The Saints are going to be garbage. Brees made that team. 
 

The Falcons are going to be the Falcons. If Darnold is able to live up to expectations this team will be competing with TB for the South. 

Those expecting the Saints to collapse now that Brees is gone may be for a surprise. 

Yeah Brees was one of the best QB's in the league, but we also know that Teddy took over for him and did rather well for a stretch of 5 games or so.  

Bottom line:  Saints are a talented team, don't sell them short.

Nah

Every single long pass attempt the reciever had to change his course, turn around, slow down, and/or catch at the hip.  It was a horrible pro day and probably why he dropped like he did.

I think you’re confused as it was almost The most universally praised Pro Days in the league. And this throw was absolutely better than Darnolds.

That was 1 throw.  Media loved him, scouts not so much obviously. I said the same thing the day after the pro day and you made excuses for it.  I think you just blocked out all the bad throws

The question for them next year will be if Winston is going to be feast or famine like he was at Tampa, or can the Saints coaching staff turn him into an effective qb?  

Winston is in a similar situation as Darnold.  We’ll see how much of their previous performance problems were coaching and the supporting players around them and how much they ‘own’ themselves.  Will be interesting to revisit this at the end of the upcoming season.

You literally wrote “every long throw” just a couple posts ago. Media did not love him. That’s where stories about his work ethic came from. I think you, again, are making things up for dramatic effect. Scouts not so much obviously? One of the tweets above literally quotes a scout.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
