Jameis Watch: “Embarassed”
March 26th, 2015
Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion Jameis Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon.
It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback ever to wear No. 5 in the state of Florida.
Yes, it’s true. Mike Glennon ran a faster 40-yard-dash time than Jameis Winston and Josh Freeman did at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Joe was stunned when Winston plodded through his 40 in February — 4.97 seconds. Heck, Joe ran a faster time in college, and Joe saw Winston run the bases on the Florida State University baseball team. He didn’t look that slow.
Lovie Smith talked to Joe and media yesterday about Winston’s body and fitness. The head coach said Winston is immature in that area and will develop.
“You know, that’s one part that you say, ‘What can improve?'” Lovie said. “Us getting him on the, you know, proper nutrition, all of that. Lifting in the weight room. When I say he’s an immature athlete right now, he hasn’t had a chance to really develop his body. You say, ‘Hey Jameis, what are you least proud of that’s come out [in the media]?’ He’ll say, ‘The 40-yard dash, I was embarrassed about [my] time.'”
Yes, Winston will be 21 years old on opening day. He’s developing and likely has much learn about professional fitness.
Joe is not concerned. First, the Bucs would have the team nutritionist and strength and conditioning coaching all over him from Day 1. Second, Winston isn’t exactly Refrigerator Perry. He is a great athlete and a great quarterback. The fact he’s not at his peak physically is actually encouraging.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:13 pm
Well he is Embarassing ……FSU didn’t want him back
March 26th, 2015 at 2:14 pm
His weight will be kept in check. No worries.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:19 pm
Weight issues are conditioning issues. You have conditioning issues when you’re about to go pro says a lot about self control. Winston lovers are about to say different, but that’s a fact.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:19 pm
Joe is as good a spinner as Obamas press secretary
March 26th, 2015 at 2:21 pm
Training for football year round will help also. Welcome to Tampa Jameis. Lovie needs you
March 26th, 2015 at 2:23 pm
That’s a wise direction to take, work that flab right off him. We don’t need a QB who looks like a big fluffy biscuit.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:27 pm
Egad ! The Number 1 pick is Infamous Jameis. We are getting a guy who is slow with off the field issues, threw a lot of interceptions in a weak conference, and can’t keep his weight down. Add twenty million dollars and stir. What could go wrong ? Depressing.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:28 pm
for several years they said bowers would get the conditioning thing down.
either you have they motivation to do it in your gut…..
or theirs the cheeseburger gut, mr. fameis.
no athlete at that age and at that level of competition has any excuse for not deing in perfect condition short of an injury or laziness/stupidity. and you can’t fix stupid.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:31 pm
I am a big time Winston supporter and I cant wait to see Jameis throwing to Evans and Jackson. That could really be a dangerous combination for opposing defenses. Having said that the weight does concern me. Jameis seemed much slower and thicker last year than the year before and that trend will need to stop.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:34 pm
And Glennon sucks.
Thee end.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:35 pm
He should also be embarrassed about getting his arse beat by MM in the playoff game. Because we all know that winning or losing a game is the best way to determine the better QB. #MMisbetterthanWinston
March 26th, 2015 at 2:36 pm
Id be concerned as he gets into his late twenties/early thirties, but not for now.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:38 pm
No worries he’ll lose at least twenty pounds practicing in this FL sun during OTA. This is if doesn’t pass out first. Stop practicing in the 110 degree sun lovie.
Did some hijack 87 screen name today?

it’s still better than having a stick figure standing in the pocket, he disappears when he turns sideways and still gets sacked
March 26th, 2015 at 2:40 pm
I was shocked the 1st I was in the locker room at half time at a FSU game in ’92 and the guys were eating (given out) candy bars and sodas (some sports drinks). Dan Kendra and I spoke to Coach Sexton and we got the athletic department to hire a nutritionist to educate and provide options to the players. I lot of young athletes were never brought up knowing enough about proper nutrition, less so now than it was back then but you would be surprised.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:43 pm
I am down about 25 pounds since December using the My Fitness Pal application on my iphone. Jameis can do this if I can. We need the BB-Gun Hollerin’ QB.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:44 pm
You Jameis lovers are hilarious….OK if this was a marrage and your girl
Had a history of repeatedly explaining her behavior to the police
Made lude and insenstitive comments openly in a public setting
Could not keep herself phyically fit ..when her future depended on being phyiscally fit
Needed to be kept under lock and key for the 5 month leading up to the wedding ,just so none of the above behaviors might jump out again.
Would you marry he…….Bwahahahahahahaa
March 26th, 2015 at 2:44 pm
Lovie says: “us getting him on, you know, the proper nutrition”. Sounds like a bit of a slip in the both QBs are being considered mantra. Welcome to Tampa, Jameis!
March 26th, 2015 at 2:44 pm
WS99…there’s only 1 Buc1987.
Why on earth someone would want to be me I have no idea. Silly notion.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:46 pm
Winston’s 40 time means nothing. watch the tape. He is an effective situational runner. He moves really well in and around the pocket with the hard to come by natural instincts to sense the pressure and move to a cleaner area while always keeping his eyes downfield for a receiver to break open.
Winston may not have Mariota’s pure running ability – few QBs do. But he’s got something much better – great feel for the game, anticipation and most importantly accuracy with a big arm and great touch on his throws to boot.
Jameis is a waaaaaaaay more effective runner when need be than Glennon.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:46 pm
You know what will help the o-line? The qb getting rid of the ball quickly to avoid sacks and this will also help the running game and play action. The qb being patient throwing screen passes, slants, and passes to the backs for short gains. It will keep the defense honest and allow the running game to be effective. Then you can start to throw deep to the trees on the outside and over the middle. Be patient and have long drives down field like 7 or 8 minute drives.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:47 pm
JoeJoes Fungi Nails…have we not gone over and over and over this ad nauseam?
EVERYONE on this site KNOWS about Winston’s past….that’s EVERYONE.
Just keep repeating yourself daily. Maybe it will make you feel better when you hear his name called out on April 30th, but probably not.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:50 pm
also having an OC with a clue in how to call plays in the NFL will help the Oline. By keeping the D off balance helps the whole offense.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:50 pm
Some picture have apparently come up,showing an enlarged Winston. So what.
The kid is taking time off and is enjoying life while on vacation which is what most people do.
Relax.
People who hate will always hate and twist things to fit into their own narrow little prejudiced perspectives no matter the facts or situation.
Reality is a TV show to them.
Sadly, a huge majority of them have nothing better to do than become trolls on blogs.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:51 pm
Yeah…then why does Joe feel the need to keep posting ad nauseam stories about Jameis
Just because “we know” the stories does not mean they should simply be ignored and discounted ….which many do
March 26th, 2015 at 2:53 pm
JoeJoesFungiNails please STFU! Jameis will be a buc end of story
March 26th, 2015 at 2:54 pm
Special teams will be a big help to Jameis and the team this season. Deep punts that must make the opponent drive the length of the field to score. Good kr/pr to put the Bucs in good field position or red zone. Excellent and dependable field goal kicking with good high kickoffs that allow the Buc players to get down the field quickly before the opposing returner can do anything.
March 26th, 2015 at 2:55 pm
He’s not committed to being fit….another red flag…spin it any way you want….this is an important time in his life and he’s not committed….what happens when the money comes and then a frustrating rookie season…might just say f-it, more cheeseburgers…sorry, but the Jamarcus nighmare could happen again
March 26th, 2015 at 2:56 pm
Yeah because we all become more athletic as we age..what a joke
March 26th, 2015 at 2:57 pm
The behavior you described Fungi, sadly represents about 40 percent of the women today.
I was at a college campus center having dinner with my daughter a couple years and I had to ask the three girls next to us to tone the language down because they were embarrassing me.
Get a grip, old timer.
We’re drafting a football player, not a choir boy.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
It will work in the Bucs favor and help Jamies developement if the opposing offense can have at the most 2 long drives(8 or more minutes) that result in field goals. While the Bucs need to have 3 long drives that result in touchdowns giving the defense time to rest and allowing the Bucs to play with the lead. Bucs win at least 10 games if they can average 24 to 27 points a game, TELL ME THAT YOU CAN’T SEE THAT.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:03 pm
If Josh Freeman can lose weight and shape himself up, there’s no reason that Jameis can’t or won’t.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:03 pm
Smell that? It’s desperation by the anti-Winston crowd.
See that? It’s the writing on the wall.
Get on the bus, or be a Phins fan. Winston to Evans TD!!!

Most all of this hatred will fade as soon as he passed for 300 yards in a game.

lol JB
maybe we can get freeman to introduce winston to the “white lady”, cause thats where the weight went
March 26th, 2015 at 3:11 pm
I have no hate on for Winston…If he’s the guy, I will be hoping for all the best for him and my Bucs…Picking him just scares the hell out of me…Possibility for another Buccaneer draft disaster is greater with him than MM or a L.Williams….
March 26th, 2015 at 3:12 pm
87, I don’t understand that logic…
Mariota beat Winston head-to-head, which obviously means that Mariota is a better QB than Winston (using standard Winstonite logic); which means that MM should/will be our draft pick.
Do u really think Lovie will pick Winston when Dungy is advising him to pick MM?!? I don’t see it happening.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:14 pm
Fungi nail you sound stupid. What in the hell was there left for him to do or prove at FSU. And please don’t say get a degree,I’m sure with that got are unconcerned.

Wishful thinking.
“Oh, that was against a soft defenses”
“If we would’ve kept Glennon he could’ve done that”
“He’s still not skinny enough”
I’m just preparing the list of excuses that they’ll use.

Name one great quarterback that Tony Dungy acquired through the draft or free agency.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:21 pm
Maybe Shaun King can mentor him!!!
“Shaun King, one of two Buc Quarterbacks that lost a NFC Championship Game when his defense gave up 11 or fewer points.”
March 26th, 2015 at 3:27 pm
Dungy got fired by the Bucs, because his quarterback’s sucked!
March 26th, 2015 at 3:32 pm
Winston’s coming at you like a freight train right now, and there’s not a damn thing any of you can do about.
Hold out if you must…
Maybe I should just start sympathizing with the ones that haven’t figured it out yet. Maybe I should feel sorry for them.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:35 pm
Calling Glennon skinny is an exaggeration. He has good height for a pocket QB. Reports I’ve heard or read says he has added weight. Some think Winston will start on day one, others see him as a backup originally. A good portion here agree to keep MG as a backup. That’s good enough for me.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:42 pm
Lol I cant do anything but laugh at the depths the Haters are going to. Talk about anything other than his actual skills. Cuz we all know a great QB is dependent on having a body builder physique and running really fast. LMAO
Welcome to Tampa, Jameis!
March 26th, 2015 at 3:45 pm
To me, Winston is a slouch compared to Mariota. Not even close in terms of potential or athletic ability, IMO. Mariota has way more potential for success and Winston has way more potential to bust.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:47 pm
Buc1987… Wow you are going into meltdown mode with the pick somebody else mob. I can hear you muttering under your breath words that cannot be put in print. They probably have a medication for that, yeah that’s right they do, it’s called draft day.

Again, name one great quarterback that Tony Dungy acquired through the draft or free agency.
No offense, but, you aren’t a paid pro. Neither am I. We are laymen. The vast majority of people who are paid for their opinions on this matter disagree with you on this topic.
Since you used Dungy as a reference (repeatedly), I’d like to hear what pro QBs he has been right about.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:52 pm
I love coming to this site and reading all the ridiculous vitriol spit out by Gator fans. It makes me so happy knowing that you are all so miserable. Please, take the next spread option bust QB *cough* Tim Tebow *cough*. I would be ecstatic to welcome Jameis to the Titan family.
March 26th, 2015 at 3:58 pm
Obviously you can’t play this game if your fat.
http://sports-kings.com/downanddistance/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/sapp.jpg
March 26th, 2015 at 4:01 pm
Spread option QB’s are usually busts in the NFL. So I say Mariota will be the bust. I said it 3 months ago and haven’t repeated it since. So I’ll throw it back out there.
Mariota will be the bust of the 2. Remember where you heard it FIRST!
March 26th, 2015 at 4:11 pm
Jameis is fat? Well, we all know that losing weight help Freeman…right?
March 26th, 2015 at 4:12 pm
Jameis has man boobs….
March 26th, 2015 at 4:18 pm
I have been leaning Winston since I came out of the Trade Down crowd but this is one more point for Mariota
…………….
According to ESPN Stats & Information, the current league-wide trend is to use the shotgun or pistol formation much more frequently than in the past. In 2014, 60 percent of the league’s snaps came out of either the shotgun or pistol formation.
There has been a steady rise since ESPN Stats & Information started charting this category in 2006. In that season, only 19 percent of the snaps came out of the shotgun or pistol formation. But there has been a steady rise in each year since then and the 50-percent barrier was first broken in 2013.
…………………………..
A rise from 19 percent to 60 percent is not an anomaly, it is a Trend.
March 26th, 2015 at 4:18 pm
I just saw Tony Dungy’s “Dad” commerical speaking about boys behavior and disallowing his daughters association with such……Jameis does not stand a chance with Tony and Lovie…..Jameis will not be the Bucs pick….
March 26th, 2015 at 4:19 pm
Do u really think Lovie will pick Winston when Dungy is advising him to pick MM?!? I don’t see it happening.
I agree that Lovie has no brain and needs someone to make decisions for him that being said do you really think Lovie is going to let Dungy of all people pick his QB. Really that is the stupidest thing I’ve read. Dungy like Lovie is a good guy but would not recognize a good offensive player if he fell in their lap. Dungy and Lovie picking a QB is equivalent to allowing Charles Manson to pick the Citizen of the Year award winner. Neither of them know anything about the topics they are selecting winners for.
March 26th, 2015 at 4:19 pm
A head to head game in COLLEGE has nothing to do with the draft decision that is to be made. Lovie has already stated he is leaning toward Winston at this point in time, but evaluations are not complete. Get used to it MM lovers. Personally I don’t care. I just know we need to get a franchise QB and that there are no guarantees that either one can make it, so throw one of them up against the wall and see if he sticks, or busts.
March 26th, 2015 at 4:21 pm
Well Freeman got into great shape and that worked out great for him! SMH
March 26th, 2015 at 4:24 pm
“I just know we need to get a franchise QB and that there are no guarantees that either one can make it, so throw one of them up against the wall and see if he sticks, or busts.”

I am curious what would be concerning to you? Weapon charge? At what point do you admit, you are in denial?
This guy has BUST written all over him….I cannot wait until they pick MM and the SPIN ZONE will be spinning in orbit… lmao.

March 26th, 2015 at 4:37 pm
^^^
there will be a whole lot of Jameis posters changing names when the Bucs take MM…..
March 26th, 2015 at 4:42 pm
Isn’t Lovie the guy who said a QB should be able to run?
Joe,
Go back and read what you wrote in your piece:
Lovie Wants 49ers, Seahawks Model
January 14th, 2014
“…
Of course, that begs the question of how exactly Mike Glennon fits in to the models Lovie is referring to — ones led by Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson and Cam Newton.
”
Mike Glennon doesn’t neither does Winston.
Mariota?
And when your done thinking about that, read what you wrote at the end of:
Reading Between QB Tea Leaves
January 13th, 2014
“…
Look, unless the Bucs plan to blow up the team and stink out loud to set themselves up for the 2015 draft, Jameis Winston isn’t walking through the front gate of One Buc Palace
“
March 26th, 2015 at 4:44 pm
Reporting for duty….IN SHAPE!!! I can run a sub 4.5 40 all day long…unlike my counter part.
JW is a big fat ass…All u FSU fans can stick it……..he has more negatives than positives. Second civil issue right around the corner….YOU heard it hear second…
I can change my name 1000 times…it makes no difference….the message is the same….JW is a bust….MM is the one that has more promise and is in shape, mature, and has the QB tools needed to be a success in the NFL.
March 26th, 2015 at 4:47 pm

March 26th, 2015 at 4:50 pm
Same posters – same material – why bother?
March 26th, 2015 at 4:53 pm
So what are saying, Joe? That Winston is out of shape? That Winston ran faster in college but now he is slower? Not a good thing I guess. If I were to bet money? I’d say it is a non-issue. Not only will Winston be put under a microscope for being a No. 1 Overall pick, but also put under a microscope by the Bucs for being their starting QB. He’ll put in the work.
Not to say it isn’t a concern that Winston let himself get that way though. Plenty of good players in the NFL ate their way, or coach potato’d their way out of the NFL.
But I don’t think Jameis will do that. This is your job now, you are getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to play a game kids play in their backyard. The least you can do is hit the gym and get on a good diet during the offseason.
Not a problem. Or at least it shouldn’t.
March 26th, 2015 at 4:58 pm
I wouldn’t call Big Ben sleek and he has two rings. They went 11-5 last year.
March 26th, 2015 at 5:00 pm
Crazy, I’ve never seen anyone question Jameis drive and dedication and work ethic except for people who don’t know him. I agree, he looks a little pudgy, but I don’t think its anything too worrisome, or anything that cant be fixed. Think it’s probably more of a diet thing than a work ethic issue. I tried but could not find one person who has ever met Winston that says he is any kind of lazy. In fact, everyone says the exact opposite.
March 26th, 2015 at 5:00 pm
Or luck for that matter.
March 26th, 2015 at 5:08 pm
WS99 and Eric
Besides that being his golf shirt coming untucked and not really a gut, do you really think our o-line would have given a “Big Ben type QB an 11-5 record?

Weight issues are conditioning issues. You have conditioning issues when you’re about to go pro says a lot about self control. Winston lovers are about to say different, but that’s a fact.
The above makes no sense.
March 26th, 2015 at 5:25 pm
I don’t hear anyone questioning Big Ben’s weight!
March 26th, 2015 at 5:34 pm
Answer: Ben Rothlisberger.
Next question please.
For the life of me, I don’t understand why people still think a spread formation is the same as a shotgun formation.
What’s the point of trying anymore if you can’t understand this simple concept.
I give up. If you want Mariota so bad, you might as well get used to rooting for another team.
Raymond Jameis Stadium
If he drafts Mariota and he doesn’t work, he’s digging his own grave as well. So, if you’re digging your grave regardless of who you pick, why not pick the better talent?

“I think you meant, “Marry her.” If your intent was to say, “He,” there is nothing wrong with that. However, you are criticizing Jameis Winston while using a misogynistic paradigm. Now that I think about it, “He” is probably a Freudian slip.”

Yes but only half as good as Ted Cruz eh. What is it about you Fox geezers that can’t let it go.
It’s freaking sports blog leave the politics out of it. I could recommend a good political blog for you but it’s clear you are not informed enough nor do you possess enough critical thinking skills to fit in.
LEAVE THE FREAKING POLITICS OUT OF IT!!!

Some thoughts about Fameis conditioning.
First give the kid a break. He was raised in a Southern state with a culture (white and black) of some of the worst dietary habits in the entire nation!!!
Mississippi has the worst health markers in the nation and Alabama is not far behind.
When I worked in Tennessee a native took me to his house for a Sunday dinner.
EVERYTHING…vegetables included was fried. Three different kinds of meat and two dessert choices pie and cake. A friend of mine joked with me that in the south people used to joke you looked poorly if you didn’t have that ruddy complexion. Yeah no high blood pressure!!! LOL
Fameis has probably been spending some off time in Sweet Home Alabammy.
I cannot believe however that FSU doesn’t have world class nutrionists and a healthy training table. And so Noles how did he look during the season. That’s what counts.
I’ve been late to boarding the Fameis bandwagon. But through all the days of doubt I’ve never doubted his work ethic.
This was one of the reasons I was for signing Fameis as early as possible and getting him to OBP to work with our trainers and nutrionists.
Training like a pro will be different than training like a semi pro in college.
Sean King didn’t balloon until after his playing career.
March 26th, 2015 at 7:00 pm
Joe may not be concerned but Seminole Bill sure is. We blow this pick and we are deader than the proverbial doornail. Think about it; do the unthinkable and trade down, or trade away the pick and get quality 2-3 players. You have at least a 50/50 chance of being right. We pick wrong and we’re back to Bo Jackson days. Remember him? The RB who would not play for the Bucs, and went to baseball instead, and then when time had lapsed went to football and the Raiders.
March 26th, 2015 at 7:01 pm
Word of advice…don’t mention Obama…people get so sensitive about that fool.
March 26th, 2015 at 7:03 pm
Seminole Bill…no Bill we pick wrong and we get another high draft pick down the road and get a new toy.
The NFL has changed since the days of Bo Jackson and rookie contracts are not nearly as bloated as they were in the past.
This won’t set our team back is he fails as much as some people think it will.

Let it go you’re not smart enough to debate politics. All you can do is call people names including OUR commander in chief and man the MAJORITY of this nation voted for in RECORD numbers.
Go ahead and insult the MAJORITY of your fellow Americans. Real class 87!!!

@st pete
I disagree with 87 also but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. He’s just a little misinformed and probably watch a little too much Fox News that’s all. I think he’s an overall good guy
March 26th, 2015 at 7:33 pm
Id go out and have a beer with 87 anytime. I just think that he has been battling for Winston on so many different fronts that he has become somewhat …..hmmmm……defensive to the point of irrationality at times? Anyways we are probably picking Winston but if we dont I think he will recover if it were Mariota. Not sure he would recover without a QB.
March 26th, 2015 at 7:34 pm
So IF the Buc’s draft Winston do we call him “cement shoes” seeing as how Glennon can beat him in a foot race?
March 26th, 2015 at 7:34 pm

March 26th, 2015 at 7:38 pm
I am an FSU grad and supporter of Winston being the #1 pick by the Bucs. However, of all the things that could potentially bother me about him, his failure to use this time to get in the best shape of his life is my biggest concern. He is interviewing for his dream job that will set him financially for the rest of his life. He must have advisors and agents telling him to work his ass off and to eat right.
I criticized Mariota for now showing an outward desire to be a Buc. I must admit that Jameis’ poor shape is comparable. It shocks me that he seemed surprised by his 40 time. Not that the time matters necessarily, but the fact that it seemed shocking to me means he likely did not train at all for it. Just questionable judgement.
March 26th, 2015 at 7:42 pm
Kingsu
I saw something on the game changers promo that made go hmmm. I’m sure it’s nothing but have you noticed that prior to the owners meeting the commercial started with Jameis hold up the number 1 (w his finger) as if to say he is number 1. Then as of last night they changed it to a voiceover and him sitting down on a chair.
I was like somebody said change that chit he’s not going number 1. Idk paranoia is sitting in.

I accept your point. As a journalism major and somebody who worked in TV newsrooms for a couple of decades it saddens me how Faux news has poisoned our political discourse. It’s been horrible for our nation.
BTW Three separate University studies have shown Fox news viewers to be the least informed of the viewers of any news programs. I try to remain impartial and so I’ll add that MSNBC wasn’t much higher. Although one study was particularly damning. When they test folks on world events and geography people who watched NO news at all scored higher than Fox news viewers.
I think I’m sensitive about mixing news or politics tonight because of that horrible murder suicide of the teens in Hudson today.
Where did the young teen get that handgun? Where was the supervision.
OK I”m done. Apologies it is a sports blog and should be fun not this serious.

March 26th, 2015 at 7:56 pm
Considering what I do and my work ethic in the gym, I should be troubled by this, but I’m not too worried about it. Yes, it is a little bothersome that he isn’t in ideal condition at his age…but if his work ethic is truly as great as everybody that knows him says, then he’ll get that figured out.
March 26th, 2015 at 7:58 pm

Obama is a horrible president and Winston is lazy. Anyone who tries to argue against either one of those statements is absolutely clueless.
March 26th, 2015 at 8:09 pm
Brandon, if his work ethic was so great, it would be physically evident (as in he would be pretty ripped). Cmon, u know he’s being lazy….
March 26th, 2015 at 8:15 pm
@erik
Call me clueless
Winston excelled in playing two sports his whole life what do you mean by lazy? And before I go there I must ask do you follow politics and do you really want to have this debate with me??
March 26th, 2015 at 8:16 pm
Erik, I’ve ALWAYS been a monster in the gym… ALWAYs, but it wasn’t until I started taking my diet seriously (and actually added calories into my diet), ditched cardio, and tailored my workouts to train more anaerobically, did I start to resemble what I am now. There’s a TON of science to getting ripped… TONS! Growing up in a poor state, probably with a poor diet, relying on sports to get him in shape, Winston’s only chance of being ripped would be by having elite Adrian Peterson-type genetics… and that’s an incredibly low number of people.
I should be worried, but like I said, if he works as hard as EVERYBODY that knows him says he does, I’m not.

——————————————————
I took it as one. But you’re right, there’s a ton of science and meticulous dieting that goes into achieving one’s physical potential, not to mention a ton of hard work. Winston probably has pretty lousy genetics, when compared to other more sculpted athletes, for putting on size and getting lean, but his genetics are pretty darn good when it comes to chucking a football, making plays, and running an offense.

Wow. That helps end my night on a positive note. I wish ALL Americans were like you! This is what is wrong with our nation. There are too few who are like you.
BTW Agree about Colbert and Stewart. That’s what journalism has devolved into these days. Late night comedians now have more credibility than the so called “news sources”.
Whatever thanks for sharing…I needed that.
March 26th, 2015 at 8:38 pm
@Brandon
Excellent thoughts about getting “ripped”. Diet and genetics are huge.
I remember working out next to a couple of “brothas” in the gym. One was a big very strong guy, his friend very ripped. I was somewhere in the middle. The closest I’ve had to a six pack was a faint outline. One of these guys had a great six pack, the other was built more powerfully but no definition.
As the ripped guy and I checked out progress on our abs in the mirror the big guy comes over and looks at his when his friend said…”man you’ll never see your abs without an xray machine.” OUCH! LMAO

March 26th, 2015 at 9:01 pm
I agree with 1987’s take on Obama, that is until he reveals that another present option would be better.
March 26th, 2015 at 9:07 pm
Wow if someone would just read some of these posts they would have the pure definition of what “Haters are gonna hate” means. What will we read next that if we saw Winston without socks we could see that the young man “has larger toe nails on his left foot than his right and this will surely lead to his demise”. Looking for everything, anything. Desperate, even pathetic. And just think Winston is “so bad” yet is chosen to be picked 1st in an overwhelming fashion over Mariota. Wow, Mariota must REALLY be bad.
March 26th, 2015 at 9:07 pm
I hate to admit it, but it
Really is starting to feel like Jameis is the pick. I’m going to screen shot this today as a reminder, that this will be a HUGE mistake.
March 26th, 2015 at 9:39 pm
The Glazers need to steer clear of Winston. Mariota’s upside far outweighs the baggage that the human red flag brings.
March 26th, 2015 at 9:42 pm
Winston is lazy? And im just curious, eric, is dubya rushmore worthy? Roflmao!! Tactless racist.

“The Glazers need to steer clear of Winston. Mariota’s upside far outweighs the baggage that the human red flag brings.”
Unlike you, the Glazers and Lovie have already done there home work on the kid. I guess it still hasn’t sunk in it yet has it?
“I think they’re gonna run the offense similar to Atlanta the last few years being that they hired their coordinator (Dirk Koetter). And I had a lot of chance to talk to Tampa’s General Manager this past Thursday (at Mariota’s pro day) and what I was told was they have had two different people; private investigators digging deep into Winston’s past and doing a lot of homework on the guy. They’ve talked to about 75 people about his past, 75 sources and my feeling is their finding is that he’s a pretty good guy. At this point – I would be shocked; SHOCKED – if he was not the choice by Tampa.”
– Gil Brandt
So ya see….he has been investigated by the team. Thee end.
March 26th, 2015 at 11:20 pm
Oh yeah and I’m not worried about any weight issues or odd angle photographs at the moment
March 27th, 2015 at 1:32 am
What concerns me about Winston is the 1 pick every 280 yards passing. While playing with FAR superior talent (Kelvin Benjamin was a far superior talent then Winston in that huddle the same way Mike Evans was far better then Manziel) around him and some of the best Coaches in the country.
Then throw in the poor physical shape coming out of an elite program.
And add in the chance he has bad attitude when he starts to experience losing and DEs who are far faster then he is.
Oh and then add the character issues…
March 27th, 2015 at 1:35 am
And give him 20 million in the bank and tell him, ‘Son, now you need to work hard’.
I just don’t see how this ends well for this franchise at all. Well unless you want the franchise another big step closer to London.
Sad.
March 27th, 2015 at 4:03 am
WINSTON WILL BE VIEWED AS A BLACK SWAN DRAFT CHOICES.
FOR THOSE NOT UP TO DATE WITH A BLACK SWAN EFFECT IT GOES LIKE THIS.
IT IS AN EVENT THAT “THE DECISION, A FAILURE, WAS NEVER VIEWED AS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER AFTER ITS CONCLUSION WHEN THE FACTS COULD BE EVALUATED WITHOUT EMOTION, IT WAS CLEAR THAT ALL THE SIGNS WERE THERE EVEN THOUGH OVERLOOKED OR DISCARDED BY THOSE IN CHARGE”
March 27th, 2015 at 7:20 am
@ BUC 1987
Yeah Glazers have evaluated Winston and everything’s good. These are the same idiots that kept Jerramy Stevens on the roster. I’m glad all the Winstonites are so all in on the Glazer’s and how they do their homework on player evaluation. If they did their job do you think they would put out 10 years of putrid football.
March 27th, 2015 at 8:11 am
“I was told was they have had two different people; private investigators digging deep into Winston’s past and doing a lot of homework on the guy. They’ve talked to about 75 people about his past, 75 sources and my feeling is their finding is that he’s a pretty good guy.”
@MTM…75 different people by 2 different private investigators….spin it however you want, but he was investigated and everything turned up fine. Yet you call him a human red flag, and that just makes NO sense what-so-ever.
Again spin it however you want, blame the Glazers for hiring 2 investigators to look into Winston’s past and come up with virtually nothing.
You can sure as shyte bet if they did look into his past and found those “red flags” you care so much about, YOU and every other Winston-hater in here would be jumping all over it…
March 27th, 2015 at 8:44 am
@ Buc1987
People that question Winston’s ability to make it in the NFL aren’t haters or spin artists. They just look at the facts objectively. If you need to hire 2 private investigators and interview 75 people to make sure there potential draftee is ok.. there’s a problem. I also question his on field decision making, elongated delivery and his ability to keep him self in decent shape for the upcoming draft in which he is considered the # 1 pick.
As the saying goes. If you marry the stripper don’t be shocked when the sh*t hits the fan down the road. Winston is short term thinking not long term.
March 27th, 2015 at 9:50 am
MTM…they had to hire the investigators….after 2 years of constant media doing hit pieces on Winston.
Nothing came back as “red flags” after the investigation was done. The investigators pretty much said …he’s good to go. That he’s not a “human red flag.” I can’t help you if you think that’s not good enough.
Fans were asking the Bucs to do their due diligence on this kid, and the Bucs did it. Yet that’s STILL not good enough for some people, especially yourself.
Don’t think for a second that they aren’t or did not do homework and investigate Mariota as well. Along with Williams too.
Have a happy day! 🙂

What is embarrassing is that when people criticize Winston…the Winston lovers come out and call the detractors racists….just like the Obama lovers…if you disagree with Obama, you are a racist….why can’t some of the Winston lovers accept that some of us do not see life thru maroon and gold colored glasses and think that Mariota is the better QB…does not make us racist…maybe YOU are the racist ones since you must hate Hawaiians
March 27th, 2015 at 3:12 pm
@bo I like obama and I usually don’t consider people racists if they disagree. I usually call them ignorant morons because a lot of people make ignorant, moronic statements just because he is of the opposite political party. I same the same thing about liberal ignorant morons as well
