While leading the #3 offense in both yards and points.
One day, someone will actually break down the Bucs 2019 season. Imagine when people realize the entire narrative of the season is really around 4 games..lol.
-They lost 3 NFC games where they averaged nearly 30 points a game, won the turnover battle, AND Winston had a passer rating of over 100
-They were knocked out of playoff contention during the middle of a 4 game winning streak and a 7-7 record.
-16 of his 30 interceptions came in 4 games. He threw interceptions in less games than Drew did in 2010.
-Macro allows
I'll have to disagree with you here. We saw 2016 Derek Carr and, skill wise, Winston is actually a better QB than most in the league. (his biggest issue has always been trusting his arm and receivers a little too much).
Every QB has flaws and great coaching work around them. There is a reason you won't see Mahomes take a 7 step drop while performing a full field read and letting the ball go on schedule but you saw it from Alex Smith. There is no perfect QB; only the scheme to match their skillset. If you think neither Carr nor Winston have skillsets that can be successful in this league, then you really haven't looked at film or broken down their game. I've said this before and people took it all kinds of wrong.
Carr would excel in the offense the Saints ran from 2017-2020. He is a WCO guy and the offense during the latter Brees years would suit him much better. We would still have to figure out the red zone, as that has translated across schemes and coaches.
If you give Winston a variation of the 2011 Saints offense (Coryell based that is run/play-action heavy attacking the entire field vertically), we would probably have one of the best offenses in the league because that offense checks every box that Winston is legitimately elite in
