I think everyone knows what I think of Spencer at this point, so I’ll be more measured on my excitement about him getting the nod this week.
I do expect him to have some “welcome to the NFL” rookie moments this week. Nearly every QB has them in their first start. I don’t expect him to be the exception.
That said, this system fits him. The moment will not be too big for him. He is very talented. And I am willing to take the good with the bad with him because he has actual franchise QB goods. For him it will be a matter of decision making and if he can get the other guys to believe.
I think he can. That’s the part of this that has my head spinning with the future possibilities.
The last time I had this feeling was when Taysom got his shot, I and banged the table for him to get 10 or more touches a game, and I didn’t care how. The guys followed him. You could feel the intensity level of the team pick up when he played.
His Ceiling is a guy like CJ Stroud. And that’s not hyperbole. I’m freaking stoked!
Edit- Just FYI …. Speed and mobility are 2 different things when it comes to the QB position. After watching Drew for a decade and a half…. You’d think Saints fans would know the difference.
