The Gift and the Curse: What the Saints are getting from new quarterback Jameis Winston

If you squint a little bit, there isn’t that big of a difference between former New Orleans Saints backup Teddy Bridgewater and now current Saints backup Jameis Winston. On the 1147 straight dropbacks in Bridgewater’s career, he’s posted a 74.6 passing grade. On the 2654 straight dropbacks, Winston is at a 73.7 mark. They’ve carved out about the same value to their teams — they’ve just gotten there in impossibly different ways. After trying to get Teddy to open up and express himself more, Sean Payton will need to find a way to have Jameis keep some things to himself.
