As you repeatedly say, "The Fans have ZERO affect on any of this." Neither does Nick Underhill. So why would you distribute more and more Kool-Aid, laced with a hallucinogen? There is NO ARGUMENT about our coaches and coordinators. They have proven that they suck. PERIOD.

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

I think we can all agree that Andy Dalton isn't an answer. Or at least I hope we can.

Do we give Winston another shot coming in healthy?

Do we look do trade for someone like Carr? Lamar?

Do we take our new found draft picks and trade up and spend the wad on a rookie and throw him out there day one?

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

"We" don't do anything, but sit back and watch what happens (or more importantly) what doesn't happen.

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

Draft a QB like Purdy!

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

Stand our ground in the draft or only trade up a little not some disaster trey lance or rg3 type trade. Draft a qb to develoo and hope to find the next jackson, hurts, or purdy. Start Dalton or Watson or someone else cheap day 1. Give the young qb time to develop. We are not a carr away from a ring and giving jackson a megadeal would be bad long term, it would cost too many picks and too much guaranteed money and running qbs dont age well. Plus we dont have the cap for jackson without hanstringing our ability to keep out younger talent for years to come.

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

We’d avg 2 sacks per drive.

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

I think it somewhat depends on what comes from the eventual SP trade.

Will we have enough draft capital to acquire a potential franchise QB this year?

I'm not convinced that any current FA QB will fill the void for any significant amount of time.

Aside from that, do you make a play for Lance or Love?

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

I think therein lies the biggest problem. How do you ever know if that player will ever become a franchise QB?

I think I'd almost rather use our higher draft capital on players at other positions that have better chance of contributing fairly soon, find some decent bridge QB, and draft mid-round types and hope one pans out at QB. Problem is that might takes years to hit, but at least you be building at other positions along the way.

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

I think he played for the Giants for a few seasons.

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

Draft 2 or more QB's this year.

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

Did the scouts "miss" on their reporting of Purdy or is it Shanahan's/Niners system?

I like what I've seen from Brock, but have you noticed how the Niners can get more out of 2nd tier QBs over the years?

IMO Kyle Shanahan is arguably the top 1, or 2 signal caller in the game.

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

At the moment I wouldn't be crushed if the Saints were to try and accumulate more and better picks for future drafts while tanking the season.

Naturally I hope for success, but I feel like a rebuild is necessary for another championship.

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

It's really not that complicated. Yeah, in some cases it takes time to develop a QB, but in reality, either they have it or not. Much of the ability resides between the ears when reaching the professional level. Whiners may have lucked out with Purdy, or did they? Just like SP knew with Mahomes, proper evaluation could go a long way.

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

Is Carr still in play?

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

I love Carr's leadership and mettle, but his price tag scares the crap out of me.

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

Care will be on the block for sure. Might be able to get him for a 3rd

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

Carr ? With Pete Carmichael and co still running the offense :rolleyes:? ... Meh.

I'm in the minority here but I'd prefer to see what a HEALTHY JWinston could do. He's probably gone but the guy is still under contract for this year.

The Saints need to refocus on going young & try to find a stud on a cheap rookie deal and get out of the red with the cap.

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

Well, then I'm in the minority, too. I doubt we can bring in an elite free agent QB so whatever we do have is going to be a bridge, at least, until a draftee develops, so I am completely on board to see Winston handle things for the year. Who knows, he could surprise and be the long term answer. His price is right and he's already under contract.

Re: 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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. :bng:

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

C.J. Stroud
Hendon Hooker
Best Player Available

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

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

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

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.

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

At least he's better than Jameis with reads.

Purdy is looking "Purdy" good ! Looks way poised and unrattled, no matrer the pressure.

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

Agreed. Purdy played well. No mistakes. Good for him.

Glad I won't have to listen to the Dallas Superbowl nonsense on the airways any longer.

That Niners defense is legit though.

Cue Stephen A. Smith's Laughter...

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

What makes you think he reads slow? I believe he was one of the better QB's at not taking sacks. Combine that with 41 passing TDs and only 6 INTs and I'm not really sure how we jump to that conclusion.

I do like Purdy, but my gut tells me he's a game manager on a team that's QB friendly. Excellent running game. Excellent defense. Excellent play designs. Excellent WR's. Excellent TE. Excellent offensive line. Excellent head coach. It's almost plug and play in SF.

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

My mind says #12. My heart says give me my boy Lamar!

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

Purdy actually reminds me of Gardner Minshew.

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

I think the Ravens will place the franchise tag on LJ.

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

They better do something. If he hits free agency he's out of there. Somebody is going to back up the Brink's truck.
