Hot take: Our team is the biggest question mark in the league.

It only takes a mis-step by a WR with limited game time, and Winston starts notching turnovers again.

Or not.

What I mean is, if an inexperienced WR runs the wrong routes or is not on the same page as Winston, he could start throwing interceptions again, ones that aren't his fault but a turnover nonetheless

This is true, but I doubt it would become an epidemic. I seriously doubt it would become a habit. That's where coaching and practice come into play.

I'm banking on Winstons Lasik surgery to improve his reads and throws. He'll be hitting our Receivers just like shooting fish in a barrel.

Jameis has a much better offensive line in New Orleans than he did in Tampa Bay

I'm not actually questioning stability, I'm just putting a range on where we can end up. We can go in every week looking exactly the same and kick ass or lose with the same exact performance. I think the QBs will work out and hence I think we are going to be fine, which is what you are hinting at. There are just a lot of unknowns though. As a hypothetical, what if Winston throws another 30 INTs. Most of us here are going to say, nah he's not going to do that. He's done it before though and TB didn't exactly have a horrible roster. I think he's improved and been coached up. The only point I'm trying to make is that there is a wide range of possibilities on this season.

I have confidence in them....just not very much.

After this game today, we look good. Winston played well, made good decisions and took care of the ball. Defense was terrific.
