I proposed it today. Arm talent is crazy. Change of scenery might do him good. He a lil’ slow though...lol.

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

Crazy talented, but needs polish and can lose his cool at times. (see sideline incident against Saints)

Still, not sure if the Saints should consider him.

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

Are you saying he can't read and write?

Would his pregame speech fit in here , though?

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

I don’t want his goofy ass over here.

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

I'd rather grab Brian Hoyer, who it looks like the Colts just cut. Or possibly Joe Flacco. No need to groom anyone because Taysom is the dude we're grooming.

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

Please no. He's a clown.

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

Saints will draft or sign an UDFA QB .

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

Never cared for Crab Legs.

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

Taysom is an exciting athlete, who is becoming a star as a TE/WR. And it's time he moved to that role full time.

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.

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

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

Nope. He'll be 35.

;)

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

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

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

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.

You can't fix stupid! :wink:

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Please no.

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

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.

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

Ravens... behind Lamar?

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

I don't think he'll go there. Especially with another former 1st rounder (RGIII) holding the clip board.

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

He definitely needs to go somewhere stable and become a back up behind a quality QB.

Steelers
Saints
Seahawks

I think those are the best places for him to get better coaching and learn from some elite players at his position. He threw 30 picks. Undeniable. He also threw for 5,000 yards and 33 TD’s. I truly believe there’s so much untapped potential there.

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

Will he accept Crab Legs as a salary? If so, I can see him as a third stringer in NOLA.

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

He’d easily beat out Taysom Hill in camp.

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

I'm just going off the description of the video in the OP.. regardless of interception totals, that'd be absolutely bonkers for someone to throw 30 TD's, then quit and go play baseball the following year. Dude's still an NFLer who'd be an upgrade on several teams current starting QB. I'd be more than fine bringing him in as a backup if the money was right..Taysom may be unhappy with that though, after receiving a 1st round RFA tender.

I'm expecting a vet QB to be brought in, but someone less skilled and more of an NFL journeyman, to provide 3rd string insurance so Taysom can have a real shot. Guys like Jameis and Cam would easily take the #2 QB spot over Hill.

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

No need for it, Taysom is going to have a decent cap hit this year along with Brees. Adding another high paid QB to the roster would be a waste of cap space.

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

He also threw another 10 picks that were dropped and arguably had the best WR Corp in the league with a pass happy OC. Winston with crap WRs would look like a practice squad QB.

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

Never know with Payton, I wouldn’t be surprised

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

Or maybe the Houston Texans are stupid enough to trade D Watson?

O'Brien doesn't have a clue down there.

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

Personally, I would be very surprised. :awe:

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

I'm pretty sure Taysom is the backup and we're not going to spend money there this year. Best we sure up offensive line and bring in weapons for Brees. We're already addressing those things and have our nuclear WR #2 already.
