Yes another thread by PanthersUnited, I felt this was newsworthy and affects the Panthers quite a bit and just came across this now after I posted my other thread. so cut me some slack. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000484680/article/jameis-winston-needs-to-grow-up-off-the-field-his-attorney-says

A few days ago we heard another woman come out with rape allegations, now his very own lawyer is saying he isn't ready to basically be the off the field player to make it in the NFL . Keep in mind this is his OWN lawyer saying this, that's huge. This isn't Nolan Naworcki or Mel Kiper Jr. It's his own freakin lawyer lol.

This is huge for us because either A. It could possibly cause the Bucs to go elsewhere in the draft or B. They draft him anyway and he becomes Justin Blackmon 2.0 at the QB position. Either way, great news for us ;)

If I'm Tampa, I'd still draft home. It doesn't hurt financially like it use to because of the rookie wage scale.

It's opportunity cost though, drafting a high risk player like Winston with huge red flags costs them the opportunity at another pro bowl caliber player that's avaliable

If you have a QB in the NFL, you can compete.  If don't, you can't.  It's pretty much that simple.

 

Now that the rookie salary scale protects teams from having to pay top picks like future Hall of Famers, you almost have to roll the dice on a guy if you think he's a potential franchise QB and you don't have one.  It's the exact reason why I wanted the Panthers to take Cam #1 overall.  There were a ton of question marks about him in terms of being able to play QB in the NFL, but the raw talent was undeniable.  Under the rookie salary scale, I felt like we couldn't afford to pass him up.  Under the old system of paying him a poo ton of guaranteed money, I would've been mighty nervous.

That could mean a lot of things.  I think depending on how you already view Winston. you will take different meanings. 

 

That being said, any lawyer that would utter that statement I would fire immediately.  In the same interview he was speaking about how the media blows things out of proportion he gives out that "not ready off the field " nugget.  In which the media promptly blows it out of proportion.

 

Matter of fact, with a lawyer that stupid, he must be innocent.

      All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
