Not many good options. He wasn’t a first choice. And look what it cost to get a guy like Russell Wilson. I remember some people wanted Baker. He isn’t even injured, so he is worse.

To you, because that's what you're looking for. Making a bunch of moronic statements lends itself to not being intelligent enough to be an NFL QB. Along with crab leg theft, etc.

Seriously what was the alternative?

Who else we are getting? Because this last qb draft class was panned as one of the worst in a while.

Yea, its not working out great but outside of trading for someone we really had no choice.

Its not like its just Jameis either. We are getting our shite kicked in everywhere

I wonder if it’s possible that the front office looks at Winston has some sort of stopgap replacement until we find our permanent franchise quarterback.

People are melting all over the Internet thinking the jameis is here to stay forever, but I really don’t think that’s the case. They have to be looking to the future for their next quarterback

Calm down. Might be a long year or two, but jameis won’t be here forever

never understood the want in him and being satisfied with him as the qb


He has arm talent that can't be taught. If bread if anyone could have brought have brought him around, it's Payton.

If hes not there yet, Allen won't be the guy to get him there. Trading trading next year's 1st was an idiotic thing to do...

I was all on board with Jameis being our quarterback before that, because if he sucked we could draft the future

None of us are allowed to pick the QB for the Saints. I think since Winston was named starter we wanted him to do well, I thought it was common knowledge how all this works

Considering his major issues are not having a clue presnap at the line, inability to adjust protections and inability to go through progressions maybe his intellect is a factor. Seems like the only motive everyone has here is to win.

Nope.

He's in the business of being a professional quarterback and a lot more goes into that than simply being on the field. 


Right man, the first day of peewee football the coach said can't throw? Can't run? Can't count to 3? Well if you can speak like the president, get in there you're my fricking quarterback

Luckily we have lowered the bar so much, he still speaks better than Biden

He was a free agent, so he didn’t cost us picks or players.
He has a strong arm and was the passing yards leader in 2019.
He was 26 when he signed with us and has not hit prime QB years yet.
Payton is an offensive guru who we hoped could develop him.
We didn’t waste a pick getting a Jordan Love or Dwayne Haskins type QB.

Now, I realize he’s got a quirky attitude (but the players seem to really like him) and we knew he will try to make throws from time to time he shouldn’t and will sometimes be inaccurate. But we can’t trade for a Joe Burrow or a Patrick Mahomes. And you are just as likely to draft a Josh Rosen as a Josh Allen.

I just don’t get the hate for Winston. He’s not Justin Herbert or anything, but he’s also not Bridgewater, Geno Smith, Baker Mayfield, Justin Fields or Carson Wentz.

He’s a middle of the road NFL QB and people here act like he’s not good enough to play in the USFL.

I don’t have an issue with his interviews. Some of y’all look at football players through the perspective of an 8 y/o. Damn it’s football, a game, why would a grown man outside of the owner of that team give a shite about how well someone speaks?

Your thread title is crap. Sorry. No one before we signed him that I can remember said..."hey guys this is our qb of the future."

It was/is about cheap,who else is cheap, give him a shot.

If you find that qb tree full of HoF Qbs for cheap let the FO know.

I was a supporter of Jameis and still is. He still has upside, but I don't believe the play calling does him any favors.

Brees, for his career was really a short yardage QB. Alot of his passes went to running backs and quick hitting plays. Jameis has been bad so far, but I do believe it can be corrected.

I have seen Dalton play, and it was good at all. However, if Jameis is hurting as the broadcasters were saying, he shouldn't play.

I felt the exact same way about Brees, we lost games because he was trying to play throw an injury when Teddy B and McCown played serviceable snaps for us.
