Jameis Winston Claims Everyone Was Shocked The Giants Won A 12-7 Game Because 'We're All Used To Him Throwing For 500 Yards And Interceptions'
I can't quit him, man. I don't know what to say, I mean it's a perfect quote. He's right. No one thought we would win a 12-7 game. I sure didn't. Why? Because we lose those games all the time. We got so used to losing on that last drive instead of Cam Ward throwing a dot to Jevon Holland. The moment that happened all of us Giants fans had to basically re-wire our brains to remember we can win ugly.
But this is about Jameis. I don't know who is used to him throwing for 500 yards and interceptions. Great line. But it's been so long since that 30/30 season. I mean he's also old. He's not slinging it around like he used to. But I love the thought process of him still being young at heart. It's what we need when he goes back to the backup role.
That's leadership right there. Invite JJ to the workouts and routine. That said, I love the original answer from Jameis. He doesn't need to throw for 500 yards and a ton of picks. Manage the game to win. Not everyone can go 62% for less than 150 yards and win. Jameis can. It's the identity. It's the new identity of Giants football.
Find ways to win games that you would always lose. Sure, I'd love to see a 40 point game this week, but I don't give a shit if we don't and it's a win. This is all Jameis has to do. Eliminate the negatives. Keep the ball, let our freak punter do his thing if he has to and trust the defense to shut guys down. Let the other team make mistakes. Never change, Jameis. Except in the red zone. Score touchdowns there and we're all good.
