QB Jameis Winston, NYG (1 Viewer)

With due respect, no, I didn't. I also said Foles would get Cousins-esque money because he was the best available and Cousins has set a new market. Cousins did, it's just that Jameis won't set a new market.  
As someone who's not worth respecting I take quite a bit of insult.

Does Dak reset the market this offseason?  There's no one else I can remember off the top of my head who needs a new contact who's going to get paid. 

A question better asked in another thread - is this year the year we finally see a qb tie their salary to the cap, considering it's bound to get a big raise with the new cba coming up?

 
Arians offense does not call for a Trent Dilfer game manager.  Plenty of QBs who threw lots of picks won SuperBowls in their careers. Peyton, Big Ben, etc. Regardless, he’s a starter in the NFL and will get paid based on how he’s finishing this year.  Like it or not.

You know, I went through the numbers... Peyton threw a lot more picks then I thought. His first four years - at least stats wise - look a lot like Jamis.  Problem with that comp is the difference in era.

You're right though, someone is going to sign Jamis as their starter.  It'll probably be Tampa.  And it's pretty clear I don't like it.

So who would you bring in if you don’t sign him? Cam? Eli? Joe is gone first pick in the draft. Ain’t gettin him. Hurts? What’s the alternative? I’m sure Josh Rosen is available. Maybe Trubisky. 
Exactly. People live in a dream world to expect a better option just to pop up. 

 
Eh, he's going to get franchised.

I'd prefer to see them go after Cam if he were proven to look back to his old self after surgery, and he can throw a ball more than 20 yards again.
Good lord. Absolutely not. If his wheels are gone it’s over for him.

There's four non-burrows rookies I like better in the draft, and a Bridgewater 2021 rookie combo also works.
Ok well it’s not going to happen. You don’t toss qbs putting these numbers aside in the hope it might get marginally better 3 years from now. That’s ridiculous.

The Bucs aren't a good draft away from the super bowl. They need those three years.

 
Where do these last 2 games put Winston in a fantasy playoff historical sense?   I don’t remember a pair of better QB games to kick off FF playoffs.

Nobody's ever thrown for more than 450 yards in back to back games, let alone playoffs. In my league (6 point TD league, -2 for interceptions) he's got me 47 and 45 points the past two weeks.  Huge.

 
Anyone remember Billy Volek in 2004?

Week 14: 426 yards, 4 TDs
Week 15: 492 yards, 4 TDs

Of course, if you do remember those two weeks, then you probably also remember that he only threw for 111 yards (with 2 INTs) in Week 16.

 
Now my question is do I start him in my Super Bowl?!

Houston vs Tampa Bay

AND I have BOTH Watson and Winston.......hmmmmm......

No Evans. Probably no Godwin. No Scotty Miller. Line is in shambles. 
 

I’d start the Hell out of him.  He’s making Breshad Perriman relevant.  BRESHAD PERRIMAN! 

 
If you truly think this you just flat out don’t like Winston the person. 
Wrong, but thanks. He's a great leader. There's plenty to dislike about his past, but that's for other to decide. I'm not even discussing that here. He's too careless with the football. End of story. He's averaging a pick a game for his career. He's averaging 10 fumbles a season for his career. That's 26 INTs/fumbles per season. That's not acceptable at all. And spare me the it'll improve stuff. He's 5 full years in. He is who he is. Mechanics can change, even work ethic can change. Know what can't change? Mentality and a guy's natural instincts. Jameis just doesn't have them when it comes to ball security.

The franchise is 7-7 and somewhat good for the first time in years. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2007. You don’t kick the can down the road another 3 years. Try selling that to an owner trying to sell tickets. What you’re saying just isn’t realistic in the real world.

Mariota, Dak, and Winston, Dalton, Bridgewater, Tannehill, and somebody of note I'm forgetting all go into the pool, but those none of those guys should reset the market and it seems likely that the pitch will be exactly what you said about trying -- note that they'll try -- to tie the salary to the salary cap. I think Cousins is now the market and you negotiate around that guarantee.

IMO, if Arians can't fix him, I don't know who can.

I think we'll find out whether Arians thinks he can. So far, publicly and with no reason to do so, Arians has really backed the guy in some seemingly indefensible situations. I said upthread this may be a case of Arians's ego thinking he can fix anything (I don't know of any source indicating this is the case) or Arians really believes in the guy. Either way, Tampa has been an exciting team to watch under Koetter and then Arians/Leftwich the past two years. 

Nice talent.

One of the few teams that an All-22 would be cool for.

I don't know why Cam would be your guy then?  He hasn't been that much better in the turnover department (108 INTs and 55 fumbles in 124 games).  He also isn't even in the same universe with Winston as a passer.  Especially now, and if he can't run we've seen how worthless he is.

 
I’ve lived and died with every snap from him this year. I do think he’s showing improvement. He threw balls away yesterday or took sacks of needed. He’s worse with picks with Evans in there because he feels compelled to get him the ball, even in jump ball situations. Evans didn’t help him in those. 

He’s good at 1:1 coverage reads and man can he make every throw with accuracy. Unlike Josh Allen wildly missing 12 yard down and outs. Winston doesn’t do that. Where he struggles is zone coverage and short throws over the middle.  Completes plenty of them, but will miss linebackers baiting him from the weak side. Needs to clean that up. Arians thinks he’ll clean that up in year 2 of his offense. 

 
I don't think he is a guy to build around, but agree there isn't a lot of options out there.  They could certainly do worse, but if I were them I'd be buying on a QB in pretty much every draft in the mid rounds.  Comparing Winston to Payton in their first few years is a bit disingenuous imo.  Maybe you compare him to a guy like Stafford, but I personally don't think the guy is going to stop throwing boatloads of interceptions, it's just who he is.  Bridge deal is the way to go for them, maybe a 5 year contract with some easy ways to get out after year 2.  If Winston isn't willing to take that kind of deal then I think it would be foolish for Tampa to overpay.  There may not be great options out there, but there are other ones.

Houston vs Tampa Bay

Easy call.  Winston doesn’t have anyone left to throw to.   Watson does - and he can run if needed.  Tampa’s pass defense is abysmal.

 
If I make it out of this week I just need 1 more good week from him.  Without Evans he put up great numbers but I am worried that Godwin will be out because the injury looked bad.

Alex Keaton is right that Watson over him is an easy call but he might be my best option if i make the finals because the only other QB that I could probably start is Trubisky against the Chiefs.

I look at this as I'm starting Winston/Arians.  The volume will be there.   Expect a fire fight between TB and Houston. 

 
 perriman looks just fine...jamies is gonna chuck it no matter what
I own Winston and would probably take Watson. Can’t run on the Bucs so Watson should burn them with Hopkins and Fuller. Jameis will chuck it but it will be harder without premium weapons. Still possible with Perriman, Watson, Howard and Brate but will have to be efficient.  Both teams should throw a ton

I do, he won me my fantasy playoffs

How do these four rookies stack up against Mike Glennon & Josh Freeman?
Much higher upside

The franchise is 7-7 and somewhat good for the first time in years. They haven’t made the playoffs since 2007. You don’t kick the can down the road another 3 years. Try selling that to an owner trying to sell tickets. What you’re saying just isn’t realistic in the real world. 
What sells more tickets than "first round rookie qb!" to a team that still isn't making the playoffs

Also can I note how Wilson admits to groping an Uber driver and that hasnt come up once?  Because it really should.

Sounds like if he threw less picks you would overlook the Uber incident.  First you’ve brought it up. Out of on the field or market arguments?

Whoa that came out of left field. Running out of argument already huh. Nobody is comparing the guy to Jesus.

Just saw a Kaepernick thread is all.  Personally I'm a play ball kind of guy, just making a casual observance as to what is and is not okay when it comes to non-football conduct.

Jameis is not an ok person imo, but I am strictly talking his ball play. Kap should 100% be on a team imo. 

 
my comments copied from the other Winston thread

Houston is really bad vs the pass. 30 TDs vs 8 picks.  Like Arizona, Oakland and Detroit bad.  Can't cover anybody, can't get to the QB.  Equal opportunity, can get burned by WRs and TEs.  I think Howard and Brate have big days.  But have to temper expectations.  It's far more likely to be a 275 and 2 TD day than his last two.  Still rolling with him.  He's earned it. Against a better defense probably not.

What's your take on the argument that it's his first year in Arians system and QBs like Palmer and Manning both had high turnovers in this system in the beginning.

I probably am starting him but I am looking at a few other options as well. It is either him or I could pick up Dalton @ Miami,  Mustachio @ ATL or Trubisky Vs KC.  So far i like Winston the best but that could change later this week.

First look at the fact that in both cases, said QBs (1, a rookie) were with their first year in a new organization. On top of learning the new system, there were also new locker room dynamics/culture being formed and new receivers to gel with. I would argue the performance would be sub-par regardless.

With Peyton, he is one of the greatest ever who was a legendary film room savant. I'm 100% sure he would have found his way regardless of coaching.

Carson was always an up and down QB, even before Bruce. He had great years (05/06) and then other very average years. I don't think this changed much with Bruce, though this is tougher to judge due to the injuries, but his last season (7 games) wasn't looking particularly impressive, though age could also have been a factor at that point.

We'll see with Jameis. I don't have high hopes because the gunslinging goes back to college. Nobody has ever really reined that in, because you can't rein in a gunslinger. It's just pure instinct, it's in their DNA. But we'll see.

It’s him or Brees. I know that sounds like a “no-brainer” for Brees but he’s on the road at Tennessee. Seems the Saints struggle on the road...

In addition I’m going against the Watson owner. Probably shouldn’t let that influence me but....

TB fans input needed. 

How do you think Winston will do throwing to Perriman? I haven't watch any TB games. Will Perriman be his default #1WR? 

 
Jameis Winston (thumb) was throwing tennis balls at Wednesday's practice.

It's the same routine he followed last week before lighting the Lions on fire for 458 yards and four touchdowns. Winston is going to play against the Texans Saturday and will be a top-six QB1 for that matchup, even with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Scotty Miller all out with hamstring injuries.
