I’m with you. Winston is the younger, QB. He’s the more talented QB. He’s the more proven QB. He’s the QB that was compared to Peyton Manning when it came to X’s and O’s. He had maturity issues, but Hill has injury issues. He’s a faster version of Tim Tebow. I like him a lot, but there’s no scenario I can envision where Taysom Hill beats out Winston in an open competition.

Come on Rez, just because someone may have a different opinion than you or I shouldn’t automatically result in race being applied. I have been on record for saying that Winston is the better QB while Taysom is a gadget guy. But I definitely can see a scenario where Taysom could beat out Winston..., and it revolves around a QB who has 88 career int’s over 70 games as a starter. And has absolutely nothing to do with his race or even if I like/dislike the guy.

Turning the ball over as a QB will eliminate your team from postseason play almost always. Taysom has a tendency to turn the ball over also, but he just doesn’t have the stats over time that Jameis has. When I hear “We know what Jameis is”, it’s an argument I don’t agree with, but understand. I keep in mind that Tampa performance won’t necessarily result in NoLa performance though. But I’ve always been a believer in the best predictor for future behavior/performance is past behavior/performance.

Bottom line Jameis’ career stats are a double edged sword. They’re his strongest advocate..., and also his greatest detractor.
