Just because you can throw a football 60 yards doesn't mean you're better.
See Jamarcus Russel as the perfect example. 30 and 30 are good stats if you're a baseball player, not a starting QB.
Winston is here because he was cheap and has starter experience in case the worse happens again. He isn't the future.

Agreed, But personally, I’m comparing this DB#9 to ten years ago DB#9. And the debate doesn’t seem to be whether this DB#9 is better than Russell, or anybody else..., it’s very simply if this DB#9 has enough left in the tank to run an extremely potent and high powered offense. If the answer is that he can’t, to a championship level, then it may very well be time to discuss life without the quadragenarian.
