Have seen the obsession of Winston one season with Arians that you refer, but I've looked at his five years and wasn't impressed with his development, progression... In so far as the comparison to Favre, Favre really played in two different eras of NFL football...

Re: The Jameis Winston Doubters Parallel the Drew Brees Doubters of 2006
Agree that he has no excuses (maybe his injury) now. On paper he has the tools at WR. He should be able to get near his 5000 yard, 33 Td season while still keeping TOs down. The improved D (vs what he had in Tampa) should ensure that.
That being said I am a little worried about the RB situation, esp if Kamara has a suspension. If not he he is still likely to miss a handful of games with injuries. So, I say we have a few question marks at RB. I also don’t like our TE situation unless the Krull steps up. So the RB and TE question marks are worrisome issues just like Winston had at Tampa even though he had good WRs. i do think Payton drilled into him to not thrown INTs..so that kept him down. But so did the lack of quality receivers and TEs. Maybe Payton told him to keep things in check because he felt he didn’t have TEs or WRs that could be trusted to make plays. That happened to Drew in the playoff loss to tampa…his TE fumbled and his WRs weren’t stepping up without a healthy Thomas. You are right though that the proof will be on the field. I am very optimistic. |
You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora

Re: The Jameis Winston Doubters Parallel the Drew Brees Doubters of 2006
Since this is a Winston thread, mentioning Hill brings up another point; Winston still has never had a full training camp/preseason/ under the Saints where he was the number 1 and got to run with the first stringers without sharing time. That’s a big disadvantage for him and Another thing people forget about him.

We also just added Kahale Warring who's got a poor history of staying healthy, but he's athletically a dancing bear; fingers crossed? Krull left Florida because he was stuck behind Kyle Pitts on the depth chart so he transferred to Pitt and though he only had one season, it was an impressive one... Quietly optimistic about the depth of the TE position; but as we get into Training Camp/PreSeason, you may recall this conversation... |
