Saints Ian Book: “I want to play like Drew Brees” (1 Viewer)

[ndcc]

Just like Drew, Ian wants to:

- go through progressions rapidly
- put the ball in a tight window

He said that he grew up watching Drew, and patterned his game after him.

This mini-presser was this past Aug., and Book’s comments about Drew are at about the 4:30 mark.

He needs to be accurate on the short passes and the Saints will be fine.

He's the Heir. He's the Mac Jones to Tom Brady.

We lost.

I hope he just be himself and not try to pressure, the coaches will game plan to his strengths. Good Luck Ian!

The kid is a rookie and has never started a game in the NFL so... I'd temper my expectations and hope the defense plays lights out again.

If the WRs and remaining TE catch the football, Book should be fine

You never know what will happen . I remember watching the Patriots game where Bledsoe got drilled on the sidelines and Brady came in and the rest is history. If Book gets his chance and he is the real deal then that would e huge for the future of the Saints

Brady also had his head coach and starting lineup

Well, if Miami's like us when we're playing a rookie QB with no experience ... THEY'RE TOAST!

Funny, I want the same thing...

Going off of his college highlights and the Senior Bowl, nothing impresses me about Book. I see way too much, first progression, maybe second, and then take off running. I don't see much 3 step drop and get rid of the ball. No quick passes at all. Also holds on to the ball too long. Of course he is a rookie and I know the coaches can coach him up but I will just wait and see.

I sure wish SP would have noticed all that when he was watching his highlights and senior bowl. He must have missed it.

It's sad that I feel this way, but after being flamed so many times earlier this season when I wanted to try Book when it became obvious Siemian wasn't going to get it done, I don't have much to say other than I've always thought the kid had a chance, which is why I wanted to see what he could do at a point we only had him and Siemian. And I'm sure I'll get flamed away at, because at times SR has become very FB like. But Geaux Book! Who Dat gonna get it done. I believe!
