"I think it’s a consensus among Florida State fans and boosters that he was an embarrassment in a lot of ways to the university. He won a lot of ball games, probably one of the best football players that ever attended Florida State, but he hurt himself off the field. The good news is that he’s young enough to get over that, ya know it? And he’s gotta do that. But he just can’t make those junior high school decisions that he made while he was in college."

Was never a big Bowden fan, but is he ever right about this one.

Let me see if I've got this right...

 

BOBBY BOWDEN is criticizing Jameis Winston?

 

Bobby "Boys will be boys" Bowden?  Who wrote a letter to a judge in defense of a serial rapist who was one of his former players?

Just cant let the guy enjoy his new professional career and clean slate for 5 minutes. Gonna hear how immature he is and past bad judgements till he does something controversial again. Typical procedure...where have we seen this before??

Yeah, who wasn't arrested for theft and investigated for rape during college? Leave that poor child alone!

Thou shalt not judge...and yes, I still find myself judging. Winston passes the eye-test. but he could turn out to be the next JaMarcuss Russell if he doesn't take his job seriously.

Winston thrived in a system that tolerates repeated instances of poor behavior as long as an individual has the talent to win football games on Friday and Saturday.

 

It says more about our society's misplaced priorities than it does JW.

 

The vast majority of college students behaving in a similar manner would have more than likely been expelled and possibly spent some time in jail.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
