Jake might be able to win me back...

...just a SLIGHT amount if he goes out there and does enough to keep us undefeated in the Superdome since 2003...

Yes, that is when Jake became our starting QB, and no, we haven't lost against the Saints in their house since... even the year Jake was hurt...

If we can just win this game, it could do wonders for both bringing down the Saints morale, boosting ours, and getting us back a little respect that we gave up so early in the year...

Since I started this trend last week, I will be DVRing the game, and playing catchup around halftime... I guess I've started a new superstition since we got the W last week, so I'll stick to it for now..

I'm not expecting the win, but hopefully we at least keep it respectable and maybe even pull out the W...

Point 1. Rationally speaking, no matte what happens Jake is the best QB we have on the roster at the moment.

Point 2. Jake is a gunslinger that always stands a punchers chance at winning.

Point 3. Assuming we win out and Jake is doesnt throw another interception all season he is still an average QB at best. and he is 34 or so years old

Point being, I like Jake, and I might have confidence in jake this year but Jake has a shelf life as a QB. I love the personality of the team in terms of Jake, Smitty and all the other guys. They seem to have a very good comraderie that is probably among the best in the NFL. But in the end the team needs to do what is best for the team. Unfortunately there will be some turnover coming that will impact that core.

I think that Arizona game did a lot for Jake, whether he will admit it now or not. That's aside from the injury, of course. He was 7 for 11 before he got hurt, which is pretty darn good. I don't count the passes he threw after that, because if was obvious that he couldn't physically throw the ball after that. Honeslty, I'm still more worried about the pass protection right now than Jake. He can't keep taking those kind of hits and survive the season.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
