I can see it, even though I know Hill would never beat Winston in an open competition. He’s just so loved.

I don't see either as a viable future. Sure, either can do okay. Both are free next year, as are the Saints. It's wait and see for a year. Hell, the preseason isn't over yet. We can still pick up another via draft.

I believe in Jameis Winston. I believe in his arm talent, football IQ, and work ethic. I believe in him as a leader as well. He might be the most talented QB to ever put on the uniform. Of course, Brees in his prime is the better QB. That’s without question, but Winston has the skill level to really shock the world. Right now, I believe Winston is a better QB than Brees.

I wish I had your confidence. That would be a pleasant surprise. I'm expecting Bobby Hebert, Billy Joe Tolliver, Aaron Brooks.

From a physical talent standpoint there is no question. As far as intelligence and football IQ Winston doesn’t come close. Drew has likely forgotten more about football than Winston knows.

That stated... I like Winston and believe he is the future. With Payton Winston could turn into a great QB, but the beauty is he only needs to be good and we’ll be fine.

You gotta remember, when Winston was coming out of college they were comparing his football IQ to Peyton Manning. Mariucci said he was one of the most astute X’s and O’s guys he had ever seen. His Wonderlic was 1 point shy of both Manning and Brees. If you ask me, we got a steal. Keep that pocket clean and we’re going to the ship.

I have a slightly different take, not on Winstons capabilities but on his possible ceiling. I don’t recall anyone suspecting Drew Brees would become why he did while he was with San Diego which changes the formulation for me. Maybe.... just maybe Sean Payton was the factor that put Drew over the top and just maybe he can take Winston there as well?

As far as for public opinion, more than one B&G member didn’t want or believe in Drew Brees in 2006.

The ONLY things that gives me pause are the fact that his contract is 1 year and no other team in need scooped him up with a cheap multi year contract... I won’t speculate as to why, smarter football people that me are making those decisions I just recognize them as flags.
