It's also Jameis Winston he's just as likely to throw 5ints with 3 pick sixes IMO.

Winston doesn't have to be a hero for the Saints.  If he makes too many poor choices that risk the outcome of the game, I'd expect Payton to pull him in favor of his backup/Swiss Army Knife.

Pretty sure you’ve made several comments about us not taking Fields over Horn.  

Sorry, but you have without a doubt been overtly negative most of the time.  If you put half the effort into focusing on the positive as you do exercising your moderator power, you’d be much more tolerable.  

He is very pesimistic... but there is a lot on this message board that are like that. Just got to take it in doses.

The Stains had an amazing 321 yards of total offense, don't get it twisted that game was more about the Packers lethargy. Also Jones-Brown are the reason 2.1 YPC against any NFL is good run D.

Right but Carolina hasn't manhandled the Saints like that in years is all I'm saying. We should have done to the Jets what they did to the Packers truthfully.

Zero percent chance if we play like we did today. I’m so sick of the Saints but that’s what you get when you have a competent coach and play caller. Either our coaching staff must make a big leap this year or Tepper needs to wipe it clean and find someone who can. Im sick of this team settling for mediocrity and being an afterthought

It’s a QB driven league and we had two high end prospects fall in our laps.   

you really got an issue with people thinking a team allegedly in rebuild mode should draft….a QB?

He wasn't always like that wayyyy back in the day on the scout forums he was even keel.

[Donald LaFell]

Probably not gonna win. This team still feels a year away even if Darnold pans out. 
 

The defense is playoff caliber but they can’t be hamstrung, in today’s NFL we need to be able to win shootouts sometimes. Not going to happen right now.

Slim to none.

Yeah, I would've taken Fields. That doesn't mean I don't like Horn or that I don't expect him to do well.

The overall direction of the franchise hasn't been very positive lately. When it turns positive I'll get more positive.

 

[Carolina Cajun]

not sure, at times we were insanely good, at times we were completely inept.  I can see an outcome anywhere between 32-20 good guys, to 34-10 Inbred fugnuggets.

Exactly.  That is what worries me most is that we allowed a bottom dwelling Jets team hang around and almost mount a comeback.  What does that say about the Panthers coaching staff?

Payton is a proven commodity and the Saints have quite a bit of talent to boot.

I'm not saying the Panthers don't stand a chance, but they're gonna have to play a much better/smarter game next weekend. 

[GRWatcher]

It was hard to tell that the Packers were playing football. LaFleur has a locker room problem IMO.

We can win. Brady needs to put his big boy hat on and call plays Payton won't be expecting. Defense needs to disguise, disguise, disguise and never play soft.  Looks like our new PR took this game to get comfortable and finally stopped hesitating. He needs to keep doing that. It'll be our entire team - coaches and players - being on the same page and outplaying evil wizard Payton for 60 minutes.
