Well, he’s already familiar with Pete C & the offense.

Time will tell.

That.

Plus he's grown, matured (somewhat) and maybe most important of all - players LOVE him. They'll rally for him.

I'm not in the locker room, just going off what I've seen personally.

Outside of landing a big name QB like Wilson or Watson, Jameis should be able to thrive this year and also allow us $ to surround him with talent.

Winston has a very impressive arm that can bail a team out of bad drives. I am not sold on Winston being able to sustain drives, he was terrible on short passes/screen game, and although the interceptions went down in his 7 starts, the jury is still out regarding his overall decision making.

With all that said, I don't see Rodgers, Wilson, Jimmy G, or D Watson coming to the Saints. By default Winston is the best option that will be available to the Saints, with Bridgewater maybe as the top fallback option.

roflol. If Winston is the qb - the joke is on us.

Smash uploaded a video of the Dennis Allen press conference.

In that conference, Dennis stated he will run the football & create explosive plays. That sounds like JW to me. He executes well off play-action and throws a beautiful deep ball.

I hope Loomis/Dennis/Carmichael's plan is to re sign Jameis. Not because of "default", but by the fact he has won meaningful games in New Orleans, & is extremely familiar with the offense.

Imagine what he could do if he had weapons at WR/TE.

Option B - Kirk Cousins (average QB)? Porn star Jimmy G (choked in the post season)? Marriota (former 1st rounder/now a backup)? Desean? Gonna cost you serious draft capital.

IMO JW is the best possible option for us.

Ditto, ditto, ditto.

Re: Why Jameis Winston is STILL Saints best QB option
 

The team won 9 games last year with Winston or Hill at QB. That was with no WR play, no TE play, very injured Oline play and no kicker for 3/4 of the year. Go along with COVID and hurricane issues.

Now, I’m not trying to argue (as I am repeatedly accused of doing) because you could easily be correct. But what makes you think Winston can’t succeed? Is it just the short game issues?

Don't sweat it - speedo does that to lots of people here. He wears panties.
