What should the Saints’ plan be to upgrade at QB?

Daniel jones would be my first pick. Then probably Jimmy G. Maybe max jones, white or rod gets could be up for trade. Any of the above would be a huge upgrade.

Trade Thomas and use the pick along with the pick for Payton and trade up to get Bruce Young!

I think the current coaching staff has lost faith in Winston or we would have seen more of him this season. Dalton is at best, serviceable. He's past his prime. Not sure how I feel about Carr and he might cost too much. Jimmy G for the right price.

Just my 2cents. Discussion is why this board exists.

I think Brian Daboll has gotten all he can out of Jones.

Don’t see much of an upgrade, not to mention he’s a turnover machine.

Can an argument be made that the 2024 QB class is far better than the 2023 class?

Can you really tell until they actually play in the NFL? That's what makes it so difficult. How much do you gamble on that position while passing on other positions that may be more predictable.

Maybe... All this focus on RPO QBs leaves little nuggets like Purdy available. That means one needn't gamble a #1, but do proper due diligence. Surely if SF can get it with Mr Irrelevant , so can the Saints. History is rife with real good QBs not taken in the first round. SP was in control previously and made the wrong calls on QBs not named Brees and Mahomes. Maybe Jeff Ireland and DA get an opportunity in 2023 for a similar nugget as Purdy.

Not convinced Stroud can read fast enough at the next level . We have one of them already.

Seeing Dalton's single reads and throw away I can agree to that. Not sure about Stroud, though. Really haven't seen him play at all.
