Does anyone else agree that we would have been better off signing the red rocket over Winston? I realize that there is no way the Saints could have known he would be cut, but damn the luck.

Dalton is decidedly not the future.

Winston is possibly the future.

Easy decision.

Andy Dalton will never win a Super Bowl.



Jameis Winston will probably never win a Super Bowl....


... so, no

Nope... I think Dalton is a solid option if you are looking for a veteran backup that can win you some games. Probably closer to the Teddy Bridgewater mold.


Winston is a guy that can potentially start for the next 10 years if he fixes some things. Much higher upside.

Yes, I think Dalton would’ve been better and I think he can thrive in the right circumstances, but I don’t think the money was there. I also think the Saints has to jump on the opportunity to grab Winston for cheap and it may pay dividends. There’s a good chance Dalton will be available again next year.

Between a old pro retiring soon and a 26 year old former 1st rnd pick.

Boy that is a tough one.

No

He would be more expensive

Winston is 25

Winston has a chance to develop into a building block moving forward (best case scenario), Dalton does not.

Winston has superior arm strength, better overall physical tools, and still has potential for Sean to mold him into a capable starter, all for the price of Justin Hardee.

Dalton has a career of mediocrity. We know what he is and what he can be.

We have no idea how good Jameis can be, because he's been coached by a pack of wild animals thus far in his career. Cannot wait to see what Sean and Pete Carmichael can do for him

Everyone knew he would be cut.

He’s likely going to New England. Miami May also try to sign him.

Age wise, Dalton’s best years or at an end or winding down.

Dalton will want a big contract because it’s likely his last contract.

Winston is better than Dalton. (And I don’t hate Dalton)

Winston was obviously way cheaper.

Winston could be the future of the franchise, Dalton would not be.

No. Winston is better, far more talented, and much younger. And we signed him for barely more than league minimum.

Dalton had a few good years where he had a really good offense around him but he has seemed to dip off since then and has been pretty terrible as of late. At least Winston has upside

I would take Dalton over Jameis but I just chose not to say anything because the people on here will destroy anyone’s opinion that isn’t their own. Winston is head and shoulders above Dalton in pure talent but the red rocket has won everywhere he’s ever been. He still won lots of games with a terrible Bengals team behind him. That says something. He’s got that “it” factor that Winston will never have and he’s also got a big time arm that is very underrated. If Drew were to go down for a month and the playoffs were on the line give me Andy over Jameis all day long.

So why did they wait so long to release him?
