I just don’t understand how so many Saints fans continue to reject logic, when it comes to Jameis’s value as our QB2. Many were begging for us to try and trade the guy, while also drooling over us finally getting Taysom/AK packages rolling in the red zone. Understand that w/o a very competent QB2 like Jameis, Taysom becomes our QB2/3. That means a HUGE part of our offense gets relegated to clipboard holding.
DA would never allow Haener, a ROOKIE who’s missed 6 weeks, to be our backup QB. Jameis is top value to us, b/c he frees up Taysom to be another X factor. He’s also a superb teammate and leader in the locker room. He’s an energy guy with the type of character/personality you need around if/when morale dips. Had we traded him the possibility of finally getting our offense in gear would’ve diminished greatly.
We need Jameis on that sideline in his role, so Taysom can continue thriving in his. Good for the front office for not trying to move him.
