Jameis Winston: “I would love to stay in NOLA forever”

Agreed. SP didn't develop Drew. What QB has he developed as a HC that has had success in the league be it with the Saints or elsewhere?

Charger Drew and Saints Drew gives us a glimpse. If you don't think CSP fingerprints are all over Brees' success, I don't know what to tell you. He built the offense around him and honestly, that's all most QBs need.

I mean let's not revise history. I think Jameis is a good guy and a great team mate, but he had 5 possession in that game and he only managed to get one FG attempt out of those 5 possessions and that was a 46 yard FG which while you expect Grupe to make it, it's not a chip shot.

Certainly a lot of that is on Carmichael, but it's not like Jameis lit is up against GB.

Actually, we were in FG range twice. We took a delay of game the first time and punted. And if we are being honest, our offense that day wasn't lighting it up. We had 2 drives to put us in scoring range in the first half and 2 drives that put us in scoring drive the 2nd half. If DA had to the stones to go for the 1st FG and/or Grupe makes the second, this would be a different conversation.

I like JW as a person and a teammate. Admittedly I didnt give him much credit coming out of FSU. I saw a Jamarcus Russell clone. Not having a coach to help reign in his, sometimes, erratic tendencies and help him develop his true potential is what hurt him. I wont sit here and say CSP would have made him any different. What made CSP look like a genius is Brees being able to read a defense pre snap and know what they are going to do before they do it. It made play calling easy. We have yet to see Sean develop/mold a QB. I truly feel for JW. I was not excited when he joined the Saints but I watched as he became a leader and a great teammate. I can absolutely see him develop into a QB coach. He knows how to build up guys and is very humble.

I dont think he will ever reach his full potential. I would love to see them renegotiate a deal for him to stay as the backup, and help tutor a rookie on the ins and outs. Then maybe 3-4 years become the Saints next QB coach.

When watching games, you can tell he sees it all from the sidelines. I just dont think he was given the proper coaching to know how to use that in the pocket. Its that or he just cant process it fast enough. I see JW working his way to be the next Dave Campbell. Working his way up and being a players coach. A guy that guys run through walls for. I am here for it and would pull for it to be with the Saints.

Here is the crazy thing, Winston has had way more good games than bad but when people only focus on "interceptions," it hard for folks to see anything else. There is nothing wrong with his pre-snap reads and truth be told, in Drew's prime, post-snap was more important because they had longer developing plays. His problem was never reading a defense; his problem has always been trusting his arm/receivers too much. I go back to Kurt Warner saying that when he puts on tape, Jameis makes better reads and plays than 90% of the QBs in the NFL and this was after 30 interceptions. This is a 2-time MVP saying this and it made me rethink how I look at games and he wasn't lying. When we picked him up and I started really looking at those Bucs game, his good to great outweighed his bad easily but we place a microscope on him that we don't others. Dude will maybe have 3-4 bad games in a season and we spend more time analyzing the bad games than we do the good, talking about he is inconsistent while ignoring everyone else bad games. Crazy world..lol
