Taysom or Jameis?

SaintGnome · 11-18-2020, 05:08 PM

Winston could have had two INTs in just a half of a game and the way he holds the ball while scrambling he could have easily been stripped as well. He'll probably get the start with Taysom in the red zone. Heaven help us.

I'd love to see a full game of Taysom at the wheel. I'd love to see Payton the mad scientist develop a game plan taking advantage of his abilities. I doubt it will happen though.

ChrisXVI · 11-18-2020, 05:38 PM

Jameis will start and Taysom will actually play LESS snaps than usual just like last year because he has to focus on being the only backup QB now.

I just wanna see Taysom try at least a half at QB. Let him try to be a QB. At least try!!!

I’m sure he tries in practice. I seriously doubt Payton cares about you getting your satisfaction.

Now is not the time for experiments. At 7-2 and in the thick of the race for the bye and homefield in the NFC, it's frankly foolish to see if Taysom is a full time NFL caliber QB when we have a guy who has 5 years experience full time at the position. It's completely non-sensical.

I think folks got the notion that since Taysom got paid, the Saints are somehow obligated to see if he can fit as a full time QB. Taysom got paid to be Taysom. And he's been doing a fine job of that. The thoughts that somehow he's going to wake up and be an All-Pro QB is just magical thinking to me.

We need to win these next 4 games. As long as Winston values the ball and just throws it away when nothing is there, he gives the Saints the best chance of doing that.

I understand what you're saying. It makes sense.

But I still want to see him play QB.

Has nothing to do with his contract. Or his college play. The kid plays hard. He does everything he asked to and more. He runs like a maniac. He's intense. He's exciting to watch and always looks like he's having as blast.

I know it sounds stupid or illogical. But I just feel like he's earned a shot to play. And I'd like to see what the Saints have in him. I want to see him prove people wrong and show he's more than a gadget guy. Follow his dreams. Idk.

I'm just getting older. Maybe I just wanna see a guy do well that has worked so hard and earned it.

Lol! If it doesn't work out, put the dork in.

I know it doesn't make sense. And I can't argue with anyone about it. He's just one of my favorite guys to watch. Every time he's in there I get excited to see what he's gonna do.

This!

If we lose any of the four it could cost a a shot at the #1 seed and the lone bye week. Winston gives us the best shot in the very short term. Brees gives a better shot over either other option. We need him back as soon as he can take the field at all.

If we were 2-6 absolutely but we are in the running for the 1 seed, not a good time for Qb tryouts. Like him or not Winston has been there and done that. He also has a lot of experience against Atlanta which can’t hurt.

stickman · 11-19-2020, 06:33 AM

Here is what I am hoping for. When Brees was out last year, it seemed the entire team stepped up their game and played that much harder knowing their main guy was out. I hope to see that again now. Teddy was just asked to manage the game and he did. His stats weren't flashy, they were just solid. That is all I am hoping for.

And I think it will be Winston. If Hill was really your #2 QB, he would have started the second half against the 49ers.

Audiotom · 11-19-2020, 12:03 PM

Jameis

Even though he didn’t show his mobility
And didn’t go through his reads fast enough or get the ball out early enough
(Something Drew is a master at)
I think he will blossom into The Saints air apparent

THe Falcons game will be won between the tackles
If Atlanta gets the push on the guards it will be a very long day
