In addition, by giving Taysom a true opportunity with demonstrated results to show that the position didn't belong to him. I think this is important for every stakeholder, especially Taysom-stans.
While a few will still bark that Taysom should be under center, the evidence is pretty clear. That gives Jameis the authority to lead the Saints in 2021, and hopefully into the next era of Saints football with confidence. SFIAH |

I heard somewhere the other day that Winston lead all QBs in pre-season QBR. Not sure if it’s true or not, but take that for what you will.

But I had not considered how he was almost surely challenged with and motivated by the idea that this time he was going to have to pay the monthly note if he wanted the car. Can't blame him. He really is gifted enough to have never had to face that.
There are plenty of reasons to get behind Winston and pull hard for him. Sure sounds like his teammates are on board. Taysom will get another shot, probably somewhere else, and I'll pull for that guy too. I do believe this team will not regret letting Winston play. I am officially excited to watch him go out and prove a few things. |
