JW doesn't have much to work with at the moment but I do like the pick up of Stills.

Next year, drafting a WR within the first 2 rounds should be a priority. Hindsight is 20/20 but I never liked the Ruiz pick. Claypool, Brandon Aiyuk & Van Jefferson were available to us. All I see them doing is catching passes and moving the chains.

If Mike returns healthy we should have a three WR set WRx Thomas/Callaway, WRz Harris/Stills, WRs Montgomery/Hogan, that's not too shabby...

Just seems like for Team Winston, there's always another reason 'round the corner to make excuses for Jameis' ineffectiveness this season...

Packers game was an outlier, and now that teams have that film, there's nothing demonstrating a consistent ability to methodically work downfield...

Brees, for all intent and purpose did it with far less; he really didn't have a healthy Thomas at all; could only get Sanders the ball on back shoulder, curls...

Say what you want about Cook, but he disappeared because he's overrated and only made big catches like Tre'Quan - because he was unguarded...

Reality is this, it's still early this season for Winston, we should have a better picture by the BYE, but we have five years of film on Winston's processing inability in the pocket...

Bigger Question - if Sean could take a reconstructed-shouldered Brees, make him the NFL's All-Time Passer, why are the brakes being pumped on a more talented Winston?

But I let the Winston apologists keep making their arguments, but eventually they'll wear out or run out of excuses until he gets it or Payton comes to Arians' conclusion...
