"He's doing well," Payton said. "I'm pleased. ... He's a quick study and I think the (quarterback) room's doing well. I think right away, you can tell he got comfortable with what we're calling things, protections."

I guess I underestimated Teddy. I really didn't expect him to pick up the offense in just a couple weeks. That's impressive.

I don’t think Teddy’s future here will come down to whether or not he can learn the offense. With the weapons we have, he’ll  be able to move us down the field. He’ll be able to do a lot of the pre snap adjustment Payton wants to see and make the easy reads.

Where Teddy is gonna need to improve for this system is pushing the ball down the field. It’s really that simple IMO but we’ll find out soon. He can dink and dunk with the best of them, but lacks the killer instinct Brees and Payton have developed over time.

@Dome I agree and I hope he learns that from Brees and Payton. I wasn't sure how I felt at first but I think I would like to see him remain a Saint well into the future.

Man what if he turns out to be our QBOTF!? That would be like a one in a million chance it seems. I'm excited for this kid, I hope he stays with us.
