Re: Jameis Winston has a knee injury but practices fully
He didn't have to think in Tampa he was just told to sling it. That doesn't take much thought.

Re: Jameis Winston has a knee injury but practices fully
Winston is not a "cerebral QB." He's got skill. And he's athletic. I don't want to call him dumb. He's just not the QB that is gonna make the reads like Brees. He probably relies more on instinct. He's obviously not as serious. Brees was all business. Like a coach on the field.

I just think Winston is missing something that is required to be at the top of the NFL hierarchy.

Re: Jameis Winston has a knee injury but practices fully
We certainly were spoilt with Brees. He was able to diagnose pre-snap and if coverage changed, he'd go through 4 reads in about 2 seconds. That's a special ability.
I don't think Taysom or Jameis read the game well enough to be a long term starter. If Kamara and the run game get shut down, neither Taysom or Jameis are going to win the game I don't think. I think we need to draft a QB after this season. |

Re: Jameis Winston has a knee injury but practices fully
We're 2-1 with a bunch of key players out.
Let's take care of the G-Men tomorrow and sink RiverBoat Ron next week and if all goes well we should be 4-1. Jameis will be alright after all there is no one who can fill Drew's shoes. |
