ever be assumed that he'd be a starter again?

I get that Taysom hasn't proven he can be a starter, but Winston got his shot. He already proved he's not worthy of being an NFL starter. Capable backup, sure, but not a starter.

You can't spell WINSTON without the INT.

ESPN pundits have already assumed Winston is the starter.

A real "wash-out" when a team moves on from one starter to bring in the GOAT...

You don't go sign a 40+ year old QB if you're happy with the current young one.

The Brady Effect brought a bunch of talent with him

mudpupper

6/22/21 2:56pm

You do if the 40 yo is Tom Brady.

Metallicat

6/22/21 3:34pm

I would take 40 yr old Brady over 3/4 of the starters in the league, maybe more

Bold move taking the Goat 😉

Can't believe it's a hot take for some on this board...

Saints got him for 1 year at the league minimum right? nobody wanted him

BYUFootballisBack

Hes making $5.5 million

Maybe scheme will make a difference. Certainly did for Van Noy after washing

Chris Simms, our new favorite analyst, thinks it will be Taysom (yes, Chris is not ESPN)

cruiserhead

6/22/21 2:12pm

Honestly, I put more trust in non-ESPN analysts like Simms nowadays

Kamara ran like 7 routes already. How much time does Jameis need?

If you hold onto the ball, you can't throw an interception.....

It cut off before he throws the pick

I try to not root against players. With Taysom's future in the balance, that's

Forzaitalia

6/22/21 2:07pm

At this point I almost prefer they give it to Winston and he dogs it so that

CougGolf

6/22/21 2:14pm

Yeah. I thought Taysom proved he can be a good starting QB last season.

Forzaitalia

6/22/21 2:18pm

That Denver game sure was a tour de force...

reddead

6/22/21 2:24pm

Denver game was a unique circumstance.

CougGolf

6/22/21 2:28pm

I'll say. Perfectly executing the plan to manage the game is faint praise

reddead

6/22/21 3:50pm

What does that have to do with the original point? He played pretty well for a

CougGolf

6/22/21 4:09pm

He did not play "pretty well." He played poorly. His QBR was bad.

reddead

6/22/21 6:08pm

He had the best completion rate in the NFL during his four starts. And that's being thrust into the starting job

CougarTailDevourer

6/22/21 6:12pm

Haha, we went from played pretty well to great NFL quarterback as the standard

CougGolf

6/22/21 6:23pm

He was solid. But he didn’t show he was the best starter for the Saints this year

Alpi Gusto

6/22/21 10:22pm

I agree. Winston would get the nod if it were “Winston v. Jameis”

Coug Man in Florida

6/22/21 10:28pm

Oof, my bad. Thanks for catching that

Alpi Gusto

6/22/21 11:05pm

It’s funny the great lengths everyone goes to prove a point against Taysom

Pangare

6/22/21 3:26pm

Winston as starter might see Taysom's wildcat role double or triple, though.

SinkingQuffa

6/22/21 2:26pm

Personally, I would like to see Taysom own the army knife role. He has essentially carved out a whole new position/role

cruiserhead

Check out that entourage

NacoCoug

6/22/21 3:53pm

The guy is unsackable. How do all those guys miss? Taysom has no chance.

Y05

6/22/21 2:18pm

Looking at the still photo, he holds the ball really weird

bluelands

6/22/21 2:22pm

Is that a Saints or a private workout?

SinkingQuffa

6/22/21 2:24pm

Pretty sure Taysom should do that drill. He had fumblitis last year.

A Drew Aitch

6/22/21 2:26pm

That's exactly what I was thinking. Taysom needs to the HS thing of carrying the

Definitely a sack, held the ball way too long

BYUFootballisBack

Something about this video makes me angry. Maybe it's the arrogance

Stev_ie

towerman

6/22/21 10:43pm

If he's going to play quarterback, shouldn't he throw the ball at some point?

Sharper

6/22/21 3:25pm

Not to be Mr. Obvious, but this is a ball security/footwork drill. Evidently he does throw it eventually- intercepted?

Adrielle

Wish Taysom would embrace an alt role like Tebow is learning too late

MDub1

6/22/21 9:00pm

Tebow probably got the idea from Taysom
