The New Orleans Saints are in the potential process of finding a new quarterback, and Jameis Winston can be that guy.

This season, Saints’ Jameis  Winston saw 5.02 percent of offensive snaps, the other backup quarterback Taysom Hill saw 43.96 percent of offensive snaps — while not all at quarterback.

The reason for Hill’s snap count gap over Winston is that he plays four offensive positions which is why he is still on the roster in the first place.

However, now that the Saints are looking for a new starting quarterback, Hill is going to get passed on the depth chart. Or, at least that’s the assumption as the Saints enter a period of uncertainty.

Jameis Winston should be the next in line for the Saints’ throne. After they kept Brees last year and let Bridgewater walk to Carolina, they had to sign another quarterback with the potential to be the future Hall-of-Famer’s replacement.

Luckily, they have found that in a former NFL passing leader. Under the guidance and leadership of Sean Payton, Winston can be one of the top quarterbacks in the league. Hopefully, because of these reasons, Winston will thrive as the next starter for the Saints.
