If that was meant for me I am in no way pulling against JW. I’m just not drinking the koolaid. The dude is 2nd string at best

BS. Your attitude and statements towards him make it clear you do not want him to succeed.

It's just his opinion. JW has to prove it. I'm not a believer in him right now either. The guy is an interception machine and doesn't seem very intelligent.

Why would he not want him to succeed?

I'll tell you this, I've never been a fan of the guy. Ever. Big deal.

But if he comes in and tears it up, I'll eat crow. But imo, if the front office saw something more in him, he'd have a bigger contract. Not a 1 year prove it deal.

Just my 2 cents.

I have no problem with doubting Winston. I doubt him too. But VD has gone way overboard in his criticism IMO. He’s exaggerated Winston’s turnovers, falsely claimed he was benched for Hill, makes hyperbolic statements about going undefeated and ignores any valid statistical observation about his performance when compared to other QBs. Doubting is one thing, blindly repeating “he sucks” with no other input is a personal grudge.

Ok his turnovers are easily looked up. 30 ints his last year starting. That’s all I need to know. And as him being benched for hill, what would you call it? He played like crap and hill replaced him

You can't "bench" a QB that never started a game. Brees and Hill are the only two QB's that started a game for the Saints last season. Before the season Payton laid out the plan to start Hill if Brees was unable to go, but planned to bring in Winston if Brees got injured during a game. That is exactly how it played out.

It made perfect sense. Hill practiced all week every week for his role as Joker. Winston took second team snaps. In a given week Winston was better prepared to take over mid-game based upon that week's game plan. On the other hand, Hill was much more entrenched into the full playbook and it made sense for him to be the starter if Brees was unable to go.

As for Winston's 30 picks, it was double his average from previous seasons and came under Bruce Arians whose philosophy was to take chances downfield.

If that’s “All you need to know” then that’s ignorant and short sided. Winston’s 30 Int season came with 33 TDs, 5000 yards and a 7-9 record. In 2005, Favre had 29 INTs (that’s only 1 less BTW) with only 20 TDS, less than 4,000 yards and a 4-12 record. Would your “all you need to know” attitude thrown in the towel on Favre?

Trash is an overstatement. He’s far from trash. Trash is Mason Rudolph or Chase Daniel. Some career back up that’s never accomplished anything. Winston is talented af.
