Jaworski believes the Bucs will take Mariota

Dude a decent QB can't overcome not having a running game and a mediocre defense on top of having a turnover prone offense. You can't honestly sit there and believe that. FSU 2012 defense was ranked 5th in the country. FSU 2010 defense was ranked 40th. And neither of those teams were one of the worst rushing offenses in the country. FSU defense looked lost all season, it was not due to the offense it was due to the players not picking up/not buying into new Defensive Coordinator Charles Kelly scheme.

Your assertion that FSU was never going to have a strong running game because of Winston makes no sense. In 2013 FSU rushing game was ranked 28th in the country. FSU running game and interior pass blocking was so poor because of the loss of Bryan Stork at center. The same Bryan Stork that was an all American his sr year at FSU and started for the Patriots at center as a rookie on the their super bowl run. FSU was unable to replace him with Barron or Hoefield. They were so bad that Cam Erving was forced to move from LT to Center late in the season. Come to find out it was the best decision of Erving career because he absolutely killed it at center and allowed for Dalvin Cook to be one of the most dominant RBs in college football the final 5 games of the season.

Those other FSU teams had better defenses partly because they ran ball control offenses with Ponder and Manuel, which why there rushing attacks were also stronger. A game manager can win games in FSU and you know it.

And for the most part last year FSU was winning in spite of Winston. Unless there QB is complete trash FSU will continue to win regularly without Winston.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
