Potential “racism” fallout of starting Dalton?

I just had a thought:
Does anyone think Allen might be hesitant to make a change to Dalton because of some concern of possibly facing a cry of “racism” from the media—or even internally?
Because if he were to go to the bullpen, the media has already given him PLENTY of cover with the incessant beating of the “30/30” drum, and it’s an almost consensus opinion that he’s too careless with possession of the ball—as demonstrated by SO OFTEN going for the home run play versus taking the intermediate and moving methodically down the field. Unfortunately for us, he’s been very guilty of this just in these last 2 games; it can be argued that both games would have been wins had he been more patient and hit those 5, 8, 11 yard plays rather than going for the long-ball score so often.
Consider this blurb from a Yahoo Saints Wire article:
“ Look at how the Saints possessions have ended through three games. Out of their 37 drives, just 6 have ended with touchdowns, and 5 with field goal tries (2 missed, 1 blocked). They’ve punted 16 times, ended 9 with a turnover, and they’ve turned it over on downs once. That’s a worryingly low success rate no matter how you slice it.”
Painful!
I’ve been pulling for Jameis, wanting to see him continue to mature and be a success; I am a Saints fan over ANY single player though, and I can’t help but find myself at the conclusion that he just can’t be “fixed”!
What will it take to get DA to make a change? Because something needs to!

You can use the injury as an excuse. Praise Jameis for being tough and trying to stay on the field.

Yes, absolutely, 100percent.
The irony is that those screaming "racism" are actually the biggest racists of all.

I'm more worried about the "football" fallout b/c Dalton is washed and he was never that great at his peak

The idiots on this team Black-maled Drew Brees into trading his support for the military and police for taping the names of criminals on his helmet....what do you think Allen is thinking?

I’m tired of people trying to use the race card. Either you can play or not. It’s as simple as that.

I knew this thread was garbage from the title alone

This board is dying to be reminded of who Andy Dalton is and none of you are going to like it

I don’t really care if people are stupid enough to relate racism to a QB change. If they are that idiotic then they would be the real racists. The fact is Winston is hindering g the team wether it be because he’s hurt or he’s just being Jameis I don’t really give a shite. Can’t be any worse than yesterday was with Dalton.

For this to be a thought is all that is wrong with the NFL and America.

I’m not gonna try to act like I know what Dennis Allen is thinking. I’d imagine that the thought has crossed his mind
I’m more interested in the temperament of the locker room towards having jameis as their QB. And I’m not talking about race related crap either. How do they feel about having him as their starting QB? If they support it, you almost have to ride it out for fear of losing the locker room… if DA gets the impression that some of the vets think it’s time for a change maybe go for it
But in all actuality, I don’t think it matters because I don’t believe that dalton is the answer either

No. You play the better player. It’s like people just ignore how bad Dalton was last year. The fans that don’t know football are the ones screaming for a QB change because they don’t actually understand what they are watching. “Oh the team loses, time to make a QB change”.
If Dalton looks better than Winston in practice then you play him. My guess is that Winston has looked much better otherwise they would have been playing Dalton during Winston’s injury

I think Allen may be here just to crash the bus so we can begin the rebuild. In fact, SP probably ghost-approved signing Jarvis and Mathieu just so he could frick over some former LSU guys on his way out the door.

No. The media isn’t exactly big on Winston.

I am tired of race coming up in all conversations. If Winston isn't our best QB, then play Dalton. It is that simple.This is professional sports. Sean Payton has to shoulder some of the blame here for not getting us a good QB when it was obvious Brees was finished. Had he talked Brees out of the last year, we would have had Brady who is still very good.
