Jameis Winston 1 yr deal

AsylumGuido · 04-29-2020, 08:30 AM

Chances are he'll likely never play a meaningful snap for the Saints. The only reason Bridgewater got a chance was a fluke play that might occur one time in 10161 (number of Brees career pass attempts).

That said, he would give a a better chance at winning than any other choice out there. Let's hope we never see him, though.

However, 15 pages dedicated to a backup QB has done a lot for our offseason discussions!

This is what I was thinking. Winston must have some insight into the Tampa Bay offense, right? I'm sure we can benefit from that somehow.

I seriously doubt it. The Bucs will most likely adjust to fit what Brady knows instead of asking him to adjust to their system. Same scenario as when Manning went to Denver.

So Winston's base salary is 1.1M for the season?

That is a bargain if you'll ever see one with zero risk.

Seems like a guy who wants to get better (he's only 26) at his craft, sit behind the best in the biz & become a starter again. Not saying it's in New Orleans but you never know. That says a lot of about his commitment at QB.

Humbling.

Didn't really work very well for Manning. Yes, he got a ring....thanks to the D. Granted Manning was playing hurt, and he only played 9 games, but taking that into consideration his numbers that year weren't that great. Completion %, TD %, Int % were all off.

The other issue is that Brady won't be playing in the AFC East.

They do have a lot of LSU linebackers. Only one starts though. I think. Don’t quote me.

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.

OK, yeah, a few INT's can be laid to rest on their WR's but it's 30 dude. 30. Even if you give the receivers 10 he's still 30/20 on the season, that's not good. I live under the Tampa umbrella so I can't help but see a lot of Tampa football. He's always been a unprompted turnover machine, not just last season. If you think a leopard can change his spots more power to you, I have no faith. I've seen too much bad football. We lose Drew for any serious time I have zero confidence in this guy chewing any W's for us.

As to Teddy, I'm not sure what board you've been reading but Teddy did not get much love on this one nor much credit for his 5 W's. Defense got it, Sean's game planning got it. Capt. Checkdown I heard a lot. And don't let the door hit ya when he left.
