Jameis Winston on Remaining Benched. 'It Hurts My Soul'
Saints head coach Dennis Allen has decided to stick with Andy Dalton at quarterback despite the fact that Jameis Winston is getting back to full health. Dalton has been the starting quarterback since the Saints' game against the Minnesota Vikings in London on Oct. 2. Allen hinted at the beginning of this week that he was considering a quarterback change because of offensive struggles for the past two games, but he ultimately decided against it.
Winston said he was under the impression that he would eventually return as the starter after a conversation with Allen in London.
When speaking with the media on Friday, Winston made it clear that he is upset over how the decision to stick with Dalton was made.
«It hurts my soul,» Winston said, via Jack Culotta Jr. «I lost my job due to injury. And the policy has always been that you don't lose your job because of injury.»
