they still feel that way after watching the game.

Dalton is our backup next season. We need a starting QB.

Is he? Winston is signed through next season. Do the Saints drop him or re-sign Dalton. Do they have both next year?

1. Having Lattimore on the field is huge. Too bad he missed so much time this year.
2. Dalton is basically Matt Ryan with red hair. He makes some plays, but the INT and 2 of the sacks were all on him.
3. Saints have 2 great young WRs. Plus J Johnson.
4. Special teams did well. Good punts penning them deep. Hit the FGs and XPs.
5. T Hill is a player
6. Need help/depth at RB.
7. I may have overestimated Minshew.

Didn't watch the game so I can't really say. Jimmy G is probably the best option if we're not doing a rebuild but will probably cost the most. Minshew, Dalton, and Winston are just place fillers if we go the rebuild route. Honestly, it really doesn't matter who it is for the latter. Winston is under contract so it'll probably be him.

Jimmy G missed 23 games the past three years. He's the perfect QB for CGM!

Another option at QB is you keep your 2024 1st round pick, draft a qb this year in the 2nd or 3rd round, and if that qb does not pan out, suddenly the 2024 pick is very high in the 1st round. Meanwhile if they do pan out, they are much younger, cheaper, less injured, and more upside than garappalo or minshew etc.

That being said, who were the bright spots this year? Who has developed or surprised. I really haven’t had the time to keep up. I know Olave is a beast, any surprises?

Sounds like a dream come true to me. I’m in a town of less than 7000 and can’t wait to get further out. Lol
