Lance Moore input on Dalton versus Winston

Just because Jameis can throw the ball down the field, doesnt mean he should. That seems to be a big issue, that and not being able to read defenses or throw accurate intermediate passes.

As Major said, this should have been addressed when Brees was under center. We need to draft a QB and not go into the following seasons expecting a huge improvement with the same cast of underachievers.

Something that the organization should have looked at more closely while Brees was still under center.

They actually did try to address it, albeit unsuccessfully. Is that a knock on SP and Loomis or a matter of circumstance and fate?

Did they attempt to address it? Yes.
Did the try (put forth sweat equity and investment) to address it? No.

This is what KC gave up for Mahomes: Buffalo traded a first-round selection (10th) to Kansas City in exchange for Kansas City's first- and third-round selections (27th and 91st), as well as a first-round selection in 2018.)

That is trying to get a QB. Probably worth pointing out that in 2017 we picked Lattimore between Mahomes and Watson.

Mahomes would have had 3 years of a rookie deal under Drew and could have signed a bigger deal in 2020 as Drew finished his last year..

True Dat. But sometimes good things fall to you. Other times you have to be aggressive. However, people always complain about the Saints moving up in the daft. If we had moved up from eleven to ten to insure that we got him we would have been crucified for wasting picks on Mahomes.

You play the cards you're dealt.
