Hopefully he got a bunch of money so that it will help us get a draft pick for losing Marcus Williams.

Thank God.

talk about a guy who didn't seize the opportunity. imagine he's got Sean Payton calling plays and he can't figure out how to win games. What gave it away for me was the slouchy post game interviews as if he was ready to go home and watch an episode of family guy

I wonder if that means they'll cut Foles? He'd make a great backup.

He seized the opportunity to get a 2 year deal as the backup for the Bears. That dude was never going to be a starting QB but he's a smart guy that was ready to take over when the starter went down. You don't want him starting a bunch of games for you but he's a solid backup QB and he's getting the security that most backup QBs don't get.

Beyond that, it's hard to seize the opportunity here when we had third and fourth string WRs trying to fill in as the #1 WR and a patch work offensive line.

Every game Trevor started Kamara was out with an injury

Because of Michael Thomas being out for the season, the biggest difference in the Saints win/loss record was if Alvin was playing or not.

With Alvin: 9-4
Without Alvin: 0-4

The 4th game without Alvin Taysom started and lost.

I'm not saying Simian is a good QB, but his starts in New Orleans put him in the absolute worst situation possible ... an offense with multiple injured offensive linemen and back-of-roster skill position players.

People seem to have either forgotten or simply dismissed the fact that we were completely decimated by injury and covid last season.

As has been pointed out already, he made the most of his opportunity here. From where his career was when the Saints picked him up to having a couple of teams pursue him for a QB2 spot. That’s a come up for Siemian.

Literally, If Siemian knew how to take two steps forward in the pocket, he would have been successful. Siemian was so averse to stepping up in the pocket you would have thought there was an invisible fence.

I thought he played decent. I don't think Drew would have had an easy time winning games with that roster he had.

Maybe not, but Drew knows how to step up in the pocket.

Until the Bills game he wasn't terrible (and the whole team was terrible on Thanksgiving)

So Book is now the #2?
