Jameis Winston to NOLA

[Sickdawg]

Didn’t see this coming, guess all the harassing I gave my bucs friends about him is about to come full circle for me

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Winston had LASIK in the off-season maybe he will be able to see what team he is throwing to...

 

[msstate7]

Love it. Still just 26. Sean gets a year to see if Winston could take over next season.

 

[Dawg1976]

17.

Spoken like a true Falcons fan **

Under Sean's tutelage, he can be the future leader of the Saints. Maybe even supplant Brees. I'm real excited for Who Dat Nation.

Makes their decision to draft Stevens even weirder.

Stevens was drafted as an athlete. Payton had tommy send in video of him running routes

 

[Shmuley]

Olowered. Hide ya crab legs, nola.

 

[DAWG61]

30 interceptions in one year is a whole bunch and he had a bunch of fumbles too. He is a human turnover machine that makes head scratching bad decisions constantly.

 

[JacksonDevilDog]

Are there any Publix in the greater New Orleans area?

The TOs are a huge deal, but perhaps fixable. Winston was nfl leader in passing yards, 2nd in td passes, and #5 in yds/att, so there's some talent there. Like I said, he's only 26 and Sean Payton is a really good coach. Another thing to consider with the huge TO numbers is pressure... Winston was under constant pressure, 47 sacks (2nd in nfl). 1-year deal, so no risk imo

He eats that W now

They were more rare in TB than crab legs.

 

[Not Really a Doc]

He does have a lot of experience throwing to saints players...

 

[Go Budaw]

Ha. Guess Tommy is gonna have a time running the scout team.

All true. But there are way worse back-up QB’s out there.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

They are both place holders until 2021 when the Heisman Trophy winner KJ Costello gets drafted by the Saints.****

 

[DAWG61]

Saw this stat today. Jameis has more career passes to Saints players (10) than Taysom Hill (7). Lol

 

[msstate7]

Lifted this off saints' board...

Jameis Winston was offered a more lucrative deal by the Pittsburgh Steelers, per source. In the end, he decided to learn under Drew Brees and Sean Payton


Per a Bucs beat reporter

 

[TheStateUofMS]

Crazy. Talented as hell. Bonehead upstairs though. Saints will process him if they need to. We lost Teddy Bridgewater. Needed someone other than Hill as a back up. Winston will get to learn from Breeze.

There's simply no downside to this situation. The upside could be tremendous though.

 

[Dawg_4_lifes]

Talented, crazy as hell, gotta police report a mile long. Sounds like some of my exes.

 

[KingBarkus]

SIOP...At least our (Saints) db's will learn to catch now.
