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

@bobad which is to say, I don’t know that your confidence was completely misplaced. He’s shown he can play, but he’s also struggled badly, arguably under less than helpful circumstances.

He’s got a solid opportunity now. Even though his career isn’t on the 15 year franchise QB track, there are some qualities to like about him and Payton will put him in a position to succeed. He’s got a really good line protecting him, an elite back to work with, but serious lingering concerns about pass-catching talent. It won’t be easy, but Payton will be able to diagnose if any offensive struggles are on him or the players around him.
