And that's fine. I won't diminish your excitement. BUT...

HE IS A RAPIST.

And I'm sorry for me that's what is most important.

I don't care how good of a player he is.

Call me idealistic, naive, stupid, whatever. His real character is known. And his real character isn't good.

I've made plenty of big mistakes in my life (not rape!) but I'd like to believe that those stupid choices won't define me by my peers.

Winston has made some awful choices in his young life but after perusing his twitter timeline he seems to be legitimately making an effort to be a better man. I'm all about a good redemption story.

If you tell me Winston is the future here, I might have to fight you. But as a backup, on a reasonable price? Why not. Maybe he'll even have an epiphany, sitting behind Drew.

Well the Teddy Bridgewater deal worked out for us and for Teddy. So hopefully the " Powers To Be" are repeating their vision with Jameis.

On another note it looks like Mike Tomlin was interested as well.
Before he agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Jameis Winston reportedly received an offer from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yea well Teddy was a great guy on and off the field, Winston not so much. If he has to play he’s going to cost us a game when he plants a defenders head in the ground like he did to Jordan. He’s a titty baby and lacks maturity and discipline. Then there’s the interceptions when he had one of the best receiving corps in the league.
Whatever, it is what it is. He helps us win games then great but I won’t have much respect for him unless I see a big change in behavior on the field.

The man threw for over 5,000 yards last season and it's clear to me that Payton believes that he could give us something close to what Teddy did last year if Drew were to go down again. So, I'll just have to hope he never sees the field.

Related to the nasty pick ratio...Saints players have caught more passes from Jameis Winston than from Taysom Hill ....

Well I have yet to see where it has been confirmed so I’m holding out hope SP pushes out this brain fart

Winston has high upside. He just needs to be taught not to make stupid mistakes. I'm skeptical of it actually happening though cause Arians is good when it comes to coaching up QBs. I trust Payton a bit more though, so I don't think he's a lost cause.
