We also had Sean Payton, Marcus Williams, Terron Armstead, and Malcom Jenkins... and JW wasn't the QB for ~10 games.... And you always leave out the part of my post that ties this all together... You know I can't stand that.
I do that so it's clear what part I'm responding to.
Anyway, sure we may be a bit worse in some areas, but regardless of how you feel about Winston, he should be an improvement over all of the QB play we had for the last 10 games and if we add a good WR and more help in the draft, we might actually be better. But, even as we are now, a bit worse than last year, we are still a borderline playoff team with just a healthy offensive line and Winston.
That doesn't mean you ignore the long term if they really think that a franchise QB has fallen to them. But, just like I don't think they are convinced that Winston is the long term answer, I don't think they are convinced any of these QBs are the long term answer either. To me that means you wait until at least round 2 until you take a guy that you aren't convinced will be the long term solution at QB. But, I guess we'll find out how they feel about these QBs and Winston tomorrow night.
