I think he's been incredibly mature during his stretch of time here. But some people are just going to hate this man no matter what, so have at it I guess.

yes, you're right, hate the guy no matter what he does, and all he's done is be a really good, confidence building and supporting teammate that has bought into the Saints system since being there. He's grown as a person and QB in their system, he has learned a lot from Sean Payton in a short time with him. He doesn't make the dumb critical mistakes at QB like in the past with regards to his decision making, he thinks about it now as opposed to just doing it without thought. He's still prone to going back to being the old Jameis at times when he's pressing and under pressure, but not as much as before. He's just a much more confident, well-rounded QB now that should be great in the backup role because he's always confident, bubbly and is always talking it up to the QB he's paired with and helping. Last season it was Dalton, and even though he was upset about not playing at the end of the season, he was still a positively supporting, cheerful, rah rah type teammate to Dalton to get him going before games.
