Jameis Winston is making the NFL great again (1 Viewer)

I'm not a Bucs fan but I am excited about how good Winston is going to be.  He's big, strong, accurate and always pays off his bets.  The NFL is lucky to have him.  :thumbup:

 
Tidbit"  Winston's uncle was interviewed while he was at FSU and said his name was going to be James Winston but an I was put on the birth certificate by mistake so they just went with it. Jameis it is..

 
Dude's solid top 5 at this point with potential to be the GOAT.  He's really turned his image around lately and appears to be a very grounded and down to earth kind of guy.  I think the only way he doesn't win a couple MVP awards during is career is if his good sense flies the coop and causes him to pull some sort of knucklehead move.

I am a much bigger fan of Mariota.  

And he doesn't steal crab legs.  Or yell at people a lot.  

Winston always seems like he's yelling at people and lookin' all "crazy-eyed" at 'em.

 
Dude is legit, that's for sure.  He's having a great year and will probably only go up.

Seems like a high character guy which when coupled with physical skills can equate to greatness.  HOF possible (even likely), IMO.

Probably about 7-1 he makes the HOF.

 
Winston has 23 touchdowns on the season with four games remaining, and with his fourth-quarter scoring strike to tight end Cameron Brate, he eclipsed his career-high of 22 he set as a rookie last year. He needs just five more this year to pass Josh Freeman’s 27 in 2012 for the most TD passes in a single season in Bucs history.

Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that Winston currently has 7,222 yards in his career, which are the seventh most passing yards by a player in his first two NFL seasons. Winston will undoubtedly pass Oakland’s Derek Carr (7,257 from 2014-15) and Miami Hall of Famer Dan Marino (7,294 from 1983-84) against New Orleans on Sunday, as well as Jacksonville’s Blake Bortles (7,336 from 2014-15) and move into fourth place.

Winston needs just 975 yards over the last month of the season to surpass Peyton Manning (7,874 from 1998-99), Carolina’s Cam Newton (7,920 from 2011-12) and Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck (8,196 from 2012-13). That’s an average of 244 yards per game, which would put him at 4,155 yards for the 2016 season, which would also eclipse Tampa Bay’s single season record of 4,065, which was set by Freeman in 2012.

He can win a lot of people some titles this year.
He has scored a TD in every game of his career. That is a fantastic floor in a world of sporadic QBs right now.

 
He the one who makes Evans look good - seriously Evans is blessed with hands of stone.  Winston is dropping them in so Evans can't miss.  

 
I've been in kind of a rut this year, personally and professionally. Seemed like nothing could go right. Then on Sept. 11 I watched Jameis throw for 281 yards and 4 TD's en route to an upset 31-24 victory over the Falcons. That night, I made love to my wife harder and more skillfully than ever before, and two days later I received a promotion and 30% raise. Since then, I haven't missed a game.

Jameis Winston is a role model and he is my personal inspiration, much as John the Baptist inspired Jesus. There is not a finer human being in the NFL, nay, in all of professional sports. And I'm man enough to admit right now that I love him. He is head & shoulders above Mariota and a lock first-ballot Hall of Famer.

God, thank you Jameis. Thank you. I'm sobbing right now.

It's a coin flip whether he's the greatest of his draft class.  (Yeah, I'm a Titans fan)

 
Never realized Capella had so many aliases.  Winston is doing very well, much better than I expected.   There was an article a few weeks ago that polled NFL GM's and asked if they could pick one QB to build a franchise around who would it be?  # 1 answer was Mariota.

 
Goat?  can get to the playoffs first?  how about win a playoff game?  I love me some jameis but that's just ridiculous. hope your joking

Nominating this for post of the year. My only wish is that it was posted a few weeks earlier so Jameis could have had this printed on his cleats this weekend 

 
I was't the biggest Winston fan and truthfully wasn't very happy when the Bucs drafted him.I admit that I was wrong about his talent guess my Gator bias towards FSU was showing.Anything or anyone that will make the Bucs watchable I am all for.I have been a Buc fan since their inception and it really hasn't been easy for the majority of those years.We really havn't had a decent QB since Willams so I am all in on Winston.

 
Wow, didn't realize how high so many people were on Jameis. Glad to see he has changed some people's opinions as I know plenty of people were very strongly against him when he was picked. Some Bucs fans even gave up on the team once he was drafted.

As a Bucs fan, I couldn't be any happier that he's on my team. The guy's leadership skills are off the charts and he is the main reason why this losing culture that has been stuck with this team for the past decade is finally going away.

I think some people are going too far calling him top 5 already and a GOAT/HOF candidate, but the sky is the limit for this kid. He's gonna make some throws that make you shake your head sometimes because he's a gunslinger and loves to take chances, but the dude can make plays and has pretty much every quality you would want in a franchise QB.

 
Cowboys Bucks game got flexed to Sunday night in two weeks, must be doing something right.

I can only partly-dispute 1 of those 4, but yes, he sure makes the NFL fun.

He sort of set a new NFL record.

Winston torched the Broncos defense for nearly 500 passing yards, but he also threw two pick-sixes, which was good enough to get him in the NFL record book. With 497 yards passing in the game, Winston broke Kyle Orton's record for most passing yards by a quarterback who also threw at least two pick sixes. Back in 2009, Orton threw for 431 yards, so Winston smashed his record. If you include the 171 interception return yards that Denver had, then Winston finished with 668 passing yards plus interception return yards combined, which is the most by any quarterback in a single game in NFL history.

How does anyone in decsion making in Cleveland show their face after the Deshaun farce. Fully believe they're in the playoff race if Jameis starts all season

Nice 8 yr thread bump
 
Great call back @fatness

Jameis makes the league better.
  • If you're a franchise that is a few years of rebuilding away from being a contender, bring in Jameis
  • If your QB is so bad you can't even evaluate the players around him (CAR in September), bring in Jameis
  • If you are not really a serious franchise but still like being profitable, need fan engagement, realize this is an entertainment business, bring in Jameis
Mans spent almost 5 years in the gulag system. That should never happen again, until his arm falls off. Somebody in the league should always be thinking "we need to bring in Jameis!"
 
No idea how this guy gets relegated to backup in a league starving for good QB play. One of the most fun guys to watch. He can sling it.

The turnovers are killers. It’s in his DNA. If you can somehow put a defense around him that can make up for some of those he can be somewhat successful, but you’ll never be a true contender.

You have to do what the Eagles did to Hurts, limit his throws.

Yup, and the stats bear that out. The Eagles have the lowest PROE (pass rate over expected) in the NFL. They throw less in throwing situations than anyone. I guess everyone yelling at Siriani to run the damn ball worked.

In Philadelphia, we pay our QB $50M to hand the ball to a $12.5M RB.
 
He's always been a gunslinger, fun to watch but he gifts as many INT to the opposing defense as he throws TD's. Sometimes more.

Be curious to see if Cleveland keeps him or if he gets a shot with another team in '26.
