I somewhat disagree, because Drew and Taysom have a really great rapport and, unlike most other 2 QB situations, our locker room is strong and players love both QB's regardless out of who is out there. Drew is like our Phillips head screwdriver and yes will want him out there in most situations, but occasionally that flat-head screwdriver (Taysom) sure comes in handy.

I'm not talking about either of them having a personal issue with sharing time. I speaking of in game flow. Pulling Brees for a play has more often than not resulted in an interruption of flow and frequently killed drives. Sure, Taysom has had some big gainers, but we could have just as easily moved the ball with Brees' arm as with Taysom's legs. A novelty play here or there, fine. But anything more would in my opinion be detrimental.

That was my first thought too. I miss him. His death hit me hard. He was a very good man and communicator.

It's awesome that our members care about each other this much. Friendships are built here on the BNG!

Full disclosure ... with the Saints at 10-2 and my Lakers being champions and fully loaded for this coming season I have been on a pro sports high. In such a good mood I finally caved this weekend and let my wife get a second dog.





So my cat is really outnumbered but the good news I am downstairs with my cat a lot and he cuddles and watches football with me a ton. RIP Foreverfan you are missed!

Remember Troy Aikman bemoaning the substitution of Hill for Brees against the Vikings Then hitting Harris for a 50 yd gain? Then blocked for the TD by Kamara on the next play. Taysom Hill kept the Saints "in the game" against the Vikings.

I can only imagine how special it is being in the huddle with a guy who You know has passed for TDs, Blocked for TDs, Ran for TDs, caught slants across the middle for TDs, and been an ace on coverage to prevent TDs. If he wanted to play safety he’d be a pro bowler in 2 years.

It doesn’t matter who starts each week, if one goes down we have very competent backup.

No need to debate who wants who. We are covered.

We've got great home grown depth from our scouting department and coaches who can elevate a player if we need him to start.
