Ian Book

I gave him the benefit of the doubt last year vs Miami, but have seen zero evidence of Book getting better. He plays sloppy and frenetic, is wildly inconsistent, but most disappointing is that he has almost ZERO pocket presence.

The slightest bit of pressure often compels him to run or move off his throwing platform. I also get the impression that the stage is too big for him. I was hoping for some signs of growth and him getting better, but I just don’t see it.
Not to mention he is dangerous to play for he throws his guys into danger. He can’t handle a center exchange. He plays scared.

Your completely right the stage is too big for him right now. The saints are best served by cutting him and relying on Taysom as a 3rd qb. He is better served running the scout team if he is a practice squad guy or even going down into the XFL or USFL for a while. Maybe in 3 or 4 years he can be a solid backup but today he isn’t there and we shouldn’t shouldn’t waste a spot pretending he can be. I don’t think we have to worry about him getting claimed at this point so he should be an easy lock to make it to our practice squad.
