Career clocks ticking. We watched our future HOF QB Brees come off the field for plays but TS gets to continue to play Hill injured gets to continue those are guys who should be coming off the field to give plays to Book. This is a QB and offense driven team not defense. We gave a lot of weapons up on O to build a D. Now we have a issue with QB play and we drafted a nice QB but don't play him while we have this QB problem. So we wait until we get a good QB that's winning then take him off the field and see what Book got right ? Sorry for my rant I'm sure I'm missing the point somewhere.
 
So basically it says, SP won't play Book until the team is out of contention for the playoffs. They love Book but don't want to put him in a bad situation. Only one QB drafted ahead of Book has succeeded and that is Mac Jones. Other than that they have all failed miserably. The saints think too much off Book to put him in a situation that will have long term effects on his confidence. The saints lost a lot on offense in the cap cuts and built the Defense. Injuries decimated us and that wasnt the plan. For now Hill will play with a splint if he can't Siemian will go..............
P.S. I printed the article!

So basically they feel Book is our QB of the future. OK cool. While Book may look great in practice and in the film room they don't know how he'll look in "live action". I totally understand them not wanting to kill the kid's confidence playing behind a bad oline and no threats at receiver, but they'll need to let him play sooner or later or else we'll go into next year with a huge question mark at the most important position. We might have the chance for trade for a Russ or a Watson, and worst-case we may be looking at another season with Taysom starting if Book isn't the guy.

Give the kid some live reps.
 
The season maybe over so why not get him a few snaps periodically? Don't think the situation could get much worse so how could that hurt? So, what if he's a rookie. He's an NFL paid QB that was drafted to perform.

The thought is that the season is NOT over yet and that is why Payton would not start him.
