re: Do the Saints resign Teddy?

Nope, not horrible. That said he is at the bottom of the second string QBs coming in to start due to 1st string injuries.

I am pleased he is accurate, for the most part, with his short pass.

they would have to resign him before doing that. He is going to be a FA.

Lets see what Burrows does after the Utah game.

He's awful. You know how bad it is when you're having to count on the defense to bail your arse out all game. And don't worry about Red Zone efficiency.. Just settle for the easy chipshot FG after Kamara single-handedly keeps the drive alive.

the team is rallying behind him. If he holds the fort down until Drew gets back that's all I’m worried about. He seems like a humble guy also.... come on man

This. We can all worry about next year... Next year.

You have forgotten what horrible looks like.

Horrible is not 2-0 no pics(Ginn) no fumbles coming off the bench. Its just not.

This. He is a SERVICEABLE 2nd string. I hope something "clicks" and he begins to perform better.

It would be nice to see what he could do without all the penalties and dropped passes.

I am a Teddy fan, but I understand the frustration.

We are spoiled by having one of the best QBs of all time under center. Whoever replaces Drew will never amount to Drew in many fans eyes (not saying Teddy is close).

IMO the issues with Teddy are fixable:

1) he is playing not to lose. He doesn’t turn the ball over much, but he also doesn’t take many chances. So he often holds the ball too long.

2) he has a really strong arm and can throw every type of pass that any other QB in the league can throw, but he isn’t a slinger.

3) if seemingly all of his runs weren’t called back with some very ticky tack holding calls, I think it would offset some of his poor pocket plays and result in more fan appreciation for his skill set.

4) he has to read the defenses better Pre snap, but again that will come with experience.

5) our line and WRs really have to do a better job too, but it is understandable. The WRs have to run their routes differently and expect the ball to come out later, but with more velocity. The line have to engage their blocks longer than what they are used to. They are also used to limited pressure up the middle of the pocket and funneling outside pressure to the outside of the line because Drew liked to,step up into the pocket. Teddy likes to spin out of pressure, so our tackles would need to funnel outside pressure back to the inside. Those are extremely hard adjusts to make into a season.

Overall though, he does need to play better, but at the end of the day, he isn’t making mistakes that are killing our team (although that last sack was bad), he is 2-0 against 2 very tough teams, and he is still getting his starting feet back under him. I mean a lot of people were hoping to get through the first 2 games at 2-2 with Drew leading the offense.

I hope not. He reminds of Aaron Brooks (not because he is black but because he misses wide open passes). He is ok as backup and hopefully will continue doing well enough to win most of our games until Brees gets back, but Teddy is not the answer at QB for the post-Brees era.

Also the drop by Josh Hill inside the 5

Let's trade him to Jacksonville for that Minshew fella. He's pretty exciting to watch.
