We have three starting caliber quarterbacks (1 Viewer)

[yardbird]

It's easy to take for granted that for the third consecutive year, the Saints have three starting-caliber quarterbacks. It's so unusual to have even two, rarer still when the QB1 is elite. It reminds me of watching with envy when the old 49ers teams of the 80s had Montana, Young, and Bono on the same squad, and in 1991, they ended up needing all three just to get through the season.

I never thought I'd see the Saints in such an enviable situation. I feel like the future is bright when Brees returns from injury and when he potentially retires next year. I think the Saints can continue to contend.

Seeing what's happening to Brady in TB makes JW look much better.

It's starting to look more and more like lots of ints is a feature of that offense.

I don’t think I’d call Winston a starting caliber QB. There weren’t any other teams offering him a starting position. We do have strong depth at QB, that’s for sure. It could be so much worse like when Billy Joe got hurt and was replaced by Billy Joe.

Lets see Brees is Montana, Taysom is Steve Young and Jameis Winston is Bono.

You are right, we do have 3 starting caliber QB's and that is rare. We are blessed.

Calling Breed a "starting-caliber" quarterback is an insult

That can't be right, all the talk is if you have 2 QB's you have none.
So 1=1, 2=0, therefore 3=3!
So confusing!LOL

 

[Madmarsha]

YEAH, we do!

Come on man! I use to be one of the biggest Winston bashers in the world. If the following QBs are starters then Winston absolutely is of that quality

Gardner Minshew
Daniel Jones
Sam Darnold
Dwayne Haskins (to start the season)
Drew Lock
Heck even garbage Nick Foles can be added to this list as he’s been successful with only ONE coach, everywhere else is below average.

Oh, man! The Ode to the Billy Joe's. The Iron Mike daze were one of the low points of the franchise. It was so bad in the late 60s and 70s under Mecom, though, that even the Iron Era was not the nadir.

You should've known that already. Every QB in a Bruce Arian's offense sets their career record for interceptions in their first year.

 

[jbourque]

I know we have Brees and Taysom. Who is the 3rd?

 

[FlySaint]

We have great depth across the board.

I think Loomis has made it happen!

Lets see Brees is Montana, Taysom is Steve Young and Jameis Winston is Bozo.

5,000 yards for a crap team with a crap coach.....a team and coach who now can't win with Tom freaking Brady. I'd say Winston is a top 32 QB which makes him starting caliber. Great find by us.
