Yet no one wrote Brett Favre off after that year. It’s simply a misnomer that his stats are that bad. Why did Favre, Elway, Manning and others get passes for seasons with negative 5, 6 or more Ints to TD seasons and Winston is branded for his career for a season he threw for 5,000 and had a +3 TD number? Answer me that simple question please ! Anyone!

Who is giving him a pass? If those QB’s were on the Saints rosters after having horrible seasons wrt interceptions, I would be making the EXACT same argument that I am now. Those QB’s are all retired though, their stats and careers are history..., aka the past. What we’re discussing is the future. And anybody who says I don’t trust Winston to not throw a crapton of int’s has a legitimate point.

Winston could be the best thing in a Saints uni since crunchy peanut butter was introduced to the consumer market, lol. Entirely possible, entirely possible the opposite will happen. It’s not fair to compare already finished and completed careers to one that is in process. We, at least I, just don’t know the future. You know my arguments, lol, I’ve been very critical of Drew Brees this past year, and was called a “hater” many times, just for my criticism of his arm strength and ability to push the ball vertically. First ballot HOFer or not, the guy I want starting at QB is not the guy who says:

“I can’t make that throw,
I can’t make that throw,
I know I can’t make that throw,
I can’t make that throw...,
What do I have left in my toolbox”

I’m excited about the future, Hill, Winston..., or heck, maybe even Ian Book, or someone else!

May the best player get the start, stay healthy, and lead the Saints to many championships!!!

As far as Winston’s stats go? 88 int’s in 70 starts. That’s more than one int every game he’s started. Bad? That’s subjective. Me? I’m not ok with turning the ball over that much. You may evaluate turnovers differently though.
