Less than an hour before the latest quarterback domino dropped, an NFC talent evaluator made their case: Jameis Winston is well-suited to be a bridge quarterback.
The veteran whom the New York Giants signed Friday night has demonstrated the highs of quarterbacking (a 5,000-yard season!) and the lows (a 30-interception season!), a full showcase from which a rookie could learn.
Winston’s unique personality, the evaluator reasoned, would energize a team. His high-octane potential could give the franchise early hope. But then, as reality set in in the form of weekly multi-interception games, the Giants would have a smooth path to saying: Bench the turnover-creating veteran and start the rookie.
