Taysom or Jameis?

I think folks got the notion that since Taysom got paid, the Saints are somehow obligated to see if he can fit as a full time QB. Taysom got paid to be Taysom. And he's been doing a fine job of that. The thoughts that somehow he's going to wake up and be an All-Pro QB is just magical thinking to me.

We need to win these next 4 games. As long as Winston values the ball and just throws it away when nothing is there, he gives the Saints the best chance of doing that.

I understand what you're saying. It makes sense.

But I still want to see him play QB.

Has nothing to do with his contract. Or his college play. The kid plays hard. He does everything he asked to and more. He runs like a maniac. He's intense. He's exciting to watch and always looks like he's having as blast.

I know it sounds stupid or illogical. But I just feel like he's earned a shot to play. And I'd like to see what the Saints have in him. I want to see him prove people wrong and show he's more than a gadget guy. Follow his dreams. Idk.

I'm just getting older. Maybe I just wanna see a guy do well that has worked so hard and earned it.

Lol! If it doesn't work out, put the dork in.

I know it doesn't make sense. And I can't argue with anyone about it. He's just one of my favorite guys to watch. Every time he's in there I get excited to see what he's gonna do.

This!

If we lose any of the four it could cost a a shot at the #1 seed and the lone bye week. Winston gives us the best shot in the very short term. Brees gives a better shot over either other option. We need him back as soon as he can take the field at all.
