I guess for some better performance on the field actually means "until he wins the team a Super Bowl." because that assessment doesn't seem to be based on any actual statistics.

If Winston does exactly what he was doing last year (and I don't think he will. It will be even better.) and plays 17 games healthy, the Saints will win the South and be a high playoff seed in the NFC in 2022.

So, exactly what kind of "performance" are you looking for?

As
I said in another thread, those stats aren’t as telling as they look. 200 yards a game won’t cut it long term. Payton had him on a short leash and we never got to see him in a situation where he had to play from behind. At some point during the season our defense is going to have a bad game. I want to see how he handles playing in spite of his supporting cast.
He’s not going to do exactly what he did last year, he’s a competitor and isn’t going to spend the season playing it safe. Even if he does there’s gonna games where he’s forced to have to take chances.
I like the guy and think he can do it but I’m not 100% sold.
Don’t put words in my mouth with that Super Bowl bull****.
