On one of them he had #80 wide open in the middle of the field and he just kind of panicked and ran into pressure, rather than throwing the timing pass for when #80 settled into the open zone.

I get what you mean Diz 100%, however if Winston were still in Tampa that's a pick. I think Sean P/Carmichael are coaching those bad decisions out of him. We all know he can make those throws when the WR breaks free.

Live for another day.

I think he’s hesitant to let the ball go because he doesn’t want to throw a pick. The gift and the curse of him being more cautious. He has to get more comfortable and confident. Did y’all see Teddy today? He looked excellent. I expect to see Jameis the be same way once he knows it’s his team and he’s playing with his starters.
