The Saints beat the Packers by 35 points on Sunday with the historically erratic Jameis Winston under center and the historically excellent Michael Thomas on the sidelines. Five of Winston’s 14 attempts went for touchdowns. His passer rating was better against Green Bay (130.8) than it was in any game under Bruce Arians and Byron Leftwich, the coach and coordinator tandem that just won the Super Bowl.
Of course, we have no earthly idea how this whole season will turn out. Throughout his life, Winston has had enough of these games to inspire some blind confidence, only to again find comfort in his pocket dysfunction.
