Will Ian Book be the next Saints QB to beat out Taysom to be the starter?

Our offense is starved for weapons a defense has to prepare for. Taysom is a weapon who is best used everywhere including behind center. Making Taysom QB1a takes away another of those weapons.

While I do believe that Payton will always start whichever player he feels gives us the nest chance to win, it's hard to deny the point that dutar76 is making here. Even the best QB in the league ain't worth a whole lot if he has no real help to get the job done. Taysom may have an issue staying healthy in either role unless he willing to give himself up when the bodies start coming together.

No matter what is being asked of Trevor, there seems to be a better chance that he can remain healthy in the starting QB role, and that is going to be an important factor into building some stability into our offense going forward. In recent TV interviews with Siemian he strikes me as a confident & cerebral kind of leader. This is one intangible that can go a long way in moving up the depth chart to run an offense.

Without Winston, the Saints are now down, but certainly not out. We will know so much more about Siemian as our staring QB now that he has had a week to prepare for the job. If he can't handle what Atlanta throws at him, it's hard to imagine that he will do much better against the tougher opponents ahead. :shocked:
