That would have been interesting if Mason Graham would have fallen to #9 in that scenario.

The then 3-12 Raiders travelled halfway across the country through two time zones, walked off the plane 12 hours before kickoff, and proved themselves superior to this Saints team. The Bucs could play with their eyes closed and still probably cover the spread.

Elite QBs do that, too. I was watching the KC vs. BUF game and Romo made a "He'd like to have that one back" type comment at least a couple times regarding the QB play.

It's hard to access him with this on-line, but he doesn't look good. Nothing looks good right now. The run game is just as terrible. I stopped watching in the 2nd quarter.
Kamara averaged 6.7 ypc yesterday.
Miller averaged 5.3.
Taysom averaged 5.0.

The average success rate was around 81% for fgs between 40-49 yds in 2023. Do you consider 81% a chip shot average? If not that's where we disagree.
The success rate for 46 yard FGs in 2023 was 73.7%, quite a bit below the 81% you tried to deceptively use here by using the whole 40-49 yard range. 40 yard FGs had a success rate of 86.3%, so that's a big difference going back 6 yards from 40 to 46.
25 yard FGs (what most consider the long end of chip shot range) had a success rate of 98.6%. In no reasonable terms is a 46 yard FG considered a chip shot.

In college. Not the nfl. The average is 74%. Grupe was below average all season. 81% average verses the league average of 84%. That's the difference between a game or two.
It absolutely is for the good to great fg kickers in the league. Unless you want to bullshite to me that Grupe is good you don't know shite about NFL football.
You are a bonafide football idiot. No one with a football IQ over 50 refers to a 46 yard FG, not to mention an outdoors one, as a chip shot. That is reserved for short FGs, which 46 yards is definitely considered not.

Why Is It Called A Chip Shot?
The reason that a short field goal was given the name chip shot is because of its similarities of a golfing chip shot.
When a golfer puts his ball close but not onto the green he must then chip the golf ball. When chipping a golf ball the golfer will only swing his club roughly a quarter of the way through his backswing.
Since the distance to the green is so short the player does not need to utilize a full swing. Additionally, the flight of chips is often a short high arching shot.
There are even golf clubs called “chippers” the create a short high flying shot with only a light swing of the club.
This is almost identical to the situation field goal kickers find themselves in on short field goals. They are not quite in the endzone so only a small amount of yardage is required.
Yet they still need to raise the ball above the defenders in order for it not to be blocked. To do this the kicker will hit a short but high arching kick through the uprights.
How Short Is A Chip Shot Field Goal?
Though there is no set distance on how long a chip shot field is it is safe to say it must be roughly twenty-five yards or less.

You didn't watch the game.
Pete had awful playcalling and jameis leading a go ahead chip shot fg that was missed. But yeah jameis lost that game lol
You are obviously the one who did not watch the game. No one who knows anything about football would say that 46 yards is a "chip shot FG." Yes, that loss fell a LOT on Winston. Ironically enough, people still use it to criticize Carr since he was the starting QB on record and took the L in the record books.

A backup quarterback..
Exactly. They had a much higher priced backup QB last season who couldn't hold on to a 17 point lead. Peterman is a guy who could not hold on to it for much cheaper. :lol:
re: I think Winston stays here this season!

Given what the Saints saw from Winston last season, they might as well just elevate Haener to back-up. Kubiak could very well see Haener as a better fit for the system that he wants to implement anyway.

They did let a few DPIs go that should have been called on the Rams early. Especially 1 against Dan Arnold in the endzone that would have led to an early TD
They straight up let Nickell Robey-Coleman hold Ted Ginn Jr. without a penalty on the first play of the 4th quarter -- 3rd & 7 with the Saints driving past mid-field up by 3.

Taysom Hill, full time QB > Derek Carr
Given what we have seen from the QBs during the season, is Taysom Hill full-time QB the best QB on the roster? I wouldn't have posed that question before the season, but now it's very much not a crazy thing to ask.

Except when Evans made him his bitch in the first quarter and the fact that he got blocked/manhandled on the outside on a QB scramble, sure...
Evans had 3 catches (on 3 targets) for 40 yards in the first half and I don't think he played the second half, did he? You would kind of have to say that this round went to Evans.

Hill can always "stub his toe" coming off the field.
Lots of ways to "fake" an injury if the worst occurs.
Given the NFL's fairly recent stance of being on the lookout to punish players for faking injuries (remember what happened to Cam Jordan last season), I don't think that the Saints would try to have Taysom do that. I think they would just ride with him for the remainder of that game and then prep Jameis to start the following week if Carr's injury were to keep him out then.

Has he taken a snap at QB? Is he even a possibility at QB depth? I'd take him over Jamie any day to move the chains.
When the announcers were talking about the Fresno St. connection with Carr and Haener, they cut to Carr cheering him on from the sideline and it was at least a little bit interesting that Taysom was right there beside him.
