Jameis Winston and NFL Network

Indeed.

Only one player besides Cam drafted from that 2010 Auburn team: Lee Ziemba, Carolina Panthers, 7th round 2011.

How many high round draft picks have come from Winston's FSU teams?

To be fair, Nick Fairly was drafted the next year and is awesome (if not out of shape). But I totally agree, Winston has had way more high picks than Cam has, and had KB. So, yeah.

I don't think Winston is going to manage to be anything other than a big QB with horrible turnover/decision problems (I would say Josh Freeman, but someone would turn it into a racial thing).

Jameis passes the eye test but he won't be a serious threat until he's into his third year.

by then, we'll all know his krypton ire and it will be too late to keep up with Cam and the Panthers as we continue to move forward as I feel our worst football of this new era is behind us.

Ive seen at least 20 different tweets from media members including those on the NFL Network saying people think Winston is immature, acts like a 10 year old, an idiot, that people should be scared, etc.

Stop being so damn sensitive and using selective hearing because you can't get over your Cam persecution complex.

So fuging right and can't say it better. I just don't know why fans like to mention Cam every time when we are talking about another qb, can't they just fuging stop?

Lol! Cam committed the ultimate sin in college sports. He was at the middle of a pay-for-play scandal, he managed to still play at a high level despite the distractions, and once 99.9% of the talking heads "knew" he'd be found guilty & ripped up by the ncaa... he beat the charges.

THAT'S where a lot of the hate came from he showed them to be wrong. Many continue to jump at the chance to take a swipe at him because he continued to do so.

Its simple really.

Talking heads expected Cam to be Jamarcus Russell, didn't want to be wrong.

Now talking heads are expecting Jameis to be Cam and once again don't want to be wrong.

Bingo.

Lots of "experts" told us Cam would fail... they're not going to risk losing any more face with Jameis.

Thank you. Shame on me for forgetting Nick Fairley (that years Lombardi Award winner). He was a goddam college BEAST.

But your follow-up point is valid. Winston had the pleasure of throwing passes to Kelvin Benjamin and Rashad Greene. Cam? Darvin Adams and Terrell Zachary.

    • The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman. 
    • And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!
    • If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
