Jason Licht On Jameis Winston: “Very Good. Excellent. Had A Great Day. … This Was Outstanding.”
March 31st, 2015
Joe was on scene at Jameis Winston’s pro day this afternoon at Florida State University, and has reaction from Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht.
Licht’s quick first impressions after Winston’s 102-ball throwing session: “Very good. Excellent. Had a great day. … This was outstanding,” Licht said. “He threw a full nine innings.”
Questions about Winston’s fitness might not be valid any longer, per Licht. Winston’s visible strength and endurance “puts that fire out,” Licht said. “He showed his arm strength to throw No. 1 to throw 100 and whatever it was.”
Overall, Licht said he was most impressed with Winston’s “leadership and arm strength and conditioning.”
What more can Joe say? The Bucs’ brass, from new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter on up, was seen beaming through the afternoon.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:33 pm
The fact that the guy didn’t show any improvement in the areas he was considered “weak” in isn’t a concern?
I hope for Bucs fans Dirk Koetter is the only one making this decision. How anyone could trust Lovie or Licht to pick an offensive player, let alone a QB, is beyond me.
I mean, these are the guys who thought Josh McCown was going to come in and lead this team to wins.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:33 pm
What were your impressions joe? I know you’re not bias or anything. 😉
March 31st, 2015 at 2:33 pm
I’m at work right now and wasnt able to watch the pro day coverage. I’m reading some reports about Winston being flabby. Is this being overblown or did it look like a concern to those watching?
March 31st, 2015 at 2:34 pm
Haha Joe is so biased it not even funny. Talk about fake journalism – puts together a piece with 1 quote to suggest Winston had a “great” day when he had anything but. He also tries to state Winston fitness issue is no longer a story based on today. Man the state of this type of journalism is laughable.
What’s really laughable is that you don’t realize Joe is quoting the Buccaneers general manager.–Joe
March 31st, 2015 at 2:35 pm
Nice baseball pun. What happens if the Bucs draft Winston and he decides he wants to play baseball and football. What recourse do the Buc’s have?
March 31st, 2015 at 2:36 pm
Yarres, all the networks agreed: his conditioning is of absolutely no concern. He threw the ball 100 times. 100. And his velocity or touch or energy didn’t drop at all
March 31st, 2015 at 2:37 pm
Nice name change, Yarres. –Joe
March 31st, 2015 at 2:38 pm
@Thegregwitul I was able to watch it on my phone…a little laggy but overall, it was a good picture.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:39 pm
@Joe
That’s the first time you’ve deleted my comment? What did i do wrong this time?
Anywhooo…..
welcome to tampa Mr. Winston
Raymond Jameis Stadium
Joe deletes dozens of links daily. That’s not what Joe’s comment sections is for. Thanks. –Joe
March 31st, 2015 at 2:39 pm
Hard to know what to make of this. Plenty of examples of good pro days for bad players (Jamarcus Russell) and bad pro days for good players (Teddy Bridgewater). It’s all about the tape.
If nothing else, it’s some additional PR cover for the Bucs to go ahead and draft him.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:41 pm
^^
Lmao stop with this cheese you sound like a CAMOLINA fan.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:41 pm
I watched it.
There were some mistakes…a bunch of them. But…he scored a lot of points with me. Maybe enough that I might support drafting him after I think about it some.
Seeing him explain why he won’t be at the draft? He squelched my reservations on that. He has very good reasons. I thought it was for selfish reasons, but it’s actually the opposite.
I still have concerns of ball placement. I think picks are going to be a huge part of his game. But…there have been pros that have been elite with the same issue. Favre for example.
He fumbled a snap once that I saw, but picked it up quickly. Might not turn out so nice if he does that in the NFL. It DID illustrate why it is so important we get a better center though. EDS has too many bad snaps.
ON THE 102 PASSES DECISION
It made the chances of a bad workout more likely, but I understand his reasons for it. I liked it because it allowed to see the real thing, not just a show of easy plays like most Pro Days. His red zone was elite quality.
I watched some things. For example, he was the first to grab the waters and offer it to his WRs. There was someone else assigned to do that, but Winston took it upon himself.
He showed patience with his WRs, and generally had good reactions to bad plays…something else I was watching for.
His post interview was top notch. His real personality really shined through it and his answers were not run of the mill ones…they actually showed intelligence and maturity.
Dang. I didn’t expect him to blow it, but I certainly did not expect to actually gain a liking for him.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:42 pm
The pictures look like Jameis has a hankering for fried foods….that’s a lot of flab for a young guy….
Oh well, take him anyway…
Hercules, Hercules, Hercules……
March 31st, 2015 at 2:42 pm
Fat slob…..slow footed sloath
March 31st, 2015 at 2:43 pm
I think Pro Days just help to confirm what you already know on film. I highly doubt that any (reputable) organization bases who they draft just on the pro day alone.
I can’t see how a player throwing an extra ~100 balls in a scripted environment would change the decision over the all the hours of film they’ve already seen.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:43 pm
No mention of the mixed reviews and how he struggled throwing on the run? Just comments from the guy who owns the #1 pick and who’s job is to make that pick as valuable as possible. No bias here at all! Lol!…. And by the way, I’m a great person! All of us great people throughout time must remind people of how great we are.
Dear buc4lyfe, regular readers here like you know Joe doesn’t put five people’s opinion in one post. Joe has plenty of time to flush out the full gamut of reaction. –Joe
March 31st, 2015 at 2:44 pm
@Thegregwitul
As you know, I have been against Winston from the start. That said, anyone saying he was flabby is a liar.
His ball placement was off. His mechanics were off (foot placement, balance, etc).
No QB is perfect, so I understand he has room to grow. That’s another statement the 102 passes demonstrated. It showed he is willing to work hard and do whatever it takes to get better.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:47 pm
i think winston is someone the bucs can grow with.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:48 pm
Draft Winston!!!He will get in shape at camp .
March 31st, 2015 at 2:49 pm
Damn, Winston tried to take out his own Receiver.
“One of Winston’s throws down the sideline to Green got away from the quarterback a bit and led the receiver out of bounds—and right into the ESPN set. It resulted in a loud crash, with everyone hoping that Green walked away unscathed.”
Also, Joe, everyone is talking about how flabby Winston looked. What did he weigh in at?
March 31st, 2015 at 2:49 pm
Yarris and kyle. Shut it. Jameis is the best player period. And the new face of the franchise. Im excited about our offense this year. Then i think of the oline and get deppressed again
March 31st, 2015 at 2:50 pm
He did not look flabby at all. Believe me…I looked for it.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:50 pm
Well, joe, you’ve never blocked any of my links before, especially when they’re pertaining towards the article.
Also, with that being said, if you would take my advice and enable all links posted to have [target=”_blank”], that would eliminate the issue of users clicking links and directed away from your site….
I even brought up this suggestion on that little questionare that we were forced to put in when you were having comments issues.
Again, just a friendly suggestion from a web developer; not me trying to be hostile.
Joe deletes 90 percent of links when he gets to them, so you might not always realize. Sometimes they will stay when they are on topic. Has nothing to do with windows.–Joe
March 31st, 2015 at 2:51 pm
He looked good. Lost weight. Doesnt look bad at all
March 31st, 2015 at 2:51 pm
The workout itself, curated by quarterback guru George Whitfield, focused on getting Winston on the move. He was chased by brooms on a number of snaps and was forced to throw across his body, cavorting himself in a number of awkward positions. Meant to flash his improved conditioning and ability to fire the ball in on the run, Winston’s routine arguably wound up doing more harm than good.
Former NFL executive Joe Banner outright called the workout “bad”
March 31st, 2015 at 2:51 pm
He had no 300 pound JJ Watt in his face….no pressure and he could not make throws?? Why am I the only one who sees huge red flags? The fact that Jason Licht is drooling all over himself is indicative of the free pass Famous Porky gets from the media and the Buc’s current regime!
He wants to be the #1 pick in the 2015 NFL draft…..I would say 51 of those 102 throws were not #1 worthy!
How do you know he is willing to work hard? How do you know he will put in the work every day? Tom Brady is still working with as much or MORE intensity after 15 years. I just do not see that kind of committment out of Jose’s boy here!
He surely did not work in the off season to improve his balance and throwing on the run! Taking into account the lack of talent evaluation and the inability of Lovie Smith to coach players to their potential makes this a very risky pick!
Greg Schiano
March 31st, 2015 at 2:52 pm
Then good ol’ fatty himself Shaun King:
“Conditioning-wise, Winston showed signs of exhaustion. He was sweating profusely at points—perhaps a product of his high attempts total and the nature of the workout—which former NFL quarterback Shaun King chalked up as irrelevant.”
March 31st, 2015 at 2:53 pm
He missed maybe 5 throws….out of 102. It was a good showing. No one expected any different. Plenty of haters that were hoping for him to flat out fail. He didn’t look chubby at all…not sure where that came from. I’m so tired of reading the comments from the Barry’s of the world, I’ve been skipping the comments section lately. Welcome to Tampa Mr Winston.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:54 pm
go ahead, draft him. I got my Tannehill jersey ready.
not about to root for the guy. the *cough* alleged, rapist.
the phrase morally bankrupt comes to mind.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:54 pm
Those that deny he is flabby…check out the Yahoo photos from todays FSU geek show … check out the endomorph #5……is someone playing a cruel joke on Jameis and giving him estrogen injections instead of HGH….
March 31st, 2015 at 2:55 pm
I am warming up to the fact that Winston will likely be our QB….and actually becoming a bit excited because even with some of his on-field flaws and potential off-field questions….we have never and I can say again NEVER had a QB with this sort of potential…..and this is coming from someone who would still choose Mariota.
We absolutely must pick a QB and if it’s Winston…he’ll do just fine.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:57 pm
Mcshay has him graded as the best QB since luck over the last 5 years!
But hey, all you keyborad QB coaches know better! Its so hard to imagine all this QB knowledge and experience is just bottled up on a bucs forum.
Rivers has awful throwing mechanics, yet he has been to 4 pro bowls and has five seasons of 4,000+ passing yards.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:57 pm
If he has problems throwing on the run then Tampa isn’t for him.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:57 pm
You can simply have concerns about him.
You can dislike him.
You can hate him.
You can even even defame him.
But, you know it’s not changing the pick. Get on board, the bus is filling.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:57 pm
@Joe, who the hell is Buc4lyfe? I’m just breaking balls and will be happy with whoever the Bucs believe is the best pick. I promise you this though, I’m not whoever the other person you mention is. Pretty sure it’s easy for you to confirm that. And by the way, I’m still a great person!
March 31st, 2015 at 2:58 pm
So I just noticed something pretty messed up. Profootballtalk typically has some of the most anti-Winston type articles (i.e. “Winston looks flabby” / etc) – mostly from Michael David Smith. I finally decided to chime in:
In one article; MDS suggests that the ONLY reason Winston was not charged with a crime was due to the botched investigation. I simply commented that saying something like that is rediculous if you read all of the case files. There were a TON of reasons they could not press any charges. He made this assertation in an article where he’s trying to make fun of jimbo fisher for criticizing the media for presenting biased 1/2 truths; and he is litereally doing EXACTLY what Fisher is calling out the media on.
The comment was deleted immediately. Then I made another; shorter version where I didn’t even use the writers name but just referred to him as the writer. That was deleted. Then I made another one; and then a 4th one that was very short / to the point/ nothing wrong with it – and it was immediatley deleted while another more general comment about Winston’s work ethic was left.
This is in a comment section FULL of hatred and vile mean comments about Winston. A comment section FULL of erroneous asserations about the case. This guy or this website is literally silencing my voice; and not allowing me to just simply state a few facts that conflict with what the writer suggests.
I’ve never seen anything like that in my life. Terrible journalism. Pathetic.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:59 pm
He was 91-102. That is more than 5 throws.
March 31st, 2015 at 2:59 pm
The trolls are really reaching now. Easier to ignore every day
March 31st, 2015 at 3:01 pm
Lovie and Licht are also the ones who made an outstanding first round draft choice in Evans last season.
Get a great young QB prospect this year to team him up with and we may have something going.
Go Jaboo. Excellent job today.
On the field and the interview.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:01 pm
“Skyline Crew Says:
March 31st, 2015 at 2:59 pm
He was 91-102. That is more than 5 throws.”
The rest were drops. Check twitter, plenty of people have confirmed.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:03 pm
Yah. What were your impressions joe. I know u were watching him closely with “there goes my hero” on your iPod. Funny but I heard he looked flabby/and had a mixed review on his throws But I am sure joe will only point out the amazing things cause that is all he does anymore. Jameis Jameis Jameis. I’m cool with him as the pick if he helps bucs win games even though I don’t care for the guy. Just curious to see if joe has any red flags or questions anything with pro day. Or typical Jameis article that he is superman. these biased comments were getting old months ago
March 31st, 2015 at 3:07 pm
Yarres your an idiot the guy threw 103 balls and yes Joe is right thats coming straight from are gm get your head out of your ass and stop being a baby

Thats the most unbias post I’ve seen from you yet about Winston, Bonzai. Your coming around. The more you see of the kid the more I am positive you will grow to love him. If gator fans can learn to love the kid, anybody can.
Welcome to Tampa, Jameis!
March 31st, 2015 at 3:10 pm
What pictures are you all looking at I watched the entire workout and thought he looked to be in great shape and threw great especial towards the end in the red zone. There were only maybe 6 incompletions out of the 102 passes and 1 of those was a perfect deep ball to Rashaad Green that he just dropped.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:11 pm
google winston pudge @waterboy
March 31st, 2015 at 3:13 pm
Just Google Winston pro day. Plenty of articles questioning his work ethic and weight issues. Also, *gasp* comparisons to Jamarcus due to not staying in shape.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:14 pm
Do we really need to pipe in some Taylor Swift?
Haters gonna hate
Players gonna play
Shake it off.
I respect a lot in fact most of the posters here but BucBonzai and TBBF are among the most objective and they are Mariota supporters.
If they both felt good about Fameis workout today then I gotta believe he looked pretty good.
Ian Beckles goes on about how many players he’s seen who look like Greek gods, sculpted statues, who can’t play a lick.
Fameis will get in shape but his body type doesn’t appear conducive to getting ripped for a bodybuilding contest. Not that he couldn’t but he would have to diet so stringently that he would be weak and unable to compete properly.
I’m ready for Fameis. If the Bucs pull a switcheroo though and go with Mariota is everybody going to grip or be OK. I get the mutiny if they trade down and don’t pick either one.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:15 pm
I don’t have to Google it I watched it on TV and know what I saw.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:15 pm
The best part is he is staying home because his Grandma can’t travel. And here we thought (because of Winston Homers) it was because he would be booed off stage.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:16 pm
Then I guess we have different standards of what in shape is versus flabby. I bet he wears an A cup, maybe a B.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:17 pm
i meant flab. well then don’t act ignorant of his royal flabbiness. its there, argue whether or not it is a big deal, not whether or not it existed.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:18 pm
I just want to know what his weight was to compare it to a month ago.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:19 pm
THe trade smoke is blowing! Licht is trying to sell this pick hard! And hopefully some team takes the bait.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:19 pm
Lol for people to already have articles about winstons pro day and questioning his work ethic means they already had those stories planned before it even happened.
Go head and believe that stupidity. It just shows your intelligence, or lack there of. LMAO, I love the stupidity.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:19 pm
The guy made great throws and was put in a lot of simulated pressure situations that required him to step up in the pocket and sometimes rollout to throw and he looked good in every situation and still was accurate with good velocity on his passes.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:19 pm
Yup! Jamarcus Russel clone. Gut and all!
March 31st, 2015 at 3:20 pm
Great interview with Jameis with Mike and Kurt, no mention of Howe hearried himself by the naysayers. How he threw all those throws so his teammates could get extra looks, how passionate he is, how Kurt Warner talked about how he just lit up like a lightbulb when talking about the technical side of a QB, non supporters (I won’t say haters) keep doing your thing, while Jameis leads the Bucs back to glory or some other team if we pass. He already said he would be disappointed if he wasn’t taken by the BUCS.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:21 pm
The best part is he is staying home because his Grandma can’t travel. And here we thought (because of Winston Homers) it was because he would be booed off stage.
————————————–
You just love to hear yourself talk right? yes that was 1 of the reasons for him staying home. Do you honestly think he wont be boo’d if he shows up in Chicago? Go head and keep saying stupid stuff for us.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:22 pm
Everything I read said the reviews were mixed. Of course, we are the Bucs for a reason.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:23 pm
NFL network is bashing him pretty hard, saying it was to ” scripted” and didn’t get into a ” Rythm” “under threw a lot of balls” so it’s not as good as JOE is trying to say. I get the feeling licht is trying to make it sound good to sell this pick on a trade.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:23 pm
Ruh-roh, the Burger King is not impressed. Should be a fun future article
shaun king @realshaunking 1 hr1 hour ago
And yall know im a big Jameis Winston guy but i keep it 100. That workout was C+ at best. His footwork was bad and he was inaccurate.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:24 pm
Remember that sack/backward pass…..did he do that today ?
March 31st, 2015 at 3:24 pm
Including drops, isn’t 91-102 a 89.2% completion percentage? I wouldn’t criticize that…unless I was a moron of course!
March 31st, 2015 at 3:24 pm
Why do you guys make stuff up about Winston. He is in incredible shape right now. Just a complete lie. Don’t make stuff up. No QB is perfect but find real things to criticize.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:24 pm
its kind of a MUST we draft rashad greene as well as winston its an instant upgrade in a key position in dirks offense (Harry Douglas). i hope jason licht was listening when rashad greene said keep the duo going greene even knows the bucs need a 3rd receiver
March 31st, 2015 at 3:25 pm
I like he is going to stay with his Grandmother who can’t travel.
Good for him.
Don’t see that kind of unselfish gesture much anymore.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:25 pm
Ok dan…you are probably over weight urselfo
urself. Likethe rest of u haters. And robert9. Id be happy that u would become a dolphins fan. So i dont jave to read ur retarted comments anymore
March 31st, 2015 at 3:27 pm
I did not have access to watch Winston today. From the tone of the article and comments, it looks like nothing has changed and the Winston train is still headed to Tampa Bay.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:28 pm
@skyline – he said he had dropped 20 lbs and when you get around to watching the film he was in very good shape.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:29 pm
I want to give a sincere thank you to the anti-Winston guys. I honestly appreciate the entertainment.
Of course, it’s not changing the pick. It’s Winston. But, I love seeing you guys spin your wheels.
Please get madder!! Try all caps or talk about autographs or shaving points!!
March 31st, 2015 at 3:29 pm
Winston = pudge gut.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:29 pm
I have never had much of a problem with Winston’s on field capabilities/talent….the more I see him in interviews and with other players…and I have been watching very closely….he is very charismatic and friendly….and pretty much lights up the room.
It appears everyone really likes being around him. That will be very important for him going forward because of the challenges he will face.
He will be picked on by opposing fans….and I suspect that will simply motivate he and his teamates even more.
I feel fortunate because I will be totally happy on draft night…it’s taken a while for me to get here….I urge other Winston skeptics to join the chorus….
March 31st, 2015 at 3:30 pm
L&L…..the door has been left ajar…..run…run…run…from Jameis….
Inexcuseable (except for FSU fans)…..that Jameis at this point post season…working with every possible training coach to prepare him for the draft….and this is the best he has to show…forget about the number total of completed balls……this was about mechanics,conditioning,footwork etc….Jameis created more questions than he answered

So at the combine he was 231 so he should be at 211 then. He is lighter than Mariota. That should worry you all since you believe that Mariota can’t handle hits, but apparently he is heavier than Winston now. According to Bucfan4life anyways.

Bad reviews coming in from Kurt Warner, accuracy was a big issue, along with footwork
March 31st, 2015 at 3:36 pm
Evan Shaun King wasn’t impressed hahaha
March 31st, 2015 at 3:36 pm
So Winston had a poor pro-day. He looked flabby. He had difficulty throwing on the run. He tried to injure Green on an overthrown pass. He threw behind receivers. McShay said he was underwhelmed by the performance. Yet, the Homers are out in strength saying he had an amazing day and farts rainbows.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:36 pm
Hey Anti-Winstons,
Try calling people names like “retarded” or maybe hold your breath and stomp your feet.
We all know what’s happening on the 30th.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:37 pm
92-102 with 6 drops.

“Conditioning-wise, Winston showed signs of exhaustion. He was sweating profusely at points—perhaps a product of his high attempts total and the nature of the workout—which former NFL quarterback Shaun King chalked up as irrelevant.”
Doesn’t sound like he was in shape to me. Signs of exhaustion? He should do these workouts everyday so he is in shape come the first day of practice.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:38 pm
I had a great pro day!
March 31st, 2015 at 3:38 pm
He tried to injure Green on an overthrown pass

LMAO Yet another well thought out comment that proves just how much you love the guy.

Maybe he didn’t try to do it, but his poor throw almost injured a WR that is looking to be drafted. What if he would have injured the kid and possibly broke his leg?

Lovie knows Jameis Winston is the only hope for him to save his meh career.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:42 pm
It was not a good pro day. Simple as that. Winston clearly has endurance concerns, dude was sweating harder than a crab at red lobster.

Just because I don’t want him as my QB doesn’t mean I hate the guy. I just don’t want him as my QB. It is really that simple. I know it is hard for a Winston Homer/Lover to understand that, but it is simple.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:44 pm
Anyways, I’m outta here folks. Nice talking with the Lovers. Hope you all got a good session in today. Relieve some of that stress you all have.

The young man looked good today.Not fat .in shape and in command.That is our next quarterback no matter what you haters say.oh and ps if you rape somebody then why would she give him a bj first.read the facts

#1 pick, baby. Super Bowl, here we come.
March 31st, 2015 at 3:46 pm
Not wanting him as your QB is acceptable. But saying stupid things as for why you dont want him is well, i know you dont like hearing it but truth hurts, hateful. Just sayin… It’s ok though like I said I would say silly things to, to lift up my guy that had no chance of being drafted by us.

“Conditioning-wise, Winston showed signs of exhaustion. He was sweating profusely at points—perhaps a product of his high attempts total and the nature of the workout—which former NFL quarterback Shaun King chalked up as irrelevant.”
Doesn’t sound like he was in shape to me. Signs of exhaustion? He should do these workouts everyday so he is in shape come the first day of practice.”
He was sweating, but he wasn’t winded. Try again.

According to NFL network, Winston drew mixed results during his pro day. The biggest criticism of his performance was he never really seemed to get in a rythym…especially while throwing on the run.
I’ll say the same thing I did after Mariota’s performance…I don’t know that I’d put too much emphasis on a pro day showing. I’m still in the Mariota camp, but either of these QBs I’d be satisfied with.

No mention of the mixed reviews and how he struggled throwing on the run? Just comments from the guy who owns the #1 pick and who’s job is to make that pick as valuable as possible. No bias here at all! Lol!…. And by the way, I’m a great person! All of us great people throughout time must remind people of how great we are.
Dear buc4lyfe, regular readers here like you know Joe doesn’t put five people’s opinion in one post. Joe has plenty of time to flush out the full gamut of reaction. –Joe

????????????? What’s that all about? Whatever anyway someone’s gone mental and I don’t know which of you it is so I’ll just say I watched the pro day and seemed like he tried to do too much he did OK but he needs help on his footwork but he does seems kinda clueless oblivious to what anyone thinks of him. Don’t like some of his mannerisms today but he’s the pick
March 31st, 2015 at 4:51 pm
lots of ignorance in these comments.
March 31st, 2015 at 5:16 pm
I think Licht might have been feeding you a bit of a BS sandwich Joe, and if he wasn’t, then I’m kinda scared about the GM situation. I don’t think he was terrible, but i definitely wouldn’t say he was “very good. had a great day. excellent…this was outstanding”
March 31st, 2015 at 5:20 pm
I knew nothing of Winston except for what the media has had to say. Some good things some bad. After watching him closely the past couple of months I have to admit the kids personality is something special. He reminds me of Magic Johnson. When Magic came to the Lakers they were sooooo boring. They played with no emotion, just playing the game for the $$$. If you are old enough to remember “SHOWTIME” you know the impact that type of personality came have on a team. I still don’t know if Jameis will licht it up in the NFL, but I have to admit I’m having a hard time not getting excited at the possibilities !!!! GO BUCS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Great thought Bucslegends – and very true.
The statement was made more than once by analysts today that “Winston makes the players around him better players”. Not only did Magic Johnson have the gift of incredible basketball skills – at a legendary level – part of what made Magic so special was his personality. His love and respect for the game. His leadership. Leading his teams to multiple championships with stellar play and even better set ups. Magic was the Master of the beautiful and sometimes impossible assist. He set his teammates up for success so that they could all excel.
If you want the best definition of the “IT” factor that words can muster – you just read it.
Jameis Winston has “IT”. And in 30 days Jameis will be a Buccaneer.
“Jaboo Dor-Eh Jaboo-Dor-eh – Welcome Jameis – Jameis today”
The Who’s in Whoville open their voices in celebration….

What will the Winston fans who shrilly proclaim that he is “pro ready” do when he shows that a Pick Machine in the ACC is a major Pick Machine in the NFL?
Unwise off the field, unwise on the field.

Haha Joe is so biased it not even funny. Talk about fake journalism – puts together a piece with 1 quote to suggest Winston had a “great” day when he had anything but. He also tries to state Winston fitness issue is no longer a story based on today. Man the state of this type of journalism is laughable.
What’s really laughable is that you don’t realize Joe is quoting the Buccaneers general manager.–Joe
At least Yarres knows that he is and buried his head in the sand.

Re-reading this thread, I realize if this is all the Winston nay Sayers have, it’s time for them to wave the white flag and come onboard. Perhaps we best look at picks 2-7 now. We now owe it to this young man to build a solid oline so that he can further develop his talents as the “real” Bucs QB of the future.
