If anything he messed himself up with taking the job in NOLA, he should've held out for a starting gig like Baker did and he'd be years ahead of where he is currently.
He literally had Baker's gig complete with Godwin and Evans.
I hold no grudge against Winston, though I think we can't discount his two injury plagued seasons that derailed his attempt to be a starter in New Orleans (the Bucs horse collar knee injury in 21 and the broken vertebrae in 22). Admittedly, that's not necessarily his fault except maybe getting older and more vulnerable dirty plays and hard hits.
