You lost me with this line. If that was the case, Winston would not have had ZERO takers when jettisoned from the Bucs and signed a lowball offer to be a backup with the Saints and a POSSIBLE chance to be the starter. If it was about his great experience and talent, he would have been handed the keys to many organizations as THE GUY.And in that business at QB there are two critical components: talent and experience. Winston wins both of those hands down over both TH7 and Book.
In cap numbers for QB's, 2020 had Winston with 52 QB's in the league all making more than he did...52! In 2021, there are 36 QB's making more than him. You don't get paid for potential usually and his performance through his career is a "get what you pay for" deal. He has the opportunity, but a LONG rope to climb to undo almost everything about his football DNA. He has POTENTIAL and that is it. It has always been Hill's to lose, even with a 50/50 QB competition because of what Hill has shown, HIS time in the system and intangibles. CSP goes with who he trusts to WIN...not stats, WINs. People get butt hurt thinking some are bashing Winston, but will go out of there to way to diminish Hill as a passer. His small snapshots at QB starting have shown more progress and growth than Winston has. Hill has shown he can work well with a CSP scheme and even changing up schemes. That gets me more excited (I don't mean with Winston with the Saints...in what Hill has done here and his progression and Winston's professional career). That is realistic. To be fair, Winston has this offseason and preseason to prove he CAN do it and will be given every opportunity, but CSP is not going to cherry pick and create a whole scheme just for Winston, he will have tweaks and installs that favor what he can do, if shows even WHAT he can do consistently. What some are saying is just by default, even, the makeup of the personnel is one that favors Hill or even an Ian Book more than Winston.
