I hear you. It feels...I don't know, kinda gross. His issues seem to be maturity vs talent. Sometimes a change of scenery does wonders.

I know this. If we face another stretch without Brees, he's about the best backup available.

That's what I am hoping for here. The fact that the Bucs game up on him and there wasn't exactly a rush to sign him acts as a wake up call.

Is he though?

I mean if your aim for a QB is to throw points to the other team it’s a great signing. At least with Teddy we had a ball control guy that was competent in making good calls....

I don’t get it, between this and signing peat to a huge contract it seems like they are missing the boat. Hope this isn’t the level of competence we will see after Drew.

Don't forget that Winston did have corrective surgery on his eye to resolve an issue that he had with bad nearsightedness. It can only help his game.

Once again, I trust those that have FAR more experience than us.

Please research Peat's contract. It's VERY team friendly.

Regarding JW, he won a Natty. Made a Probowl. Typically throws around a 60% completion rate. He's got the goods man. He's just 26 years old and supremely under-achieving.

What's wrong with giving him a year here without stress and spotlight to see if he can grow?
