Is it me or is DA purging everything Sean from the team?

I think the years where Bridgewater and Taysom had to start some games was much more difficult to judge because the offense was still built around Drew and they just came in because of injury. The entire offense had already been installed for Drew and he was coming back so they couldn't have massive changes. When Drew retired, I think Sean was in the process of making Jameis the best version of Jameis he could be. He was calling plays that limited some of his biggest flaws and crawled up his behind when he reverted to his old ways. I've never been a fan of Jameis, but thought Sean was putting him in the best position. The next year, Jameis stood no chance because his personality dwarfed the coaches and they couldn't control him the same way Sean could. Lots of hindsight here, but I'm going to miss that era.

I honestly looked at they way they used Winston as forcing a square peg in a round hole. They tried to fit him into the later version of the offense that Brees ran once his arm was shot and that just doesn't fit Winston. He doesn't have that accuracy or anticipation. Winston only looked good in the Payton offense when they were behind and forced to let him play more aggressive. Which, of course, has the downside of him making mistakes. It's the Jameis Winston experience, huge plays mixed with inexplicable interceptions.

But, like I said, I'm not sure many QBs can run the system the way Brees did. I thought that Winston could be trained to run it the way Brees ran it in the earlier years with deep shots to keep the defense honest and to get big chunks, but it never worked out because I think that Winston, and every other QB other than Brees, couldn't get down the accuracy and anticipation needed to run the base offense that set up those shot plays.
