IF he stays healthy - and IF Sean adjusts the offense to allow him to play to his strengths - I think we can win enough games to make some noise in these last 6 games.... So much so, that TH7 may never give up that QB1 spot.

This is what I have been waiting to see... a real opportunity for him to play QB with a game plan that fits him... Not one designed for Brees or Winston... I really hope we get it.

I see no reason why he can't be exactly what Hurts is for Philly... and maybe even more than that. Detractors, Nay Sayers, and Excuse makers be damned.

Hopefully TH7 is better than Hurts. He sucks!

The abrupt shift in the gameday thread will rip a giant hole in the space time continuum.

I was referring to style not so much substance...

 

[BigDSaintsFan]

Then we'll just hear from the talking heads how the Saints beat a "depleted" Cowboys squad.

So what. At this point we need a win.

 

[TheRealJRad]

At least he can run it in between throwing to guys who can't catch.

I wonder if Taysom somehow finishes this season with 224 pass attempts, does the $95 million total contract extension kick in to start next year

When people report that Hill was a full participant at practice, who is saying that, the team, or did a member of the media actually see it?

He was FP on last weeks practice reports. But, he was practicing as QB2, not as the joker. I would imagine he would have been LP at the joker position.

I don’t agree with everyone saying that Payton is making a change to spark the team. He stated right after Winston got hurt if Taysom was healthy, he would start. Hill has not been healthy since then (concussion and toe). He played first game back after concussion in joker role, but he had not practiced for three weeks and had not had any reps at QB, thus the start that week for Trevor, then the toe issue happened. I could be wrong, but I think Taysom would have been starting all along after JW went down if not for the two injuries.

If Taysom does have plantar fasciitis, I doubt that he's fully health after a couple of weeks. The running plays might be limited. I hope that's not the case.

 

[Optimus Prime]

anyone know what Tayson has to do to trigger the 90 million of his new contract?

does this count?

does he need to be week 1 starter? a certain number of snaps or games started?

 

[AmericanHeroJameis]

the saints are either gonna finish 11-6 or 6-11

no

 

[SonOfNOLA]

no

So it’s a $95 million contract if Taysom throws 224+ passes in 2022, or are the QB incentives accumulated season to season

 

[Merl]

Being that it was an extension, I’m guessing it doesn’t kick in until next season and he is still playing on his prior contract for the remaining games this year. We couldn’t fit any of that money under the cap this year having less than a million left.

There are some incentives for this year but the chances of reaching them are very unlikely with just 6 games left. He will need to average 36 pass attempts per game to reach the 224 needed for 2 of them. It is possible he could get the 600 rushing yards but if gets that many he probably won't reach the 224 figure needed to collect the bonus for passer rating.
