SwampyMux12 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 IDK if you wanna call Dalton the backup, because he has outplayed Winston, but let's face it, at this point in his career, Dalton is a placeholder QB. He can still have good games, but there's no way the Saints will not be looking to upgrade the QB position this offseason. Winston has historically given us fits anyway, so we are probably better off with Dalton playing. Lamar Jackson is the wild card... he may or may not play. He'll probably play, but who knows? He has a sprained PCL, so it may hinder him either way. Sounds like he probably won't go this weekend vs the Browns, so we'll see about the following week. Murray is done for the season, full stop. That didn't look good last night, we'll 100% be seeing Colt McCoy vs the Cardinals. These are 3 games we can win, would be great to at least get 2 of them. We also would need the Bucs to lose 1 more game and the Panthers to turn back into the Panthers Kaptain Krazy and Freddies 3rd Cuz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsJustMe Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Let's just see how Ridder goes (hopefully well) not trying to project anything past his play at this point.

DonDaLuvMaker Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Lamar Jackson having a sprained PCL is huge because his running is way more valuable than his passing. His entire game is set up through his legs. 4LoveoftheGame, Herr Doktor and SwampyMux12 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PriMeTiiMe Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 In falcons fashion we will win these next 2, the Panthers and bucs will lose at least 1. We will be sitting in 1st place going into the final 2 games and super excited after beating the Ravens. We will then proceed to get our doors blown off by the colt Mccoy led Cardinals.

dirtybirds233 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I'll wait to get excited about things falling into place after this weekend. None of it matters if the Falcons can't beat the Saints or if the Bucs beat the Bengals. Even if the Falcons go 4-0, the Bucs have to go 2-2. So if they beat the Bengals then one of the Cards or Panthers would have to beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can still win, just pointing out that the "backup QB" angle is fairly thin if your looking for positivies. PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking at it like Ridder was always going to be "the guy" and Mariota was just keeping his place warm while he was learning. But in reality you guys are right 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
