Saints QB Drew Brees to have surgery to repair torn ligament in thumb, expected to miss 6 weeks

If Dr. Shin says it'll be 6 weeks, it will most probably be 6 weeks. He uses newer techniques to reinforce the ligament. Guys get back much quicker.

If we don't let Hill play IMO the season is over. We have to win at least 3 of the next 6 too have s shot and after yesterday I don't see that happening with unready teddy at the helm.

Teddy will have a full week of planning, preparation and film study with the 1's.

I know Taysom is a "fan favorite" but Sean isn't starting him at the QB position. Teddy will be that guy. He has been coached & has practiced to be the #2 for over a year now.

Taysom simply isn't ready to be a full time QB. Not the popular opinion but it's the truth.

How is that the “truth”? What logically brings you to that conclusion (truth=\= opinion).

Sean P has made it clear since he re signed in NO & subsequent camp, he will give Teddy every opportunity to succeed at QB. Not my words but his. Not an opinion.

Payton (go back and listen at his post Rams game report) has shown he will play the guys he thinks earned it and will help the team. When you see less of Taysom on special teams, WR etc, then we can come to the conclusion they are ready to give him a shot exclusively at QB.

Until then, Taysom is still your gadget/swiss army knife guy.

Can we play Kiko? Anzalone is looking real Shakey so far this year

Kiko actually came in briefly for Klein (injury) on yesterday.

I think he got 2 snaps.

This is the very first time I’ve felt like we should’ve taken Lamar Jackson when we traded up for Davenport.

I get you, however I think that's heavily based on the short term success of Jackson and the fact that Davenport is a non factor at the minute.

I think Jackson will get sussed out sooner or later, the fact that Davenport is being outplayed by Hendrickson is worrying though. How did he look so promising last year and so invisible this year.
