Future QB Possibility?
Posted on 10/13/16 at 9:22 am

My friend and I are discussing who should take the reins at QB for the Saints when Drew hangs it up (hopefully not soon). This stemmed from a mock draft he saw where the Saints draft Deshaun Watson. I, personally, think that while it wouldn't be a bad move the Saints still have too many other needs.
However, for argument's sake if Brees and the Saints do decide part ways after this season which I don't know either way I was thinking the QB they should go after is actually already current in the league and that is Jimmy Garoppolo. How would the board feel either? I'm just curious.
For the record, I hope we keep Drew a couple more years and draft wisely to develop a QB moving forward. Watson would be OK but I don't know if he's that good or a product of the Clemson offense a la Tahj Boyd.

Well we know it won't be Grayson. Glad Payton decided to use a 3rd round pick on him.

Just depends on what we gave up for him.
I say keep trying to find gems in later rounds.
This draft the first 3 rounds have to be combo of
Best available Pass rusher, Offensive Line, Safety.
Or Safety later and find us an athletic, rangy, smart MLB. You know like that Kwon Alexander Guy, or Deion Jones. If we don't land Kendall Beckwith, ill be pissed

Jimmy Garoppolo
My biggest problem with him is that he has no deep game. He can't drive the ball deep at all, and he never has at any level. He is pretty damn sharp in the short-intermediate game. But to me that just means you always have to have players that are very well suited for that area of the field (which fortunately NE is). It's hard to stretch the defense and give your offense some room when your QB cannot get the ball to the receivers deep.

The guys that get paid millions of dollars just to pick a good QB can't get it right so all I hope we do is tank the season after Drews last, work your cap as best you can, get as many pics as possible, go 1-15 get the first over all pic and hold tight to your lucky rabbits foot etc.

He's got at least 1 more here after his extension

QB's and assistant coaches that leave the Pats are the last people I would take a chance on. Belichick is the reason they succeed.

Would not be completely upset, I agree there are more needs but I think he will be a good pro.

I thought we were trading for Romo since SP knows him and such...
Seriously, the team should not be planning to replace Brees in the upcoming draft, at the very least they should be looking at young mid to late round QBs that can come in and replace McCown; he's expecting to count $1.75M against our cap next year to be the back-up.

Watson would sell tickets and make the team look more like eye candy... kind of like Prescott with Dallas. Can he hold the seat down for the long haul is the real question. Jimmy G deserves a chance. He's less eye candy but if he come in and start winning, all will be well.

Give broncs a pick for Semien

2018 Draft should have some decent QB's. Let's wait until then to make a move. I wish McCown was 8 years younger. He's very serviceable.

Tedy Bridgewater.
Last time we picked up injured QB whose career was in doubt, it worked out very well.
It would be even better if Saban coached the team that decided not to sign Tedy, then went back to the SEC as Auburn's coach. The wailing and gnashing of teeth in Tuscaloosa would be awesome.
