Speculation (Winston will probably leave) (1 Viewer)

Post June cuts doesn't solve that we need to cut $60 million before the league year starts in year one. He'll probably get void years added to him contract and stay with the team another year.
Somebody already has a post where we made some moves and got like 17 mil or in cap space without losing our core.
 
I think a new coach will bring an entire rebuild. I doubt Dennis Allen goes back to Defense. At this point, I'd like to see the Saints clean house and bring something fresh. At QB, it's going to be growing pains, but Saints need to invest into the draft and change things up with most of the coaching staff.
It would also be awesome if they got over the trading draft picks fetish, actually made smart draft picks and built a team. On the busts, let the chips fall where they may. Never been a fan of trading away picks to move around the board unless you are one position player away from contention and rarely is that can't-miss player in any draft. Players are options. You can't exercise options if you don't have the numbers.

Always been hopeful that Winston can get his game back on track and I thought Dalton would be a quality starter if we needed him. I was wrong on both counts. Time to blow this QB roster up and start building for the future.
 
How awesome would it be if Jameis came out of the locker room in a Dalton jersey, gave the finger to Dennis, and took the field.
 
He's good enough where he can play, but not 100%. All this speculation isn't addressing that DA may be saving him from himself knowing that Sunday the QB is going to get mauled.
I think it is possible that DA is trying to salvage his own reputation along with giving Jameis the best chance to land somewhere in the off-season.

I think in DAs mind, Jameis lost the job. Going back to Jameis admits to mismanaging the situation. It doesn’t look great for him regardless, but I think he may see this is a greater negative. When he interviews somewhere else he can atleast claim injuries prevented success. For Jameis, if he comes back and still sucks his career might be done. If he coasts the rest of the year on the bench, he’s almost guaranteed a shot somewhere next year.

I honestly think DA, Winston, and Dalton are all gone next year. If not, it’s going to be an awkward workplace.
 
Can Jameis read defenses?
I can't see how that is making that much of a difference. We are 3-7! Winston has a 1-3 record, while Dalton has a 2-5 record. Winston - 286 yd avg / Dalton - 223. Winston played hurt and Dalton is healthy. Where is reading defenses making a difference with these stats?
 
Giving out interviews that insinuate, if not outright, accuse your coach of lying to you is not good for the locker room. That isn't to say that he's wrong for doing it. I believe him, I have no reason not to, and DA hasn't shown me enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. Having said that, Winston is basically auditioning for another team at this point, at least in my opinion. He's clearly feeling like he's been treated poorly (again maybe it's true) and he's telling the media about it. Maybe they can sweep it under the bridge but sometimes you just don't have a way back from the things you say. Doesn't mean he's not a good teammate, just means he isn't planning on sticking around.
Coaches lying to a player or players and then telling a different lie to media is what’s “not good” for the locker room.

When this is all said and done most people in the league will chalk all this up to DA being an incompetent joke as a HC and “leader of men.”
 
The more important question is whether Dalton will be here next year.
 
Jameis didn't appear on podcasts like I Am Athlete or The Pivot to talk about his experiences with the Saints. He'll definitely be on one this offseason.

I don't know, he's gotta be careful looking for other opportunities after this year if they release him.
 
Seeing Minschew name being thrown around. No thank you. If he was any good he would of stayed Jax QB. He is nothing more than a decent back up.qb.
