New CBS mock draft has Saints selecting LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in 2025

St. Widge said

He's only played against one decent defense so far, South Carolina, and he struggled against South Carolina. Let's wait to crown him until he faces an even good defense. Being good against the USC, Nichols State, UCLA, and South Alabama defense doesn't really impress me.

And if all you had to do to evaluate QBs for the NFL was look at their completion percentage and efficiency rating, the draft would be easy. But we all know it doesn't work like that.

Hold on now. You play who is in front of you. Yes, I’m big on pointing out performance against crappy teams. Hence, why I placed zero stock into us winning 4 of the last 5 games (Saints) last year.
However, he did play very well in the bowl game against Wisconsin last year, which was a dang good closely contested game. He has shown so far that he can lead us to tight victories if need be (USCe) this year as well. The guy is not afraid. I’m sure he will be up to the challenge. He’s going to have to show that he can overcome our defensive struggles, much like JD5 did. I have faith in him.
