Could be bad since it's midseason, which is when he tends to be his worst.

Could be good since he's coming off the bench, which is when he tends to do his best.

We'll see which guy shows up on Sunday.

But yeah, I'd have probably preferred Winston. At least he sucks on a consistent basis.

Probably worse for us for one game since Fitzpatrick seems to be better in that offense, but this is damning news for Jameis.  I don't know how they go back to him or commit to him in the future at this point.

Regardless, uncertainty at the QB position either in the short-term or long-term is good for us.  Having an unsettled QB situation for next year is a good thing.

Seems like Koetter knows he is done after this year if he doesn't make the playoffs and is grasping at straws.  This is not the move of someone who expects to there long-term.

Can't be good news for the Bucs GM either.  His whole tenure is tied to Jameis.  To basically give up on him means he's out too if they don't make playoffs.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
