Unpopular opinion alert, where I hope I'm wrong

I mean... he did complete like 70% of his passes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A lot of those passes were to open receivers and some of the time

Archaea

1/18/21 9:31am

Cuz “elite QBs” never have guys open or guys make amazing catches?

rivercitycoug

1/18/21 9:34am

Some of his passes were "elite". I think you are just seeing his underthrown

Dangerous

1/18/21 9:38am

And some times his receivers dropped his passes

mwcoug

1/18/21 9:39am

Sometimes they dropped the easiest catches ever

Yup, he had a better completion rate in his first 4 starts than Drew Brees,

CougarTailDevourer

1/18/21 9:32am

He had great completion percentage in his starts. I think his bigger problems

ZacSeljaas'Stache

Anticipation and turnovers were his issues

puntersarepeople

1/18/21 10:33am

Disagree.

1/18/21 9:32am

Needs time. Allen was 56% as a rookie. It can be improved on.

johnnycarson

1/18/21 9:33am

Taysom was 72.7% this year with a 98.8 passer rating

Coop

1/18/21 9:35am

Agreed. The narrative that taysom sucked is wrong.

johnnycarson

1/18/21 9:42am

He needs to protect the football and throw the deep ball earlier

Coop

1/18/21 9:47am

His knee was hurt last week too. That may have

johnnycarson

1/18/21 9:50am

Allen was 22 as a rookie. Taysom is 30 and has been in the NFL 4 years already

Martin Van Nostrand

1/18/21 9:36am

So?

johnnycarson

1/18/21 9:42am

He will get his chance next year, if at all.

Archaea

1/18/21 9:36am

Did you want Mangum to replace him and Romney over Wilson too?

pinolero

1/18/21 9:33am

I realize you're joking. I stated my unpopular, non-expert opinion

Archaea

1/18/21 9:34am

Yup, sure did, he'd given up on Taysom in 2014, a full two years before the rest

CougarTailDevourer

1/18/21 9:36am

Taysom's completion % is good enough, however...

Decisiveness comes with confidence and the ability to read quickly.

Archaea

1/18/21 9:38am

And that comes from experience

puntersarepeople

1/18/21 10:37am

I hope you are correct.

Archaea

He completed 73% of his passes this year and was 3 - 1. He has already proven

Dangerous

1/18/21 9:37am

Yeah I agree with this. Taysom wasn't perfect but was still a playmaker and was

pinolero

1/18/21 9:40am

4 starts in the middle of a season doesn’t tell me that. He played well in 3 of

rivercitycoug

1/18/21 9:38am

I might be judging him based on Mahomes, Brady, Brees, and Allen

Archaea

1/18/21 9:40am

Taysom will never be the best QB in the league, but he can certainly start and

ZacSeljaas'Stache

1/18/21 9:42am

They just have to grab Conover!

letthewookieewin

1/18/21 9:44am

Maybe, but if they can lock Taysom up for cheap they could build a SB contender

puntersarepeople

1/18/21 10:42am

Yeah, watch Trubisky, Hurts, Fitzpatrick, etc

puntersarepeople

1/18/21 10:40am

Did you not watch him play this year?

dYrtbYkerYder

1/18/21 9:42am

I watched him play and thought Peyton protected him with the playcalling.

Archaea

1/18/21 10:53am

What does that even mean?

puntersarepeople

1/18/21 11:07am

If he is not elite, why does he deserve a shot?

PhilPete

1/18/21 9:46am

He has put work in and improved, plus the Saints have salary cap

Archaea

1/18/21 9:51am

Taysom’s ball placement is plenty good. He had a good completion % despite drops
