Luke Johnson | Saints pick Jameis Winston to succeed Drew Brees as starting quarterback

Thirty3 · 08-28-2021, 11:15 AM

Has anyone noticed the lack of enthusiastic posts? Rah rah yeah Winston is our guy!? I hope he gets his head on right but I personally still believe that by mid season Taysom is the QB.

Winston would really have to play poorly to be benched. It's not even close as to who won the QB competition and I don't believe that Payton will let Winston make enough dumb decisions to lose his job to Taysom.

He'll be starting much sooner than that if Winston's interception rate isn't low. I don't think coach will tolerate 10 picks in 4 games kinda stats. I also think Winston is well aware of this.

I agree which is why I think he’ll lose the job

Why do you think he will suddenly begin to play poorly? Because of the offensive schemes in Tampa he did have a year with quite a few interceptions (his only year with Bruce "No risk it, no biscuit" Arians as head coach), but he has never played what one would call poorly. He had 121 TD's and almost 20,000 yards passing in his five years. Those are extremely good numbers on a poor team.

Suddenly? I think it for many reasons like staring down about every receiver against Jville. Won’t work against good defense. The guy can pass but it takes more than that to play QB. Hoping Our coaches have helped him bu I want to see it. Wishing him well- just don’t expect it.

You willing to put money on that? Short of injury to Winston or having our playoff position set in week 18, I see the chances as zero that Hill gets a start this season. I'd love a little extra cash.

And you must have conveniently ignored the positive posts on Winston's being named starter. Personally I expect him to tear it up.

Don’t gamble. Positive posts NOT exited posts.

Interesting thought. Maybe it is because people are cautiously optimistic/secretly afraid of the future without Brees (post Breesian to quote Guido). I think most people (like myself) here wanted One of the quarterbacks to step forward and clearly shine. Neither one really did. those that thought Winston would clearly be that guy (like myself) have not been vindicated. It was tough to tell with each QB working against two teams of different defensive strengths. It’s gonna be even more strange without the 3rd preseason game.

Opening opponent in Green Bay is obviously a tough one. Let’s hope the fans and the team get it done.

Winston looked great! Both QB's have looked very good. And this with splitting first team reps. Winston will now get all first team reps and I expect him to be one of the better QB's in the league. It's a short list of QB's I'd rather have in the league today than Winston at this point in his career.

20-0 Baby!
