Question about Saints losing to backup/rookie Qb’s

First off Hurst doesn’t scare me and this defense isn’t going let him get away with much, we win and it’s not close.
I seem to remember the Saints losing to a fair amount of backups/rookie Qb’s in the past when we played against teams that were inferior. Who are some of these Qb’s?

RG III comes to mind. So does J Winston LOL!

Career backup Mat Moore beat Brunel and the Saints in 2009.

I was in the dome for the home opener (that game), & RGIII torched us. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

On research, Matt Ryan defeated the saints as a rookie in 2008.

How can you guys forget Fitz-magic. Saints D made him look like a Hall of Famer.

Someone called Max something for the Cardinals beat our #4 ranked D in 2010.

Over the past ten years or so the Saints have actually fared very well against backups and rookie QB's. Every time we are about to face one in recent memory someone always brings up this very subject and we proceed to take care of business as usual.

Interesting topic

.

I recall reading this on Saints report and someone pulled up a stat …

"In the Sean Payton era going up against back up/rookies (8 games or less), he has a record of 16-4".

We as fans tend to remember all those L's, however Payton has done extremely well with inexperienced QB's over the last decade.
