He's even more talented than most all of critics give him credit for. The issue ins't talent - it's consistency.

He came from an organization that lacked consistency in the front office. I think you’ll see a better product now that he’s with an organization that has direction and continuity.

IF he ever gets the opportunity to get on the field. As long as he remains third on the depth chart he won't get any playing time. It would take an injury for that to occur and I doubt think any of us want to see that.

If/When the game is 31-3, going in to the 4th quarter, or anytime Coach feels the game is solidly in hand, then pull DB#9, let the guy who actually needs the snaps run a full quarter, two or three series in a row.

He'll probably want Brees to keep padding his Hall of Fame resume' instead. Just saying ...

DB#9 is unequivocally a first ballot HOF’er..., but he’s no LiMu Emu..., nor is he a Motaur.

I’m sold on this being Brees’ last year, so I think we’ll see a whole lot of him in 2021. I hold my breath every time Brees drops back now. I used to have so much confidence and faith in him. It’s almost all gone.

You are assuming the front office is thinking what you are thinking. They may not be sold on it being Brees' last year and have Winston on the same deal that Teddy had ... a one year insurance policy only.

I think a bigger factor is maturity. And I get it. He was BMOC everywhere he went from high school through Tampa Bay so he could get away with behaving like a child. I have seen some indicators that would suggest that he's maturing. Making $1 million as a back up QB convinced me that he knew that the Saints were a solid organization and learning from one of the best QB's to ever play the game would only strengthen his chances to make another huge payday in the near future as a starter for an NFL team.

I'm fairly certain that he would start over Hill if he comes back next year and Brees retires.
