That's not spin. It's pretty evident.

You want to place a bet on that? LOL!!

Re: Jameis Winston 1 yr deal
 

Winston had an historic season for INT's. No doubt 2019 was abysmal in that department. But historically, Jameis has had statistical seasons very similar to Drew Brees.

I"m not smart enough to see his INT's were all his fault so I'll trust that you do.

And I don't recall anyone here giving Teddy B anything but love and appreciation for his time and accomplishments in New Orleans. He was the ideal teammate and backup QB who was just too good (expensive) to keep on the bench. We'll ALL miss that kind of player.

But your insinuation that Winston will produce the same level of INTs in a new offense with new players and coaches is a stretch IMO. We'll see.

Can we name their LBs? Yes, mostly from LSU. :bugeyes:

the upside for JW is really high.

And if reports are accurate he turned down a more lucrative offer then this is not all about money for him and indicates some level of commitment to the game

I was curious so I researched further. Nick Underhill has a great article out today in which he examines every single interception Winston threw in the 2019 season.

https://neworleans.football/breaking...ds-to-improve/

I won't share it all. Nick's site requires a subscription and he lives off the money. But here's a sample:

Jameis Winston can be an outstanding quarterback.

There have been moments and games throughout his career where he looks the part, the prodigious talent who was once a first-overall draft pick. There have been times when he lived up to the Peyton Manning comparisons he drew coming out of Florida State, and there were probably times when Tampa Bay, at least early on, believed he would be the backbone of the franchise.

But those moments never seemed to last more than a moment, because the bad version of Winston, the one who loses games for his team, always showed up to derail his progress. Some things happened in Tampa Bay last season that were not entirely his fault, but there is a reason no one wants him to start.

To better understand why that is happening, and what led him to New Orleans’ doorstep, I decided to watch Winston’s worst moments. I know he has ridiculous talent — everyone does – but he is signing with the Saints because he has significant issues and needs help. I wanted to see those issues for myself and gain an understanding of what Winston might be focusing on during the next year. So, I decided to breakdown all 30 of his interceptions last year to help paint a picture.

Nick goes on to state Winston threw 14 INTs under pressure and saw that pressure on 30% of his drop backs (o line). For comparison, Brees saw pressure 18% of drop backs.

I would highly recommend subscribing. Nick's content has been the best of his peers for years now.

It's not just picks. Last 3 years he fumbled 34 times.

Re: Jameis Winston 1 yr deal
 

Would you rather we signed Chase Daniels, Brian Hoyer or Cooper Rush? Three guys who probably aren't going to win you a game if heaven forbid Brees ever got hurt.

Winston is probably the best "back up" out there.
