BTW Brady is the first QB to throw 3 INTS in a CHAMPIONSHIP round and win.

If someone else signs Jameis in Free Agency, the Saints definitely need a strong Plan B @ QB. IMO Taysom is a great gadget player but not a full time QB. Hopefully we draft one this season.

Who knows, SP could bring in Gardner Minshew to compete .

IMO we need a bridge/veteran QB in 2021.

Godwin had a case of the drops; and Tom threw the ball away more than Brees, but Brady made the throws that counted...

Totally agree that Bowles defense was not the one it was in the regular season, though that Green Bay game was telling which leads to a theory of mine -

Good not Great defenses and their DCs have five~six great games in them and you gotta pick your spots to show it all, and Tampa Bay picked the Pack and saved the others for the Tournament...

If you look at your NFL history, other than Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, most great QBs need a year of playing to blossom - Taysom has had only four starts, and those were after several year layoff from college...

That's why I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Taysom just yet...

But the bigger point is this - Arians let Jameis go and went after Tom - and that is very telling and should not be ignored...

And Arians has coached some of the best QBs in this generation and definitely saw something in Winston he didn't like...
