Of course you should then understand that Winston is largely responsible for those points against throwing TDs for the other team and giving the opposing team great starting position.

They were 1st against the run because they were so horrible against the pass (29th) that teams didn't attempt to run as much against them. 4th fewest rushing attempts against in the league.

I wonder if the league is shifting again in focus. We have had around a decade of pass first, throwing QBs. I mean there cannot have been many eras this full of talented QBs Brees, Brady, Rogers, Manning at the very elite. Now a younger generation has arrived the last few years, those that don't want to stay in the pocket, that can create as the field starts to break with Wilson and now Jackson, Watson and Maholmes. All work well with one elite receiver and players that can work after the catch and cheaper but more RBs to compliment.

Teams started drafting smaller at LB to cope with the pass, wonder if this will lead to teams looking to exploit that.

Just mumbling outloud

Comes full circle. Defenses will get smaller and faster so offenses will eventually get bigger with bruiser backs and big possession receivers that are hard to bring down. Plus running QBs will probably be around 5yrs or so average. My take anyway.
Then again I don’t know much about this.

It’s official now:

No financial details yet.

Re: Jameis Winston 1 yr deal

Not thrilled about this. I get it if your O-line is terrible, you're running for your life, and you're chucking ducks to the other team. That makes sense, and I can't be mad at you. JW coughs up a lot of his INT's while not under duress. Arians the supposed "QB whisperer" gave up on him after just one year. Yeah, I know Brady fell to them but still. He supposedly came to Tampa to work with JW.

A lot of you people that were talking smack about Teddy are going to be missing him dearly if Winston sees much playing time next year, or whatever year they play again.

Re: Jameis Winston 1 yr deal

I just keep telling myself he’s just a backup and it’s not like we are bringing him in to start. Who knows maybe he will get his act together but I am not holding my breath. He’s a better Qb than Teddy but I would still take Teddy as backup any day. We won games with Teddy because he didn’t turn the ball over and let the defense and special teams do their jobs.. Can’t say the same for Winston.

15th in total yards... put whatever other spin you want on it.

Re: Jameis Winston 1 yr deal

Severe aptitude issue. Also lazy. Would not be surprised if he gets beat out in camp and cut by a rookie. I actually expect this happening. He doesn't have that level of commitment. Relies on his physical attributes and calls it a day.

Re: Jameis Winston 1 yr deal

If Tom Brady just came in to my division I might pick up his new team's last QB for a year as well.
