If you say he's improved in all these areas this year I'll take your word for it, but if he hasn't...well, even a bad defense has got to be licking its chops right now.

I sure do miss you, daddy! I hope all is well.

Pretty much the same this year except he’s got a little fumblitis.

It has to be a smokescreen. Payton cannot possibly believe that Taysom is the more capable QB.

I'm surprised but it also makes sense. You paid the man $16MM for this moment. Put him out there and see what he can do.

I hope it's just a smokescreen. But if not, it makes me think Jameis may be looking like

in practice.

I'm thinking SP is screwing with Raheem's head, whoever starts at QB will probably not make a difference.
Knowing SP he will pull out the "Fungo" play menu and wing it. Gotta remember we are playing the Dirty Birds and the ever melting Matty Ice..
