Trevor Siemian

It’s no secret I believed in Winston. Maybe still do. I think it’s fair to point out that he never had a full camp/preseason with the starters. Last year was COVID and he was third string. This year was the storm that forced them to move and he still had to split starting reps with Hill. Add to this overall subpar talent/performance at skill positions (keep in mind this is the same group of receivers etc MINUS Sanders, Cook, and Thomas) plus subpar o-line play and I think Winston has been held back greatly from his potential. Just my feel on it.

I to wanted Jameis to be great and have success. The guy has been a winner on the field throughout his football career. We had a Heisman trophy winning, #1 overall NFL selected, 5000 yd club QB as our starting QB. And was paying him peanuts. His expectations were higher because of who he was.
But the guy that replaced him had to deal with those same conditions but as a backup with far less reps.

My thoughts exactly! And as a couple of other guys have posted, I think Siemian looks more relaxed and seems to go through his reads a bit more. At least it seems that way. I feel more confident when he's behind center. Not sure what the team feels.

Then again I'm just an intelligent, overachieving and down right handsome fan that watches from my couch. What the hell do I know?
