no risk. It no biscuit which leads us to our number, 26
quarterback here.
No longer is in that system and has been showing some positive
Improvement. Yes. He has. I don't, you know again, Jameis
Winston
say what you want.
He certainly deserves to be around this area
as one of the better best quarterbacks in all of the world 2026
last year. So you had him right here, right here, right? Come
on. Off that injury, but you dragons sticks right back to
where he was. Yeah. It
makes me
feel good, and a lot of ways for him. The fact that, hey, he
tackled some demons last year. That wasn't easy. There was
a ton of pressure on Jameis Winston last year.
Ton. Take over for Drew Brees. Oh s***. Am I ever going to be
a starter again? If I don't play well, you know,
oh man, Sean Payton's,
you know, watching over my shoulder and I better not throw
a damn interception or be careless or Reckless or do some
of that. Biscuit biscuit, should I used to do in Tampa?
I'm going to be on the bench.
That was, that's not easy to play like that
to go. Like and then taysom Hill be there where they go.
Whoa. I know the coach kind of likes him and he's, they win
games when he comes in play. So
that was not easy.
Now, was he perfect? No,
but I mean still did a lot of good things and he was 14,
touchdowns three interceptions. You know,
the one thing I'll say about Jameis Winston is this, and it
kind of Pops to me every year. He's amazing in the pocket. He
really is his athletic ability is always better.
Other than I remember it being when I turn on,
whether it's running or even just a movement in the pocket.
He is a big time.
Throw her the football between 10 to 10 and 20 yards,
man. Does he hit a lot of great? 15 16 18 yard throws
do? I wish he was a little more accurate. Had a quicker release
on some of the short game quick stuff. Precision stuff
certainly, but you know, I think one thing he showed us
last year is
he can get some of that disease risk. It biscuit stuff out of
them. He was Order. He took sacks at the right time. He
threw the ball away,
you know, he did not do any of the famous Jameis Winston
stuff. We had seen that, we made fun of them for and that
shows that there were some growth and he's coachable that
way,
and he can play a different style of football. So I think
between that, you know, that's why I make him number 26 on
this list. Yeah, his numbers from 2019, versus what he did
last year are completely different.
2019. Of course, is that 30 interception year, which was
his worst. It's not like he was doing that every year in Tampa,
like the 30 interceptions was an anomaly for him. It's not
like he,
he's throwing that many every year.
It did have a few but yes, not 30
last year. Yeah, as you mentioned 14, touchdowns three
interceptions. I looked it up to. That's his best touchdown
percentage, you know, touchdown passes per passes thrown right
of his career and his best interception percentage of his
career. So in a lot of ways before he got hurt, he was he
was off to
a career year, you think? Sean Payton, and now he's gone
there.
But do you think they've unlocked something? Will be
long lasting for him. Or how do you think? Do you think he
needed Sean Payton there? No, I think
I think that it was great that he was there and I think that
was probably just the presence. He needed to kind of have that
pressure and change right
now. He can go wait. I know how to play that way a little. It's
still the same staff,
but I think it'll be less pressure
a little bit without Sean. Payton breathing down his neck.
I mean Sean Payton's, an intimidating Force. There's no
doubt. He's got a way about him. That's, you know, it's got
like that. Parcells Belichick. He just stares at you and he's
like, oh, he's looking through my soul here.
He knows what I'm thinking when I made that dumb decision. How
dare he, you know, so I think you know, that's I think it
could be actually a positive in some ways
that he's not there. He doesn't feel the pressure but also can
go. Wait. I know how to play the Saints way. It's still
the same offense, you know, and like I said, there's some
things he needs to improve on
certainly. But you know again
as we've stated in years past,
Some of his high-end stuff is high-end.
That's where like
some of the plays and throws he makes you go damn
like that's that's top 15 quarterback territory those throws.
And then the fact that we the problem was we used to see
a lot of top 10, top 15 ish plays and we go. Yeah, but their's
this is bottom forty and fifty type plays
in the same game later on,
you know, so that's what scares you
and I think last year he got that out of his system. So
we'll see where it goes from there. And again,
To that. Let's make sure we know this. Yeah. No,
there wasn't great talent around him and receiver last year.
There's, there's nothing,
there's no tight end.
Alvin Kamara was kind of in and out of the lineup, early in
the year. And that Parts there no receiver, you know, so
it wasn't like, it was just
like, set up for him to just throw for 5,000 yards and set
the world on fire. Right? I thought he did a lot of good
things the injury. I hope he can come back from, I don't
think he's going to be a huge issue from it. And again in his
game is not running and scrambling.
It's moving in the
And just make him big. Like I said, 15, 20 yard throws is
where he special got to get better in the shorter quicker
game though. That's where. That's where you see the area
of definitely meant for that offense. They're so good at
getting people open and
six and eight yard throws and he's got a little bit of that.
You know, you've seen Jim. Can you picture that motion? Where
he kind of winds up, right? Like almost two hands. Yeah,
Whirlybirds it. He's a small hand, the way he grips,
the football. He grips, kind of the fatter part of the ball
to where he can't, just manipulate it with his hand that way.
Maybe like some of the other quarterbacks can
that ACL tear week seven. That was a huge bummer, but he was
asked recently on NFL Network talking to Steve Mariucci. He
said, coach if you need me to strap it up right now I'd be
able to go so he's feeling pretty
good. Yeah, Feelin healthy. So hopefully he can start maybe
week one. I also I would think he would, I think he would
start week one, you know. Again, not that I'm a doctor.
But you and I am and we re following of sports where we
just
go but that that injury happened what week? Eight weeks
of so 7. So, yeah, that's that's
It's
that's a lot of time. I would think for a quarterback
that he'll be he'll be ready to go for sure for training camp
and be ready for Week 1. And we do want to make sure to specify
that we are not doctors, right? Because if anyone was at their
man, like aw, Chris is a doctor, I think. Yeah, we're
not we're not doctor. Absolutely not don't take what
we say. Medically pleased. I sound advice. Yes.
Energy. Drinks are fine. You know, that's what I think.
Yeah. So Chris would disagree with me doctor. And I say
they're not.
