Tragic: Bucs set to move on from Jameis Winston after season


Recommended Posts

Worst news you will hear all day

It appears that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had enough. After seeing four years and six games of the same inconsistency out of quarterback Jameis Winston, reports are surfacing that the pewter and red are set to move on from their former first overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.

According to Bleacher Report and NFL insider Mike Freeman, both the Bucs and the Tennessee Titans are primed to “reset their sights” at the quarterback position after the 2019 season. Winston and Marcus Mariota, the first and second overall picks from 2015, have both struggled to find any sort of rhythm, both being benched at points in their careers.

Winston, on his third coach in five years, was expected to take a leap in his contract year with the Bucs as quarterback whisperer Bruce Arians took over the reigns in Tampa. Through the first four games, it looked as though Winston had taken strides, but after back-to-back rough outings for the former Florida State Heisman winner, it appears the Bucs have had enough.

This could be seen coming, as the Bucs were spotted at Oregon’s last game, presumably scouting Justin Herbert. It has also been rumored that Arians has taken a liking to LSU quarterback Joe Burrow as well.

I honestly have a weird feeling that he will be good once he gets away from Tampa. The Bucs never put a good oline around him and he doesn't have the build of Cam to help negate a poo oline.

Winston is just too wildly inconsistent - he is capable of making most throws in the NFL, but always seems to have those ~5 passes each game that has you saying "what the hell were you thinking"

    • Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.  
    • height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.   
    • People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
