JP doesn't agree with it. It's his opinion. Nothing wrong with that.

I hope he was just being nice to Winston. Hill, Siemian and a rookie would be good with me.

So does that mean we’re going to re-sign Winston because he’s on a one year deal? Is he going to take the same small contract?

Honestly I think we roll into 2021 with the same exact setup and hope for someone to rise above the others. May draft a 4th to add to the mix but otherwise, pobably, yes.

That article does make it sound like the Saints are planning/hoping on keeping Winston around after this one year contract. But I’m not believing that he’ll accept a benchwarmer seat, basically another year without a legitimate starting possibility, doubly so with that tiny contract.

My guess is he wants to play. My guess is that there are other teams who will pay him much more money AND give him a chance at starting.

If DB#9 is around in 2021, and I believe he will be, and if TH#7 is around, and I also believe he will be, then Winston has to move on to greener pastures. Assuming that teams will want him, and imho, the longer you don’t have gameday tape, the longer you’re not in the serious conversation for a starting QB’s job. He’s in his prime, he’s no longer a rookie, which means the clock is ticking on his career.

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

I disagree. This is a horrible take. You might need to get banned...

I have no doubt you'd want to see Jameis play this weekend. Who knows? Maybe he'd play great. But I do know that for him to get the shot this week something bad would have had to have happened. Taysom injured and Brees not ready. Both bad.
