Teddy or Jameis?
No doubt... The Saints went after an upgrade at QB... They still need to. JW is good for now... but not the answer.
My point here was the "following the herd" post response... Most of the herd switched fanboy glasses real quick when Watson was thrown into the equation...
Winston was the last girl on the bleachers at the dance when the Saints signed him to deal worth just a bit over backup money in guarantees...
Yet now we are here acting like he was the 1st choice all along, and that he's somehow not a consolation prize, and that his teammates would ever in a million years publicly do or say anything but good things about him... even though they were ALL on board with replacing him with Watson just last week.
The constant “fanboy” stuff is nonsense, but also not even accurate to what you seem to be trying to mock people for.
If most posters on the board admitted that Watson is a better player than Winston, then how can they be simple Jameis fanboys?
As others have pointed out, Winston was also not the last girl in the club, on the bleachers, etc, etc. There were other player signings and trades available (and the Saints clearly showed they were willing to trade a lot if it meant upgrading).
They offered Winston a contract early (when they could have signed several other people) and finalized the deal after Watson was traded to the Browns (instead of trading for Baker, Jimmy G, or others).
Has anyone here actually even said that Winston was obviously the team’s choice all along, or tried to deny that the Saints were interested in Watson?
Just because someone thinks Watson is a better QB doesn’t mean they are suddenly lying or “switching fanboy glasses” if they say they are comfortable, or even optimistic, about going into the season with Winston. That goes for players, coaches, and fans alike.
