Good Post, but you are severely underplaying the need to stretch the field, even the threat of such.
But I hope even if Jameis wins us a couple of trophies, we learn from the hero worship and recognize when he has lost it, to the point that we cant finish the job. Let's not drag it out 3 extra years again.
Maybe (just maybe) if Cook didn't fumble away our realistic shot at beating the Bucs last January, the last 3 years wouldn't have seemed like such a "drag".
Somehow I think that Winston would admit that he did gain some valuable knowledge about learning the Saints playbook & running the Saints offense while he waited for his shot to start. And now that we are here, I've put the past behind and I'm right with you happy to see what the new kid on the block will do for us going forward. We all have reason to be excited about the future of our team. Our front office is still one of the best in the league and we will likely remain one of the top teams in the NFL for as long as they are calling the shots!
