I mean if I was a more ardent football fan I'd pray every day for the day Deshaun Watson finally has enough of BOB's bullshyt so we could make a run for him.. but my point is you lose basically nothing by giving Scam or Winston the 1 year prove it deal as backup to Brees. If they pass with flying colors we get our new franchise QB without even having to look on the market or make bids with valuable assets for the guys you mentioned (who aren't guaranteed to even be available... Detroit is not giving up on Stafford as soon as next year for example). And if they don't whatever,
then you look to the draft and free agency, nothing of value lost. This whole "We believe in Taysom Hill" is obvious bullshyt to anyone who's seen 5 snaps of him "playing" QB for real... but Payton rolling with it to appease him for all his good ol' boy hard work while we let legit options for a successor like Teddy go to other teams... just isn't defensible IMO. Looking at it like "As long as we win with Brees who cares what happens next" is silly IMO... I ain't tryna turn into the Failcons for the next 5 years because we didn't pounce when a new franchise QB was sitting there for the taking now, I ain't tryna win no one and done superbowl
. Our team has too much talent to bottom out and get guys like Lawrence in the draft... which means you need to be smart and proactive about finding your next franchise QB through other avenues. Leaving guys like Winston and Scam on the table to roll with a 30 year old clown who's legs are falling off and obviously isn't it to try and save face to the media after bigging him up in ill-advised public statements (which always gave me bad Dave Griffin "JrUe HoLiDaY Is A mVp CanDiDaTe" vibes...
) ain't fukkin smart or proactive IMO. But that's just me, I don't make the decisions
