NFL personnel compare Famous Jameis to JaMarcus Russell:

I worry about Jameis off field, and a little about his conditioning.

 

Not worried at all about his ability, or smarts.

 

 

I prefer a grounded, down to Earth QB that doesn't cause distractions.  Hopefully Jameis can be that in the NFL, he was not able to handle that in college.

For those of you calling this lazy journalism, you are all idiots.

The author did not say that he thought Winston was anything like Russell. He only reported what personnel members of various teams said about Winston.

Winston does show major signs of immaturity and arrogance in his behavior. From the crab leg incident...to the rape accusations..to the standing on tables and yelling vulgar statements to women. Any one of these and maybe you say immaturity. However, when looking at them in totality and the fact that he has not learned from any if them ARE big red flags on character that teams will look at.

You may not agree with the team assessments...but reporting them is not lazy journalism.

Reporting them is lazy journalism. Like 3/4ths of NFL.com articles.

This.  Some personnel said this and the guy is just reporting their comments...which aren't entirely off base but I think the comparison in itself is lazy. 

 

 

Beyond all of the off the field crap, his first-half accuracy issues are a legit concern and he tends to just have brain farts during games.  I've been surprised that hasn't been mentioned more in the media.  Winston had some games where it took him an entire quarter or more to get that offense going.  The Florida, Miami and NC State games immediately come to mind.  I know he ended up turning it on quite well against the pack, but the type of holes he dug aren't as easily escapable in the NFL.

 

He knows how to finish pretty darn well though but I think people saw what happened to him without KB.  Good thing TB has Evans, SJ, and Jackson for their sake.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
