I could never forget your avatar. One of my all-time favorite movies. The kind that you are forced to watch from whatever point it is at when you come across it while flipping through channels. :D

And, yeah, I'd be shocked if we don't work something out with Winston. It would be the best scenario for both parties.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

How do you know this? Someone could make Jameis a better financial offer. Better for him. You throw around your opinion as if it's fact - still - NPD...little speedo strikes again!

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Unless Jimmy G is more appealing to the Saints front office & coaching staff than Winston.

This is the NFL. Prepare for the unexpected.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Anything is possible, but it would make me no less shocked.

Mike Triplett seems to agree.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Using the media to support yourself and blasting the media when it makes you fit in with the group eh? Of course I'll be sure to point out your hypocrisy as we go little speedo...

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

I think we are getting to the point now that if Jameis is not resigned by the Saints that it would be a crushing blow. I do feel that Jimmy G could be a good fit, but I really don't see the 49ers trading him to an NFC team, especially one that would likely make the playoffs.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

IMO, I think that either would be about at the same level, lower first tier or upper middle of the pack.

I just think expediency in a decision and signing is super important.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Another good breakdown by Triplett on the QB decision

They just cleared another $12MM.

I'm sure Jameis will happen on their schedule.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Good interview here.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Sean isn't here anymore. Hmmm, where did I hear that before...?

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

I’m slightly annoyed we haven’t signed Jameis. Especially with all these Jimmy G rumors circulating.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

They may have to wait until after the restructures are finished. Perhaps they have something worked out but not shared with the league office yet. They have to be at the cap figure by the 16th, Wednesday.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Maybe they are in the "mix" for D Watson :p

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

I can rock with that.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

There's always Kaepernick. He's says he's primed and ready.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Wow! Vegas now has Winston as odds on favorite at -110 as signing with the Saints. +220 was the best I'd seen until today. I wonder if they know something all of the sudden.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

It's the fact that the teams he may have gone have filled the position.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

This. Kinda have to wonder why. I thought he would be on the top of most teams list.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Idk. Maybe he didn't really wow anyone last year. He had a good TD vs Int ratio (14 - 3). But he averaged just over 160 yards per game and only eclipsed 250 yards once while completing less than 60% of his passes in 7 games.

I know our receivers sucked. So there's that.

Just food for thought is all.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

He didn't. I'm not convinced it was all his fault - in fact with our oline and lack of WRs and Sean's clear handcuffing Jameis was playing seriously reserved.

But the numbers weren't good offensively.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Good points and that's all that other teams see, film and stats. Our coaches sees everything else, the work put in, how he leads, how he acts in position meetings and so on.

Good.

Didn't want him in New Orleans. He's a glorified back up at this level.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

I doubt we had any interest in Trubisky, but the Steelers definitely had interest in Winston.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

So sayeth twitter... :rolleyes:

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Landing spots for Jameis have basically been narrowed to the Colts and ourselves. I'd rather have him, the talent we'd have to trade away, and the free agents we can afford over Watson even disregarding the distractions of the lawsuits.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

The cap doesn't matter so the FA we can 'afford' would be any of them, eh speedo? Or have you come to your limited senses by now?

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

To be fair we don't know the level of talent we'd trade away. And if we get Watson for a decade, it's arguably a great deal for US.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Locking down that position with a dynamic guy like that has to be worth the loss. I never was one to sweat dealing draft picks and, if we lose a few key players then train up the next group I guess - I'm not sure I could be mad about it. Teams go decades trying to find the QB to build around right?

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Can we slip them that Popeyes Sammich guy, Ruiz and some other former first rounder disappointing to us but significant player in their eyes? :confused:

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

I'm wunderin ifem sammiches play into his cap hit? Either the team is supplying them and they are part of compensation or he asked for a mil a year to cover them....

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

Nor do we know what we'll get out of Watson himself. He has a fairly limited body of work. His last season played he managed a 4-12 record as the starting QB. Then he refused to play the following season. He is staring a potential six game suspension in the face now that the criminal angle is out of the way. Houston is demanding young starting players in return ... of their choice. Not to mention the loss of key draft capital.

It's a huge gamble that could cripple our franchise for years. I'll still be a huge fan if it happens, but I am extremely concerned that it could blow up in our face.
