A microcosm of Winston’s career

DaveXA said

Certainly, I don't blame Winston for the loss, at all. I'm simply saying what we got from him yesterday is what we've usually gotten from him in the past. It was peak Winston.

The only time I've ever seen him play consistently well and with few turnovers was his injury shortened season when Payton had him as the starter from the jump. And Jameis was basically handcuffed to some degree to keep the turnovers low.

It worked well, but without Payton at the helm, he's gone back to what he's always been the other 7 seasons of his career.

He hasn’t had a chance to be healthy and start since Payton. JW will never be the QB here, but he will still get another chance with another team, even if it’s a prove-it backup deal.

If DA and Carr fail in NO, they will both never get the same chances again. For Allen that means to be HC again and for Carr it means that if he fails here his days of signing 8 figure deals and being given a starting job without competition are over.

This is why DA would never start Winston and it’s probably why Carr is so all up on his feels all the time.
