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.

After being run out of town the best deal he got was a one year, 1 million $ deal with us. We did not sign him immediately this year so the rest of the league had their chances to make him a substantially bigger/longer deal than our 1 YEAR deal that we signed him on, but no one stepped up and did it. Not a lot of confidence by NFL execs, why should normal fans do as well? ![]()
Look, after initially hating his signing I myself find myself hopeful and optimistic Sean can work his magic, but I get the concern, and I can understand the doubt. |

It's clear that CSP deliberately kept Winston under wraps last year giving minimal new tape to evaluate with for the rest of the league. At the same time he got to see the dude in practice every day for a year.![]()
My understanding is that the Bears offered him more money and years and he declined the offer. So, it's not like there was no interest. It's OK to be skeptical. This is a new QB coming into a system that has run like clockwork for 15 years. But that's not what's happening here. It's a dismissive refusal to acknowledge that Winston could be a productive capable franchise QB in CSP's system. QBs on bad franchises always seem to get a bad rap. Look at Tannehill in Miami as an example. Put in a better system became a much more productive QB. CSP, Loomis, and Ireland have built a consistent winning franchise. I'd rather trust their judgement on the draft and the QB situation than random internet dudes who seem to have an axe to grind. SFIAH |
