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"

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
