Winston it is!

[LennG]

Come on guys, we needed a bridge QB till whomever we do draft will be ready to go. Winston isn't the future and we sure aren't going to the playoffs next year.
For what we got him, it's a steal. We would never get Rodgers for that and if we did get Rodgers, do you really think we xould win a lot more games? The future is whomever we do draft and Winston is just a placeholder.

So lets ask this. Is Winston a better QB than Daniel Jones?

Sorry all you JW fans but if he's QB1, then cutting Jones and eating the cap and then signing Winston?

I'll say it. Beyond stupid.

If they still sign Wilson, then no QB in the first round. Ok, I can buy that one.

If its Flacco and Winston, then that's also beyond stupid for a QB competition.

Whats the guaranteed money?

The differentiator is that Winston pushes the ball downfield while Jones either can't or won't. Not to mention the offense being called had to be significantly altered to accommodate Jones deficiencies as a passer, and you wouldn't have to do that with Winston. I'd much rather turn it over attacking 20 yards downfield, than turning it over trying a 2 yard out to Wandale. That's my opinion though.

What would be the point of keeping Jones? He's damaged goods and his performance was a limiting factor for the offense. To a man, every person on this site was frustrated at the lack of deep throws because Jones was shortsighted.

We know what we had in Jones and what we're getting in Winston. For 4 million a year for a veteran QB with a live arm, I'd do that every time.

Jones is the same QB as Winston. 13 TDs and 12 ints. Let's see what the next move is.

So you also think he's QB1? Ok, maybe its me. I don't see it.

I think he's significantly better than Jones. That's just my opinion. He's a bit wild but look at the numbers the browns WRs just put up with him starting. None of them are nearly as talented as Nabers. Hyatt might finally be able to get off the bench. It'll even help Tracy. The team just became watchable. And they're still drafting a QB but at least now they don't have to play the rookie before he's ready and when he is ready Winston won't be a pain in the ass about stepping aside.

Oh absolutely not, I don't particularly like Winston, Wilson, or Rodgers. I am however more optimistic with Winston, than Jones, but we definitely need another Qb.

Yea. Do happy dance..everyone..and inspiring guy..yea.       

[spiderblue43]

Jameis is the ultimate test for Dabes..he has amazing talent

But yea,, spider is very good here

[MrGap92]

Winston isn't anything special, but he is absolutely better than Jones or Lock, no question.

[H-Town G-Fan]

Jones is the same QB as Winston. 13 TDs and 12 ints. Let's see what the next move is.

Jameis is career 4.8 TD%, 3.5 INT%, 7.6 YPA.

Jones is 3.1 TD%, 2.1 INT%, 6.5 YPA.

I don't know how you can reasonably claim they're the same quarterback. Jameis is a gunslinger while Jones is a dink-and-dunk game manager (who lost his best asset in running due to injuries). Personally, I'd much rather watch Jameis air it out and turn it over than suffer Jones continually staring down his target and throwing behind the sticks. Both are, at best, bridge QBs in the end. At least with Winston you have the upside of letting Nabers, Slayton and Johnson make plays downfield to challenge the defense.

Mostly, I'm just glad it's DONE!  Now draft Hunter or Carter and trade up from 34 and grab Dart!

maybe Dart or Sanders will surprise me and start mid-season. Maybe the still sign Wilson and draft Hunter or Carter and work the second pick for a QB.

Either way they lose. This way they spend 8 million more. I still don't think they ride with Winston.

Well, at least they have a QB in the house besides Tommy.

[spiderblue43]

Because he can a perfect bridge for Nabors..get him deep..throw the rock
sixty yards penalty maybe

I think about Nabors..omg ..he must happy
