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.
