So Taysom will probably be full-time #2QB, Jameis full-time #3 QB, but Jameis has tons more NFL experience at QB then Taysom and, possibly, a better arm. So we could have 2 Taysom like players on the offense...

So now I'm confused, but best part is our division rivals are probably even more confused and they don't know what our new attack will look like this season, nor will they know how to defend against that attack.
I just kind of look at it as Jameis Winston is Drew’s backup and Tommy Stevens is Taysom Hill’s backup.

What killed our season last year was 1.) Kamara was 1/2 of himself and probably injured most of the season because we refused to run Murray in power plays, and overused Kamara early, 2.) dropped balls from every other receiver not named Michael Thomas - yes Brees hit Ted Ginn, and others, on the fly and they could not catch the ball - so not Brees' arm or age, 3.) Defense was banged up permanently after the San Fran game.

I understand Brees missed 5 games due to injury to his thumb but with the additions to offensive line with shuffling that should change the offensive line for the better.

If the Saints are so confident in Taysom Hill, why bring in Winston?
Would much rather another a young wide receiver with proven catching skills on deep balls.

Because Hill and Winston play two entirely different positions.

Just wait until we come out in a formation with 4 QB's, Kamara and Michael Thomas!


Seriously, if we can find the roster space, it's not a bad idea to basically have 2 Taysom's, especially since we didn't draft a WR maybe Taysom will continue to see more snaps at that position.

Right, huh? Just so Payton can say he did it! Kinda like his double-double reverses?

That’s a lot of “not my money”. Good for him.

With that said, for that kind of money, I hope we see him on the field more this year.
