There are levels to this.

It was obvious to anyone paying attention that Taysom dreamed of being a starting QB in the NFL. He was the ultimate team player though and everyone described him in that way. He did what was asked of him and didn't cause waves. That was part of his greatness.

Drew Brees, someone who knows a thing or two about playing QB, said that the Saints should have committed to Taysom as a QB earlier and given him the opportunity to have the offense built around him.

So Jameis wasn't a QB either then? Because he had a slightly better TD:INT ratio, but worse career completion % (61.1), worse avg yards per play (7.6), and a worse passer rating (86.3) than Hill.

The circumstances of 2021 did Taysom no favors. He injured his throwing hand in his first start (vs. Dallas) and was throwing to the likes of Marquez Callaway, Deonte Harty, & Lil'Jordan Humphrey.
When Taysom was healthy and had a legit #1 WR (M. Thomas) to throw to the year before, he had a 72% completion rate in his starts.

Additionally, you can't not factor in rushing stats for a running QB. Taysom easily averaged over 50 yards on the ground (to go along with 6 total rushing TDs) for his full-game starts.

Screen pass to Pierre Thomas...such a thing of beauty.

Winston had an RTG of 57.4 in relief duty that year, more than 20 points lower than his second lowest RTG of his career. You think maybe the offensive problems had something to do with the head coach running the show and an OC who didn't really want to be there and had lost his ingenuity for designing and calling plays?

I think some people really don't like him as a person (which is their right to feel that way) and that influences their opinion of him as a player. His first year here, the Saints tied for first in the division, but lost the tiebreaker and missed the playoffs. That 9-8 record included Carr leaving the Green Bay game (a loss) up by three scores and an easy TD drop by Foster Moreau that would have (very likely) sent the home game against the Jaguars into OT. All that with the team being guided by Dennis Allen, whom I am sure we all feel the same about in regard to his head coaching ability.

There is no doubt that he has starting NFL QB talent. Whether or not there will be a marriage between him and a good enough team at this point who thinks enough of his overall makeup (talent, age, leadership, etc.) remains to be seen.

Creatine and caffeine have opposite effects on calcium regulation. Limiting caffeine to 250mg or less minimizes the counteractive effect.

They aren’t going to take away his shot at ROTY

Carolina plays tomorrow. If Tetairoa McMillan has a big game (and he very well may with Jamel Dean out for Tampa), then I think the ROTY award possibility for Shough should become less of a factor in favor of sitting him to keep him healthy (as well as for tanking for an easier schedule next season).

That would have been interesting if Mason Graham would have fallen to #9 in that scenario.

He will have one or two WTF throws or miss a wide open WR once a game.

Elite QBs do that, too. I was watching the KC vs. BUF game and Romo made a "He'd like to have that one back" type comment at least a couple times regarding the QB play.
