Would Jameis Winston consider being a backup on Steelers or Saints? | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

We'll try to draft a quarterback in Round 3 or 4 - Keep an eye on FIUs James Morgan...

Then we'll sign two for training camp - Taysom is the future...

Dear God! Not here please. I know Sean has the virus and might be delirious but surely he's not that sick.

Because he is not an NFL QB. He's not the future there. I'm sorry. He wasn't a good passer in college, either. An elite athlete is always what he's been. And by the time Drew retires, he'll be, what, 32? I don't understand the Taysom as heir apparent talk.

Nope. He'll be 35.

Bahahahaha! I think the offense we run under SP requires someone with an IQ larger than their shoe size.

This sequence of events might just humble him. As some other have stated, the arm talent is there. I’d be willing to give him a shot on a one year deal heavily incentive based and see if he can make it through camp...if we even have one.

SIRIUSLY!!! Why would the SAINTS WANT A 35 year old QB!!??

Who do they think he is?
LUKE McCOWN!!!

GAMES 62 STARTED 10 PASS COMP 216 PASS ATT 356 COMPLETION % 60.7 YDS PASSING 2,370 AVG PP 6.7 TD'S 9 INT 15 QB RATING 71.3 RUSH ATT 34 TOTAL YDS 177 AVG 5.2 TTD 0

Considering Taysom Hill has not started or played a complete game at the QB position. The few passes he completed went for an average of 9.2 yards. Nearly 3 yards more than Luke's career and nearly 2 yards more than Drew Brees and Matty Ice's Career.

The preseason game against the Chargers he went
11-15, 136 YDS, 2 TD for a 73% completion average & 12.3 yds PP

Sure it was a preseason game but using his passing stats based on "gimmick" plays to determine he is or isn't NFL starting capable is ludicrous.

He is a dangerous multi-tooled weapon at numerous positions.
He is not a long term starting QB in the NFL.

Please no.

Tampa went 7-9 with Jameis throwing 30 INT's. They'll be a whole lot better with ball security now that Brady is under center.

I think Winston will end up as a back up with Chargers or the Browns.
