The hype train is leaving the station. All Aboard!

Dang! Winston missed the train.

Andrew Luck? He's not returning to the NFL.

He retired for a reason.

Even if Andrew Luck did return to the NFL, I often don't understand the love. He seemed like a great guy sure, but he had 171 touchdowns vs 127 ints / fumbles combined.

Guy was a turnover machine.

Don't even remotely see Luck returning to the NFL let alone finding his way down to New Orleans. Pretty much next subject...

To be fair, I'm under the understanding that the Colts had a terrible pass protecting O-line when Luck played, which is why he often took a beating and hence retired early.

Yeah can't deny that to be honest, absolutely a fair point.

Just like Peyton Manning was? First 5 years in the league 100 interceptions.
Just like Brett Favre was? First 5 years as a starter ..........77 inteceptions.
Just like Dan Fouts was? First 5 years..............................89 interceptions.
Just Like Drew Brees was First 5 years as a starter............64 interceptions
Just Like Tom Brady was First 5 years as a starter.............68 interceptions

Remind me how many Victorious Super Bowl Rings Favre has? What about Fouts?

We have 2 guys on the roster that I feel can be NFL starters. Barring a trade for someone we know will work out, I think we just let the situation resolve itself and quit thinking about it too much. I think from Payton's vantage point, both guys could be the starter next year. They'll both get a lot more work in training camp than they normally would have with Brees being there. By the start of the season, Payton will have a pretty strong opinion. If neither work out, then there's the draft.

If the Saints traded for Luck this would be him looking at the tape

Tackles Armstead and Ramcyzk

Then he sees Peat
