Well this is an interesting development.....if it isn't a smokescreen.

Yes..they said this during the Saints last game. Payton said that he believes that Jamis will be the starter next year. I posted it in the game thread but apparently no one else heard them say that.

Yeah...but I thought it was BS then. I mean......if he is your starter....why didn't you play him when Brees went down????

Is this genius or madness?

Dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

The odd thing is that he is a free agent. I just don't see how this benefits them to make this statement.

He was asked about their QB situation if Brees doesn't return. His answer mostly involves what he's liked about what he's seen from Winston. He also mentioned that he's a FA. I'd assume from that, they plan to resign him. Which isn't a terrible idea. He's cheap and has a year in their system.

Nah, they getting Watson.

I would have loved to see him play instead of teddy.

I’m sure it would have been WAY more entertaining, albeit, potentially equally frustrating.

That LASIK surgery may have really changed things for him, or not. Would have been fun to find out.

If they can get him on the cheap and fix his decision making on some of those long throws, he could be a steal. I was kind of hoping we could get him here if we couldn’t get one of our desired QBs in the draft.

He will always be available "on the cheap".

The guy is a complete dumbass --- his "decision making" prowess (or lack thereof) is irreparable.

Yea I don’t think his issues are coachable...not so strong in the decision making and constant INTs his entire career. How do you even throw 30 INTs in a season?

Yea, it’s Brady but the fact they literally replaced him with Brady and now they’re in their super bowl tells me a lot. That’s has always been a talented team.

Regardless...do I see Winston getting a team to a super bowl? No. I think he’s an OK QB but late Cam and TB has this board falling in love with any QB who can sling it without caring about anything else.

Brett Favre had a 29 INT season. Peyton Manning had a 28 INT season.

I sure hope he does. It'll be good for the rest of the division. He'll revolutionize the Saints like he revolutionized the Bucs.
