Remember some fans noting the risk, many ignorant of Bree's injury, but the consensus was they'd had enough of Aaron Brooks inconsistent, mediocre-record play...

Personally liked Brooks, especially after I saw a side of him at the Metairie Best Buy where he innocently played pick-a-boo with my baby girl in the DVD section...

Brooks lost me when both he and Haslett turned on Kyle Turley in the media for KT having his QB's back, letting the Jets know they couldn't give his QB the business...

So Brees was a welcomed change and he certainly didn't have Jameis background of suspect behavior, including rape allegations buried by FSU and the alumni...

No matter, Winston's apologists will continue the effort to insulate Winston from criticism; no matter, these were very different situations with little to no parallels...

Brees often played with receivers that would struggle to make other rosters, and yet he produced at an elite level; Winston apparently needs a better supporting cast...

Let's see Winston play under the same scrutiny as other NFL QBs and let him earn the appropriate praise and/or criticism that his play will deserve to receive...

You covered a couple different points here JP. Some I agree with some not. My take(s):

While I appreciate his helping us in winning our first playoff game, I never could fully get behind Brooks. To me he never had his head/attitude in the game. His smiling on the sidelines after throwing an Int was the final
straw for me. Nice story about him and your daughter. Though.

You mention the scrutiny Brees played under; was your point that Winston has not had scrutiny? If so I disagree. I think he’s had more. Also not sure about your apologists insulating him comments.

It wasn’t until late in his career that Brees had subpar receivers. Thomas, Meacham, Henderson, Colston, Stills, Snead, Graham, Shockey, Cooks, Sanders (not to mention great receiving backs) all were quality players that could/did play for other teams.
