We'd probably be in the mix for a QB1 at the top of an exciting QB draft right now...

I'd like to see Taysom get a legitimate shot at being the Saints QB1 and it not be handed to Player No. 2 by default of team politics...

To your first point I agree whole heartedly that we'd be looking at getting a QB in the draft because of a better draft slot.

To your second point I truly believe that Winston will win the job and earn the starting spot. Personally, I believe that Taysom has reached his ceiling as a QB but there is still room for growth in his joker role. I'm not a Winston fan but I'm willing to reevaluate him throughout the season.

This is where I'd never agree - Taysom had three (3) career starts after having not started at QB since college more than five years before...

Did everyone think he was suppose to be Drew Brees in his first start?

Has everyone forgotten Drew Brees was benched multiple times in his Chargers tenure?

Will agree that Jameis will be the starter and that has more to do with team locker room politics than play...

That's the great thing about this scenario. We'll have an answer when we kick off the first game. Until then we can only speculate who Payton thinks has the higher ceiling and gives us the better chance to win. Please don't get me wrong I love me some Taysom but I feel like Winston will win the job.
