Good ol' crab-legs

I wonder if he'll take over the team speech duties from Brees?

...actually, I forgot he had that eye surgery, so maybe he's not Mr. Magoo anymore

Good. Lots of upside with this dude. I know a lot of people here make fun of him (me too, pre game speeches etc.) but his talent can't be ignored. When Drew retires we may have franchise QB tied to his prime years at reasonable price. I like Taysom Hill but he isn't long term answer at QB position.

Sorry, screw talent. He is a piece of crap. Rapist, thief, stuck-up braggart POS.

He will be a cancer in the locker room.

I can't express how dissapointed I am in the Saints right now.

He'll be anything but a cancer in the locker room. I'm not a huge fan, but I do know for a FACT that the other players love him. Even Saints players are giving their support. I can see how he might be a cancer on the living room sofa for some fans, but it is a very smart move for the Saints and I am sure they care more about winning than a few selected fans' personal feelings.

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.

How do you know he raped someone?

Quick - name another backup QB who threw for 5,000yds and 30 TDs.

I’ll wait.
