 When you see this What's the first thing that comes to your mind? Some of you may say 30 for 30 and I'm not talking about the special on ESPN Some of you may say crab legs. Some of you may think back to Florida State Some of you may think to something as small as when James Winston is playing you seeing him go but recently There have been a quote that's been floating around for the past couple of days and That quote reads I know what I'm worth and I know day in and day out without publicly coming in and saying it that Historically, I'm one of the best quarterbacks to play the game James Winston he recently had a phone interview with Bleacher reports Tyler Dunn and That has been a quote that has been driving a lot of people crazy They've been making fun of James Winston and you have seen memes galore But when I initially saw that quote I was thinking okay, I Don't know what's going on over there in New Orleans right now, but there have been a lot of quotes There have been a lot of interviews that have come out of New Orleans over the past couple of months About all three of their quarterbacks whether it was from the quarterback directly or from somebody speaking about the quarterback That have really ruffled some feathers There was Drew Brees and all that fiasco There's this with James Winston saying that he's one of the best ever Then of course there were multiple people Brady Pupenga talking about taste some heel and there was Who else spoke about taste some heel the former Saints coach former Saints special teams coach When they would compare him to Lamar Jackson And even Jake laser got in on it, too So Comments and quotes either from or regarding those three New Orleans quarterbacks Have been sending the internet crazy recently. It has been quite the offseason over there for the New Orleans quarterbacks So I guess James he wanted a piece of the pie, too, right? Well, I know some people when they first read it They may have even gotten a little bit offended like you what you just threw 30 interceptions and you think you wanted the best why? So as we talk about with this channel when we see quotes like these We need to look for context because one thing that I wanted to make sure I did was not Take his quote out of context and not just take that quote and run with it. So let's see what was said And again, this is from bleacher report calm the interviewer was Tyler Dunn. They did this interview via phone Anyway, it says the last time we saw Winston He sure seemed upset moments after coming the NFL's first 30 interception quarterback since 1988 After what what would be his final game as a buccaneer? He took the podium and became fed up with questions about the picks He told the world then sternly that if he fixes this one issue I'm going to be the best. That's bar none. You better check your sheet He's glad he spoke up. He felt like those in the room were trying to make him out to be a terrible quarterback. I Know what I'm worth Winston tells bleacher report by phone from Alabama and I know day in and day out Without publicly coming in and saying it that historically I'm one of the best quarterbacks To play the game So that was the quote now. Let's keep going. Let's see the follow-up. We saw the context before Let's look at the context after because that's important Now that the dust has settled after all the NFL's general managers and head coaches made it clear Winston in fact isn't even a starter at the moment You have to expect him to detonate with fury yet. He does not not even close He defends his raw emotion in that moment calling it a confidence point in his career And James Winston is genuinely rejuvenated Excited you'd never know. He's a backup his voice spikes with very real enthusiasm He isn't upset at the buccaneers. He isn't upset at anyone rather Winston is 100% embracing what essentially What's essentially a do or die crossroads in his career? It's a love of the game, bro. It's bigger than me. He says do I feel like I've earned my stripes? I do do I feel like I'm better than a lot of starting quarterbacks in this league I do but God has a plan that I haven't even thought of yet. I have to respect this game first Respect is earned So if a team believes I'm not good enough to be there starting quarterback, okay, let me earn my way back up I've done it my whole life. It's not like it's just starting to happen and That's precisely what he plans to do earn it Winston has a master plan to become an NFL starter once again One set into emotion the instant that 2019 season concluded he went vegan losing 17 pounds and counting I didn't know that he had laser surgery to improve his vision. No more squinting He's fixing the interception problem drill to drill. That's important. He's now learning from a canton bound quarterback So we can stop there And of course you can read the article for yourself the in its entirety on bleach report calm but When I read that and saw the context of the entire thing I I just thought it was yeah, it was confidence just like the article said It's James Winston being confident in himself Is James Winston believing in himself is James Winston really trying his best to make the best of his current situation And I really fit if James Winston can can can really show these saints something If he can really show these saints something Because he's in a really good opportunity right now. He's in a really good spot Yeah, they did resign drew breeze for two years But James Winston if he shows enough man, he could end up Being drew breeze successor you never know you never know But for him to be able to learn from a drew breeze learn from a Sean Peyton Be in that Saints offense with um, what call Michael It's it's a really really good opportunity for him and again, he's Obviously doing everything to himself physically to improve himself physically Losing 17 pounds. He knows the game is fast. He's been in the game for what four or five years now He knows how quick the NFL game is those defenders come in you want to try to make somebody miss We obviously know James Winston is no Lamar Jackson, but if he can move a little bit that can help his game even more And I know a lot of Saints fans they um, they wish that drew breeze I mean not that he could lose any weight because if he lost any more weight then he would probably be a stick figure But a lot of Saints fans that was one of their frustrations with uh drew breeze this past season that He just he couldn't move like that And drew breeze was never a runner quarterback like that But he did have some not sneaky speed, but he was able to move around a little bit more back then But with james winston lost 17 pounds and it said and counting because he's going vegan And then the lasik surgery again Something that we mentioned at the beginning of the video when you see the james winston Jersey it may have brought up several different memories for you personally of james winston But one that I think of every time I would see james winston is him going like that Him squinting his eyes because he couldn't see he couldn't see clearly And I don't know how he did it as a quarterback I I just don't know. Maybe he just saw the color red when they had on their home jerseys and said, you know, I'ma throw it that way um, but Him getting lasik surgery. That's big. I think that's bigger than a lot of people realize. I really do um, because it's like When you can see stuff You can when you can when you look and you just see colors and shapes and whatever That's one thing but when you see stuff clearly when you see stuff in hd. It changes everything It changes everything for the better It makes you just enjoy life better if you're driving on a road You may be able to see the red lights and the green lights and whatnot And you know, you can you have to stop at certain places But then when you're driving on the road and you put on your glasses or your contacts or whatever and you can see clearly Oh, you can see the beautiful trees. Oh, you can see. Oh, that's a nice little food stop right there I might have to go pick up a burger from there one time You can see the name of the street. So you don't just have to go buy what's around Like, oh, you got to make a left here at the beach. Oh, you got to make a left Or buy that stops. No, you can see the actual names of the street. So you know exactly where you are And james Winston knows exactly where he is in his career Because he he knows obviously yeah, people didn't view him as a starter They didn't view him as a starter. So what did he do? He's doing everything that he possibly can to correct his issues So he's trying not to limit himself physically to where he can do more physically And he's also working on his mental part of the game So I have absolutely no problem with his comments I I love him I love him because again Um, and I I I even liked him before before even looked at the context of the article in the context of the comments But now after looking at the context of those comments I love it even more Um, I hope james Winston does very well Um, I think that is clear that he is and will be the number two quarterback in new orleans Because I I do not even though they did give him the extension. I do not envision the saints having Taysom hill as their number two quarterback They do love him and appreciate everything that he does. I mean they gave him a nice little extension there But I don't think they extended him as a quarterback somebody when in a video that we talked about Taysom hill They made a very good point When We talked about Taysom hill receiving that extension Um, somebody mentioned well, uh Taysom hill, he plays like five six different positions So yes, he did get an extension, but it's like covering five six different roster spots all in one And I was like, oh, okay. That makes a lot of sense So we'll see how things go with james winston. Um, I will personally be rooting for him And I hope that he does get to get another shot. Um in the nfl Uh, because I thought a really good situation for him a perfect situation for him Uh, would have been if he would have went to pizburg's dealers Um, because he would just be one hit away From getting in the game and I mean as a backup quarterback, you're always one hit away from getting in the game Um, but when the starting quarterback has more of a history of injuries injuries um, I think that That raises your chances of getting back in and doing what you love again Um as a starter But we'll see what happens We'll see what happens. We'll be keeping an eye on james winston. Um, and just seeing how this entire thing plays out So team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all and always remember Context matters. I'm out
