Things could be a lot worse for the NOLA Saints at the quarterback position. Yes, their soon-to-be Hall of Fame quarterback retired over the offseason but Jameis Winston, his likely successor, is a former No. 1 overall pick who has no issues with airing out the football.

The Saints might not be the same team that they were with Drew Brees at the helm but they still have a very good roster and Winston gives them a chance to remain a competitive team.

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports listed Winston as the NFC South’s most likely breakout candidate. La Canfora had this to say:

In his second year with Sean Payton, and with a great cast around him, Winston can do big things with the Saints. Better protection than he had in Tampa, a less high-risk scheme, and a better running attack will provide more balance and more guard rails for the interception-prone passer. Having Taysom Hill as a change of pace will also help Winston and keep him in situations that play most to his strengths. After spending most of 2020 on the bench learning from Payton and Drew Brees, I expect him to have a fairly prolific 2021 season and help keep the Saints viable in the NFC South, while the Falcons and Pantherssputter with their rebuilds.
