Re: I hope we don't trade up.
 

Wow! You are all over the place and it's almost all wrong.

1. Romo wasn't drafted. He was a college free agent.
2. Brady was drafted in the 6th round, not the 7th.
3. What does Teddy have to do with any of this? Hint: Teddy just got traded to the Broncos.
4. Franchise QBs don't just fall off trees in any round, including the first. There are exactly 0 QBs drafted between 2011 and 2016 (including Winston) that remain with the team that drafted them.

Frankly, I'm disgusted at your dismissiveness of Winston as a franchise QB. Winston has more TDs and only 2 less wins than Brees did when he arrived here in 2006. One was lauded as the savior of the franchise, which he turned out to be. The other dismissed as a massive failure. Makes no sense to me.

Winston may not be a HOF QB like Brees or Brady. But I think it's dumb to dismiss as a potential franchise a QB that has pulled off game winning drives and 4th quarter comebacks. A QB that threw for 5000+ yards and 33 TDs in his last full season. Let's not forget that Tampa was a mess 12 games into last season until Brady essentially took the reigns as GM and offensive coordinator and turned the ship around. But he brought 20 years of championship experience and the best coaching in the league into that mix. Jameis up until now has been mired in a mess of changing coaches and schemes with no rhyme or reason.

But he has CSP and Loomis now. An experienced championship team that knows what they are doing and puts QBs into the best position to win.

I advise stop running around with your hair on fire, let CSP, Loomis, and Ireland do what they do in the draft, and look forward to a different, but hopefully excellent Postbreesian (tm to Guido) era of Saints football.

Re: I hope we don't trade up.
 

Bravo! And many have said as much before. You don’t throw for 5,000 yards and 33 TDs if you aren’t a “starting QB” , I don’t care if it came with 30 INTs.

Re: I hope we don't trade up.
 

It's a lot easier to teach someone how not to lose a game than to win one. Winston can be coached to throw the ball away, or take a sack, or to simply dump off to the outlet. In Tampa due to poor scheme and poor line, he had to play hero ball all the time.

Re: I hope we don't trade up.
 

You are drifting Guido, that is a lot of ifs and I have been replying under the premise of the OP which is that he is preparing for something that is higher in the first round.

I'll go along with you though just for fun. If he does "agree with you" can you please get t it on video? :bng:

Re: I hope we don't trade up.
 

I am absolutely hoping he is planning on something higher in the first round. And I hope like hell it isn't a QB. Then again, I would be shocked if it was. I'll record it when he says it, though, if you wish.

:D
