Not sure the Saints will have a Legion of Boom level defense this year, capable of letting a rookie QB mostly play with a lead and/or in low scoring games.
Russ didn’t do nearly as much “cooking” his first two years, even though he clearly flashed as an elite QB talent. Plus he only had to outperform Matt Flynn.
Hard to imagine Booker showing enough to win the job, over Winston, who is much better than Flynn ever was (no disrespect) and if he does that probably means the whole team sucks and the Saints are playing for the future not for the playoffs.
I know it's a long shot. But it's what I'm hoping for. It would be in the best interest of the team.
