Yeah but Taysom is also a good skill player for the Saints in general, who they sorely missed yesterday. Especially in the red zone. He'll deff be back, but I don't see them defaulting to him at QB just because of that salary. They'll have an open competition between him and a vet I'm sure, Jameis or otherwise. I hope we can retain him, I'm ready for the madness..

Feel so bad for Brees on how it ended, just falling apart at the Dome like that. He FINALLY gets the D he always needed to win playoff games back when he was carrying this team in his prime...but it was just a couple years too late. Tragic.

I think another part that bums me out about this 2017-2020 window they had is, unlike the previous contending core they had - lets say 2006-2013 - is I truly believe this version of them was built to win outdoors on the road in the playoffs...and we just never got to see it, ever. All 7 playoff games they had in that time were in domes: 6 in N.O. and 1 in Minnesota.

Brees' last game ever being against Rodgers for the NFCCG in snowy Lambeau would have been so perfect (aside from the probable L), sucks thats not happening. Team always had the "soft, southern dome team" label that can't win in the cold, they finally get the squad to do it IMO, and they just never get to prove it. I would have loved to watch a big Saints playoff game in those conditions. Sigh...

EDIT: and I'm not going to keep flooding this thread with long azz Saints posts, don't worry haha.. just had to get those 2 out. Plus Saints seem to be the main discussion in here today anyway
