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"

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
