You mean the year he went 4-10. Stop trying to compare a backup QB to a MVP and HOF QB. You're going to lose that fight. 

You mean the guy that averaged 17.68 INTs/season?

In 5 years Brett Favre had 77 ints with 147 TD in a day defense was allowed to defend. In 5 years Winston has 88 INTs with 121 TDs in a pass friendly league. That's after getting a MVP and a Super Bowl. Remind me what Winston has done? Shall we keep playing or do you want to cherry pick some more?

To me Winston’s biggest issue is pocket awareness. Any kind of pressure up the middle and he freaks out and either fumbles, takes a huge loss on a sack, or makes a terrible throw. If he can work in that he might be able to salvage his career.

I don't have to play, I literally already did a comparison and it is recorded in the forum. Feel free to look it up.

Winston, much like Favre, has the kind of stats you would expect to see from a gunslinger QB. The reason he isn't as successful are largely that Green Bay was a great franchise and could mostly overcome Favre's dramatic weaknesses(he was primarily the reason they didn't win more Super Bowls). Sort of like having a game managing QB, gunslingers need things to go well around them because for every laser game winning TD in the middle of three defenders that they throw you will get a crippling INT that loses you the game(something that Favre was literally infamous for). 

That is literally the nature of that kind of QB. Winston isn't "not intelligent" and there is really not a lot to "fix." They play that style of football and you have to take the good with the bad. 

Did you forget the insane video game stats Winston put up in his 30 INT season? Well, that's part of it. You take the good with the bad. You remember the 7 4th Quarter Comebacks and 11 Game Winning Drives Winston had? Yeah, that's the good part of having a gunslinger. 

So, no matter how upset or offended you get, it isn't going to change what Jameis Winston is and has always been.

I personally hate to see that for drew, internal organ injuries aren’t a joke besides that ribs are painful, and the man aside from being a phenomenal player, is a good person I hope drew has a speedy and painless recovery .

I would agree with that.

 *plenty of pointless, out-dated, willfully omitted, and in some instances downright inaccurate information in this post*

Anyways, I’m not sure where the clown that wrote that blog is getting the $54M figure for emergency repairs and $376M figure for non-emergency repairs but the ENTIRE post-Katrina renovation (2006-2011) was only $336M, so that’s $94M in bull**** off the bat.

Of that $336M figure, $184M was directly related to the 2006 renovation...

Quote

The Federal Emergency Management Agency paid for $115 million worth of repairs. The state spent $13 million, as required by FEMA. The Louisiana Stadium & Exposition District refinanced a bond package used for other sports facilities in the area to secure $41 million and the NFL contributed a $15 million grant.

As for the other recent renovations...

2016 renovations: $40M

Quote

The renovations and enhancements to Mercedes-Benz Superdome and Smoothie King Center are estimated to cost of $40 million and will be funded in large part by Saints and Pelicans owner Tom Benson.

According to the announcement, Benson has committed $25 million to the project, and SMG, the facilities operator, will contribute an additional $5 million dollars for a total private commitment of $30 million.

2020-2024 renovations: $450M

Quote

Under the terms of the financing deal, the Saints have agreed to fund a third of the project costs, or up to about $150 million, and the LSED will fund $210 million through issuing bonds. The state would cover the remaining $90 million if needed.

So from the numbers I can find, that’s at least $113M from the state vs. $175M from the Saints (from just the last renovation and this current one), not even including the money from the LSED.

Also, this tidbit from one of the articles I linked above sums it up well...

Quote

Since the Superdome reopened in 2006, events there have had a fiscal impact of $4.1 billion on the Louisiana economy, according to a study by the University of New Orleans. By 2025, the end of the Saints' current lease, the Superdome is projected to have a total fiscal impact of $19.9 billion.

Not a bad trade for the state at all.

Good person and Saints don’t belong in the same sentence.   Unless there is “anything but” in there.
