Did anyone from this forum call for Winston to play over Brees? I seriously don't recall that.

Folks were saying that they wanted to see more of Winston and less of Hill if for no other reason than evaluation purposes.

See the game threads Weeks 2-5. Yes, some folks question why Brees wasn't throwing to open receivers down the field...

Because they were not the primary options, most likely. But, haters gonna hate.

I said it a few times. The dinking and dunking was so excessive, but it hasn’t been as bad over the last couple of weeks. I’m excited to see what he can do.

It's the ball control that has made the offense effective thus far. Shots down the field can kill a drive quickly. Those dinks and dunks are as effective as a good running game at moving the ball AND moving the clock. I am hoping we see the same from Winston.

There definitely were earlier in the season. There were claims that Brees had lost it and it was time to move on to Winston.
