New Orleans Saints second-year quarterback Ian Book didn’t have the NFL debut any QB would hope for. He was moved into a starting position while 25 players and several coaches were unavailable due to health and safety protocols.
12 completions on 20 attempts for no touchdowns and two interceptions isn’t the stat line that Book had hoped for in his first action. No quarterback, regardless of number of starts, would like to be sacked eight times either. But for Book, that was his reality.
However, he that reality was only temporary for him. As he looks ahead, the Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins doesn’t define his goals and drive moving ahead.
