I think he holds onto the ball a little too long sometimes. But other than that he’s been playing good. Should we ride with Dalton next season and try to build around him a little more? Maybe trade Winston. I don’t know what we do with MT but it would be nice for him to be gone. We need a stud RB and to shore up the OL. Maybe look for another decent receiver without spending too much. I think Dalton can thrive with the right pieces in place.

Fail to see how a Qb playing "pretty good" yields 0 points.

Dalton is a backup QB, that's it.

Jameis isn't the answer either.

The Saints have no legit qb on the roster.

Dalton, in my opinion, is the perfect QB to guide this team through a painful rebuild. Not too expensive, can be efficient enough to evaluate the pieces around him, and doesn’t have an expectation of being a long term franchise guy at this point in his career.

Guy isn't good enough to start on one of the worst teams in the league and will have a salary of around $13M. Who do you think is going to trade for him? Do we offer our 5th or 6th rounder for a team to take him?

He should be designated a post 6/01 cut to reduce his 2023 cap hit from $15.6M to $2.8M. Then he'll have an $8.4M carry over in 2024.

I agree with riding with Dalton and hoping a rookie drops to wherever the teams' first pick will be (early 2nd, SP trade?). Then you have a solid vet to start the season with before turning to the rookie; or a solid vet to help guide a rookie if you decide to go sink or swim mode.

I think they should give him a long term contract and build around him.

Does it matter? This season is basically over and no one wants Dalton to be our starting QB next year so what’s the point?

Great idea. Let’s build around a bad 35 year old QB. Hard pass, just embrace the rebuild with a new real coach.

Pretty clear that Winston will not be on this team next season.

Dalton at this point should stay and go after a rookie QB early in draft, unless the team goes after a legit veteran starter somehow like Aaron Rodgers or Lamar Jackson.

Dalton at this point could still lead a team to the playoffs and win some playoff games, just not this team. Not with these coaches. The main problem right now is Pete Carmichael's playcalling and then Dennis Allen's command of the team. We are playing with almost no urgency right now, no life and no drive it seems. We have been injury bit again, but the fact that we have STARS like Kamara fumbling, Mathieu loafing it frequently, and are one of the most penalized teams tells me our biggest issue is coaching. A Head Coach has to have hold his players accountable. I am never a "fire him" guy and typically like to see a new HC get a full 2 if not 3 years to establish themselves, but I kept waiting today to see that Dennis Allen got fired, that's how bad I interpret the team's energy and effort and confidence level right now, he's lost the locker room

You want to build around a 35 year old backup journeyman qb?
