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.

No, those were positive vibes. I loved me some Billy Joe.

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 been on the same page and liked your analysis rezburna over the years, the exception your position on Brees the past couple of years.. I hope everything you and others have said prasing Winston shows up on the field. Like others have question about judgment and character in the past but if he’s our guy in the huddle I’m pulling for him. I think next season will be a triple e-ticket rollercoaster ride.

This. Now Payton has a QB that can put the ball anywhere on the field and was said to have a very high football IQ. I am very excited to see what he can do with a full year with Payton working with him. The talent is definitely there and it’s one of the reasons I’m against getting rid of Armstead. Let’s stabilize the line and give Winston a fair shot. This is a win-win for us no matter how you look at it.
