Jameis Winston deserves a hefty portion of the blame in the New Orleans Saints’ loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
But he doesn’t deserve to be benched. Not yet.
It’s easy to say, at the end of a defeat, that the game was lost at the beginning, but it’s true. The Saints gave up a score minutes into the first quarter, and everything went downhill from there.
There were only a few rare, fleeting moments when we believed New Orleans could climb out of their self-dug hole.
There were far more moments that had us palming our faces and shaking our heads at the inconsistent ring leader of the Saints circus today that was Jameis Winston.
