ESPN's Marcus Spears: Saints still a playoff team with Jameis Winston at QB

How confident are you that Jameis Winston can lead the New Orleans Saints back to the playoffs — assuming he even defeats Taysom Hill for the starting quarterback job in training camp?

ESPN’s Marcus Spears is one national analyst putting his faith in the former first overall draft pick, telling the Spun’s Chris Rosvoglou, “I expect the Saints to make the playoffs, and I expect him not to turn the ball over a lot.”

That’s been the top flaw for Winston throughout his career, even going back to his Heisman Trophy-winning campaign at Florida State. NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill has shared a lot of clarifying context into Winston’s staggering interceptions (88) and fumbles totals (50), but at the end of the day he’s still been too careless with the football.

Spears expects Winston to flourish in a better situation than where he started with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, adding: “He just needed to digest the game without having to play it. When you get taken first overall and have to play right away, you’re learning on the fly and never get to sit back and learn the game the right way.”
