QB Jameis Winston, NYG (2 Viewers)

[Hang 10]

Why was he in the pro bowl?

Because he had a really good season?

How many QB's had to turn down playing before they got to Jameis?

I have no clue.

But he wasn't really good. I won't argue that it was pretty good...for a rookie. But that's it. He wasn't a top 10 QB by any metric and the pro bowl is supposed to have the 6 best...or so I thought. He was the 4th best QB in his division.

 

[Grahamburn]

Short list of QB's I'd want over Jameis going forward.

Nah he was really good.

Top-6, of course not, but he wasn't picked in the top-6. I'm not sure why you think that is still a thing at this point. It's not the 1988 pro bowl.

I'm not looking to pick a fight, just curious.

Which QBs were top 10 in the league their rookie year through the history of the NFL? I'm asking because you used this as a measuring stick and I have no idea what the answer is.

 

[Hang 10]

Passing yards - 11th

YPA - 12th

TD Passes - 16th

INTS - 5th most

Rating - 28th

Completion percentage - 32nd

Again, why was he in the pro bowl?

 

[CalBear]

Passing yards - 11th

YPA - 12th

TD Passes - 16th

INTS - 5th most

Rating - 28th

Completion percentage - 32nd

Again, why was he in the pro bowl?

Subtract:

Newton (Super Bowl)

Rodgers (injury)

Palmer (injury)

Roethlisberger (injury)

Brady (injury)

So that's most of the good QBs in the league. The roster also included Teddy Bridgewater, Derek Carr, Eli Manning, and Tyrod Taylor.

They should have included Drew Brees, but he'd probably have begged off anyway. Cousins and Bortles may have deserved it over Winston, and also over some of those other guys. Other than that the QBs were all pretty bad. Stafford?

You just named 4 QB's that were more deserving than Winston. That's all I'm saying.

ETA: Also, how the #### did Bridgewater make the pro bowl as well? That's even more baffling than Winston.

Somebody found him worthy. He wasn't the 32nd selection. He went ahead of cousins and bortles at least.

So, which one of you guys is really that scumbag, Mitch Albom?

[Bronco Billy]

You know, as much as I'd like to enjoin, I just can't get spun up about who was or was not selected to the Pro Bowl as an alternative and what meaning that has on a player's value.

I would however sure like to see Hang 10 answer my question about which rookie QBs were top 10 at the position in the league that year.

 

[davearm]

Now a pro bowler

Didn't see that career change coming.

He'll never live up to Earl Anthony or Mark Roth.

He'll be averaging 132 by the end of the tour season

Out of the pro bowlers league in 2 years

 

[jabarony]

FSU must feel stupid shelling out $1,000,000 to cover up a rape by a lowly PBAer.

 

[Grahamburn]

Awesome. So the same nonsense surrounding Manziel that we had to endure we're going to have to do all over again with Winston.

Thanks a lot, Jameis.

Raping and stealing is a little more serious than selling some autographs though....

Named rookie of the year by the fans:

"It feels great to receive this honor from the fans," said Winston. "My goal coming into my rookie season was to come in and do whatever it took to help us win games and compete. As great as this individual accomplishment is, it is really a reflection of how well our entire offense did this season. The fans are what make our sport so great and getting this kind of recognition based on their votes is very special to me."

Behind Winston, the Buccaneers finished with the No. 5 offense in the NFL, the team's highest-ever finish. Last season, the team was ranked No. 30.

Hi haters

So he won the PFF ROY determined by the stat crunchers. He won the Pepsi ROY voted on by the fans. Yet, the "official" NFL ROY goes to Todd Gurley...

NFL catering to its fantasy base! Positional scarcity wins the day.

 

[Capella]

Somebody on Twitter said the 48th best rookie RB season ever beat the 3rd best rookie QB season ever. Neat.

I don't particularly think Gurley only had the 48th-best season but whatever. Point still stands.

 

[Bronco Billy]

Quick. Name the player who won the ROY 5 years ago.

It really doesn't matter much. The career is what matters.

The same guy who won this year's NFL MVP by a nearly unanimous vote and he's going to be the starting QB for Carolina in the Super Bowl later today.

 

[cstu]

Griffin, Newton, Ryan, Vince Young, and Roethlisberger are the QB's who have won it.

I pretty much agree. I'm #1 on his bandwagon and I don't really care. Would much rather see some damn wins.

I think the NFL gave Gurley ROY to help hype up the Rams move back to LA. They need something to sell tickets to the LA fans.

LOL so the NFL just moved a franchise to a market where they think they'll struggle to sell tickets, and need gimmicks like a ROY to generate hype?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that wasn't a factor here.

stay strong this offseason.

 

[cstu]

It took Winston 4 more games to get 3 TD's more than Mariota.

Mariota beats him across the board in everything except sacks and rushing TD's.

Wins?

Pts scored over previous year?

Offensive improvement by their team over the previous year?

A) rushing touchdowns count as much as passing ones do:More importantly

B) staying healthy and playing all the games is kinda you know, a big deal

Edit: it's also disingenuous and stupid to assume a player who played 4 less games would not have performed at a lesser rate in those games and then hold a player who played all 16 accountable for doing so.

Bucs OC Monken: 'Dead wrong' about Jameis Winston

 

[Bronco Billy]

Erica's story

Which story is she telling now?  It keeps changing as evidence comes forth that contradicts the previous version. 

I'm not saying something didn't happen, but this girl has created some huge credibility problems for herself, as much as Winston detractors just love to hang their hats on this story. 

 

[Don't Noonan]

Erica's story

Just watched this and although I believe Winston is a lying scumbag I can't get over the FSU police shoving it under the rug.  Win at all costs mentality out at FSU.  Disgraceful.  Not too surprising though when FSU fans on this board have stated here before that as long as FSU can cheat and get away with it they are all for it.

I curious what you think the police should have done. She went to them with a story and when the police tried to corroborate it, evidence showed she instead was lying. So she changed her story, the police investigated and again found evidence that contradicted her. So her story changed again. 

Again, I have no knowledge of what did or did not happen between she and Winston. There could have been a rape - I don't know. But when the complainant keeps changing her version of events as ongoing investigation shows that what she has said previously is false, I don't see how you would expect them to arrest Winston and then have him prosecuted. Is that what you would have preferred given the circumstances?
