I'll take nine to ten years of good QB play and worry about trying to find the next one once he says he's thinking of hanging it up. 

I really like everything about his game i've seen. Great footwork, comfortable in the pocket, looks like he can make reads, can run it if needed but doesn't default to that like some other guys. I can't come up with a knock besides his age which still gives you an 8-10 year window if he does work out

8-10 years is the ceiling.  Many QBs go well past 35 if they play well.  Brady, Brees and Rodgers just to name a few.  Like someone mentioned before.  I'd take 8-10 years of good QB play.  Hell right now I'd take 5 good years.

a lot of help reading the defense

Explain this?  Who's giving him help reading the defense.  Who's your choice at QB?  Usually when someone comes up with a statement like this, they are grasping for things to find wrong with a player so they can have the QB they want. 

I watched most of the game.  Hooker wore out a top 3 team.  52 points against a team that is expected to compete for a National Title.  It's not like he managed the game.  He moved them roughly 40 yards into FG range is 16 seconds.

Please continue to nitpick.

The WR’s are placed wide, outside the numbers to limit numbers in the box. Easier to read the defense and a lot of open ground if you make it past the DL. 

The WR are harder to double when outside the numbers. I think all the open ground makes it easier on the WR to break into the open ground just outside the TE

Did you ever consider this might be the OCs call because of film study?  If your opinion is this, is the only way to help a QB why doesn't everyone use it?  

With this type of offense, it also opens up to relying on your offensive line to protect you.  Meaning the QB has to have the discipline to stand up in the pocket and make the throws.  The QB has to know the routes and coverage and who is most likely to be in single coverage.  There probably is more reading to do than a traditional offense.

It's a weak argument but, like I said earlier I think you have a preferred QB and don't want anyone to screw it up so you nitpick his skills.  

He may not be a perfect QB but IMO his performance yesterday opened a lot of eyes and he'll start to be in the conversation of a 1st round QB.

I think people are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about his age. It's less about the possible length of his career, and more about how much more he can improve from where he is. He's older, which could mean he is closer to his ceiling than someone younger would be.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
