Jameis Winston's best attributes: Targeting Tight ends, Broken Plays, Play-action

I was just looking back at 2007 and 2010 when the saints had no running game under Brees and ranked 28th in rushing both years.

Brees only managed an 89 and 90 qb rating both years.

The saints had the 28th ranked rushing game in 2008 too but Brees threw for 5000 yards while managing a 96 passer rating while throwing 2200 yards to backs and TEs in the passing game.

In 2019 Winston threw 13 more ints than Brees did with an 84 rating while only completing 1400 yards to TEs and backs.


The Buccaneers ranked 29 and 27th in rushing in 2018 and 2017 and Winston managed a 90 or better qb rating.

When Brady had zero passing weapons in 2018 he posted an 88 qb rating.

Winston without weapons posted above 100 in 2021.


2 of Winston's last 3 years of meaningful starting action he's posted 90-100+ qb ratings even though he had severe deficiencies in the running game or passing game.
