Re: Question about Saints losing to backup/rookie Qb’s
 

Maybe the Payton era hasn’t had the same rate of failure against rookies, but if you’ve followed the team as long as some of us, there is good reason for this to come up.

I present to you the 1999 Cleveland Browns. The Browns themselves were rookies having just been reestablished after the prior Browns moved to Baltimore to become the Ravens. That year in NO, the Browns were starting rookie QB, Tim Couch, and they were on a 7 game losing streak to start the season. (Giving teams their first win of the year is more of a thing to me, but we’re talking rookies now.)

Of course, the Saints weren’t any better that year...the last under HC Mike Ditka, having won in Week 1 and then losing 7 or 8 straight. But, come on...we just needed a win and end up losing to the rookie Browns with a rookie QB in the Dome? If I recall correctly, we lost on a last second Hail Mary, of all things.

So, yeah, rookies!

The Eagles OLine is horrible. They Eagles have no play makers. Hurts has never been good at reading defenses beyond his first option. Controlled pressure. Keep him in the pocket. If the Saints show up and don't turn the ball over, this game could resemble the Broncos game.

Not the same but a qb that came alive against us

Derrick Carr looked terrible
Then played lights out in the Saints / Raiders game this year

I barely saw Hurts throw the ball today. Their O line just destroyed our D.

I had a bad feeling the second that Hurts trucked Marcus Williams for a first down.

Is it safe now to wonder if maybe the Saints have Possibly had difficulties dealing with QBs that haven’t started a lot of games and/or are backups?

Is it safe to say if you had rolled a single die 16 times and it came up with a three on four of those occurrences that when rolled a 17th time and a three appears that there is a possibility that it has a tendency to end up on three?

Or a flipped coin four times out of 16 is tails and the 17th a tail? Difficulty flipping heads all the sudden?
