If Coach Payton Pulls This Off

Just thinking it's the start of the 2021 season Drew has retired and a new era of Saints Football starts. So how in the world did we wind up with Jameis Winston as potentially our starting QB. Not so long ago the news that the Saints signed Jameis was more than a shock to most of us. Really Jameis from the Bucs the finger licking guy, the INT guy are you serious..
Well time goes by like it always does so it's starting to all sink in now. But watching him play Monday night was more than encouraging. Now the season is way early yet and lot of things are going happen.
But I guess what baffles me is how did the Coach see this early on, I guess after all he pursued Brees and we know how that all turned out.

But as an old Coach of mine always said when he was questioned.
"You see Son this is why you have the Jock and I have the Whistle"..

If Jameis goes on to have a nice career in NOLA and Brady retires in a few years, Bucs had their SB with Brady but would then lose out in the long run. That would be fun.

The only drawback to Winston winning the QB job is he will need to be re-signed after this season. Of course, if the Saints win it all- no one will care. If Winston proves his mettle though, I anticipate he would be tagged at the end of the season.

Most/all of Brees' money comes off the books after this year, so I think we will have a little more room to manage it than right now.

We swept them in the regular season last year and look how well that worked out for us.

Tampa defense was allowed to do "press coverage", which is basically PI. And Brees' arm is toast at the end of the season where he couldn't keep defenses honest with the, not deep, but longer throws.

It would sweet indeed if SP has another successful reclamation in Jameis. Hope springs eternal. We'll see this year. If successful how many teams in the NFL would be envious besides the Tamp Bay Bucs? How did the FailClowns feel when they gave up on Brett Favre?

Those are the spoils of the victor. Would you rather suffer through middling QBs as many teams are currently doing?

Also since Coach Payton came to New Orleans he has always had Brees behind center.
If Jameis is successful that could answer the long standing question of Sean's dependence on Drew.

Win or lose in the playoffs, it’s still better to sweep a division rival during the season than to be swept... no?

Fun fact:

Tampa Bay has won two Super Bowl titles after getting swept by a divisional foe (Saints) during the regular season ... 2002 & 2021.
