Have we seen the last of Taysom’s Joker role?

Just based on what I've seen he's the best at what he does when he's doing his Joker thing. Matter of fact, he's the only guy in the league who can do what he does.

So he's an A+ player at Joker. At QB he's more of a C- guy. Do you want him to be an awesome A+ weapon or a C- QB? Awesome or mediocre? Easy decision for SP. Let Taysom be Taysom.

I don't think it's fair to judge either QB without a full offseason playing 100% QB. I don't think Drew is an A QB only practicing a third of the time he normally does.

But, the point was not "is Taysom a better Joker or QB?" He's clearly a better Joker. But, do the Saints play Taysom as they have been without a backup as good as Teddy or Jameis? And, does Taysom leave after this year if he's not the starter at QB?

I find it odd that the Saints would give Taysom the contract they did unless they expected him to be the starter because they will still owe Taysom money if he's cut or traded, right? Or, maybe they figure that if Taysom doesn't renegotiate that they can trade him for a high draft pick? I don't know. It just seems odd to me if the Saints don't expect Taysom to be the starting QB.
