What do you hope to see out of the rook for his first regular season start?

No turnovers would be nice
No turnovers and 200 yards and 1 touchdown
I hope he leads us to 22 points at least. Our offense hasn’t put up more than 21 under Rattler for the whole season
He’s gonna be dealing with an insane pass rush. I just want to see him be poised and make the plays on third down that we need.
Just to move the ball and maybe a few deep shots that look good. I’m not expecting much against this D but a little life would be nice
28/30, 345 yards, 4 TDs.
You did say hope.
I see him throwing more downfield and not taking the easy 2-3 yd completions. The defense won’t respect the run, then they should respect the pass. And when the safeties back up, we can pop off a few runs to make them respect that too.
Just survive. Then go beat the pants off the panthers next week
I don’t expect zero turnovers. I hope that’s the case- but he needs to be aggressive and take some chances. If he plays it safe just book Mendoza our starter next year. Unless he plays us out of the top pick, we will get QB next year. So it’ll be very interesting
A 30 yard pass with a 40 yard run after the catch!
What do i hope? A win. What do i expect? A loss and this sub to lose their minds.
Hopefully a scoring drive
Expectations low since he’s a rookie. Hopes high since he’s our rookie
253 64% 2 touchdowns 5 shot throws only 1 TO.
Decisiveness. An understanding of the playbook. Moxie.
I just want him to make the right reads and hit people in stride.
The line will have to help him and the wr group will have to pull its weight.
But I would really like to see some yac yards.
Push the ball down the field.
I wanna keep watching him make reads lightning fast. The Bucs D was trying so hard to disrupt or juke him and he saw it every time.
I want to be entertained
less than 2 ints
No fumbles
Getting back up, the rams d line is nuts without facing our injured to hell o line. He’s gonna take some hits and feel that pressure I just need him to get back up and keep slinging it
496 yards, 7td, 1 int
Looks great
A W. That’s it.
175 yards 1 TD, no TO’s, 67% completion
Accuracy
Zero turnovers.
To both get mauled due to shitty O-line name
I want him to look like he belongs out there. He’s got a lot of the attributes that you’d want in a franchise qb, he now gets the chance to go out and show it.
I’d settle for no pick 6’s.
Anyone think he’s the future Saints QB?
Not sure about what I *hope* to see but the first thing that came to mind was pain.
So I expect to see pain
As a Saints fan in 2025 – hope has abandoned these lands
Healthy finish
I just want to see Juwan Johnson catch AT LEAST HALF the passes that hit him square in the hands.
PAIN
I wanna see what he looks like if he has to play hero ball. This team needs a QB that can carry them, not just manage the team.
What I hope (unrealistically, and it would be totally unfair expectations) is that he can bring the spark that lights the flame that roasts the Rams and we win. I’m OK with a close win but I’m very fine with us winning in a blowout too.
Realistically, I want to see him attack downfield successfully and make overall good decisions. And little things like throwing the receivers open. But I also know that as a rookie, he may make rookie mistakes. There might be some confusing looks and mixups he might fall for. I don’t wanna be too hard on him if that happens, because you need experience and a rookie in his first start doesn’t really have that
I’d like to see some running and jumping and passing and stuff like that.
39/41 528 yards 6 TD
Just that he can move the ball down the field better than Rattler did.
