Hill isn't much competition. The reality is, Winston hasn't had a one really good season in 5 years as a starter, and has consistently shown to make poor decisions that lead to turnovers. I'll believe it when I see it, but I don't think he's a good player. I've watched him for 5 years, and I can't imagine wanting that guy as my teams QB. You are mistaking my assessment of a player for hate. He's not good, IMO, and beating out Taysom Hill doesn't mean he suddenly is. As for the sister thing, I'm not bothered by it, it seemed to be in jest.Bronco Billy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 3:59 pmWow. You really are over the edge in dislike of Winston.

Yeah, as I said to BB, I've watched the guy plenty, and I just think he's wired a certain way, and that is going to inevitably lead to turnovers. He will make some awesome throws, but I've seen it for 5 years, so at this point, I need to see it before I believe it. I don't think Payton is some genius who can change the makeup of a human being. He has a good system, but right now the receiving corps is limited, and I am just not sold on Winston as a good starting QB in the NFL. I just have my doubts he'll ever have the consistency needed to be a franchise QB at this point.Pullo Vision wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 3:24 pmI think you're as down on him as I am (cautiously) optimistic about him. I think everything's lined up for him- chance to learn from Brees/Payton last year, eye surgery, playing for Payton this year. I don't care about the surgery much at all, but if he really capitalized on his opportunity to learn from Brees the way he said he did, this'll be a rocket ship.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 3:04 pmNeither does Winston IMO.

This was a reasonable discussion about one of the perennial fantasy juggernaut teams in the Saints, and whether they might still be able to still make a little noise this year with Jameis.
This post does absolutely nothing to further anything constructive. Quit being a moron.
I agree, he definitely deserves another look to succeed. I'm rooting for him. If you listen to him speak in interviews he says all the right things and it doesn't sound like lip service.CGW wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 3:43 pmHe absolutely has a great situation to succeed. That said, he's a knucklehead. The eye surgery thing is laughable...if that was the reason he sucked it makes him even more of a knucklehead.OkOk wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 3:28 pmI’m with you.

Plus taysom will still be there doing taysom things, which will somewhat limit Winston in red zone packages.
As I said to others, I've watched the guy play boneheaded football for 5 years. I just think he's a poor decision maker, and am not convinced it's fixable. He's had 5 years of average to poor QB play. It's not a huge accomplishment to beat out Taysom Hill. Honest question. How many current starters would lose a camp battle to Taysom Hill right now? How many backups would also beat him out? Mariota, and a few others, perhaps? So Winston winning the job simply doesn't change my view on the 5 years of football I've seen him play.smbkrypt24 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 5:04 pmFF was over the top in his dislike.

Bridgewater stepped in and did decently well. Taysom Hill came in last year and still they kept winning.

Generally curious what makes it more QB friendly than other systems? Payton has had Brees and only Brees for 15 years. Why is the NO's system more QB friendly than say, the Jets, or Bills, or Raiders, or Cowboys etc.?
I guess my question is, what about the system makes it better for a QB? I mean, Taysom had a system created just for his skill set, it really wasn't the same thing Winston will be running. Some plays, sure, but certainly not all of it.StripesOfKC wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:36 pmBridgewater stepped in and did decently well. Taysom Hill came in last year and still they kept winning.

That is a very good point. There is always a mental aspect of the game. And being around a winning culture & a consistent organization is a positive. Apart from a few players, the majority of players are going to have their success determined partially by their surroundings. We've seen that with Aaron Rodgers - as talented as he may be he cannot win it on his own. To the point that he's gotten frustrated with the organization and takes some of their decisions persoanlly. Maybe Jameis Winston is always going to be more like Brett Favre than Tom Brady / Peyton Manning and have a gunslinger mentality. However Favre did get a change of scenery very early in his career. Dont forget that (a) the Atlanta HC didnt want Favre and (b) the Packers GM overruled the team doctors (Favre had a condition similar to Bo Jackson).StripesOfKC wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:36 pmBridgewater stepped in and did decently well.

First off, Winston doesn't have Evans or Godwin. Hill will be in there for packages, and some will be down by the goal line. The idea that no matter what Winston will be a Fantasy Stud is far from a given. With his WR options, I don't see QB1 stats in his likely range of outcomes.ArrylT wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:11 pmStripesOfKC wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 7:36 pmBridgewater stepped in and did decently well.

"Point is he went from a lousy situation to a better situation..."
Winston has gone from being cast-out to possibly being reborn and in an environment that is friendly and positive towards successful QB play. The Saints took a previous former unwanted and somewhat unproven QB and turned a moribund franchise into a Super Bowl champion and repeated playoff contender.
This is someone who likely now has a chip on his shoulder and a drive to succeed even greater than he originally had. That is not a guarantee he's going to be a stud (well he'll likely be a fantasy stud regardless). But a QB with talent, proven production and in a situation where he's learned & worked to win the starting role. Sometimes is a good idea to bet the obvious odds rather than dig in our heels.
You obviously did not correctly interpret my post and have already made your own decision - which is your choice. Let me know when you've actually read my post properly because what you are responding to is not what I was talking about so it is pointless to respond.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 8:42 pmFirst off, Winston doesn't have Evans or Godwin.

Secondly, Winston went from such a lousy situation, with Godwin and Evans etc. and a really good D to a better one? The Bucs situation was so terrible that team won the SB the year after he left. The idea it was some bad situation to me just doesn't wash. Winston had plenty of opportunities and reasons to succeed in TB, he just didn't play well enough. He wasn't being held back by ineptitude all around him. To me, betting on the odds, as you say, is going on 5 years of tape on the guy, showing he isn't a very good NFL QB who is prone to turnovers and bad decision making. Maybe he's turned over a new leaf, but "feel good articles" and a few pre-season throws vs the Jags aren't enough to get me to change my mind on the guy. If I'm wrong, it's totally fine, I will accept that, I just won't believe it until I see it.
