Sports Science On Jameis Winston
April 14th, 2015
The Buccaneers, like many teams, boast about how they covet analytics. To Joe, it’s about watching gametape first and foremost.
BSPN occasionally runs a show called “Sports Science.” It is pretty good, even for a non-statgeek like Joe.
In a recent episode, the show broke down both Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, and showed why so many NFL scouts like Winston and are spooked by Mariota, using both gametape and analytics.
The show even had footage of Winston as a high school senior in their laboratory displaying his famed accuracy.
Enjoy!

What is Jameis going to do about his poor vision…….
April 14th, 2015 at 8:19 am
Jameis’s vision is fine—that was trumped up BS by commentators during games who didn’t bother to do their homework.
He has had numerous eye tests throughout his career.
He has said multiple times this is just how he deals with lights in a football stadium. I know it is unorthodox, but do you really believe that he has a vision issue that just somehow never been adressed–even at FSU which has one of the most high tech and comprehensive sports staffs in the NCAA.

“High percentage – first read targets.”
That’s pretty much the definition of “system quarterback.”
Doesn’t mean he will suck, but does mean we are evaluating him based on his system and not his skill set.

Bitch, whine, critique, and moan all you want…
The Chosen One IS going to BE the pick.
That’s pretty much all that matters at this point.
Whining and moaning about Winston was soooo 2 months ago.

Spooked by Mariota? Seriously? Now that’s a switch, because many more are spooked by Jameis, obviously, or JBF (nee “JWF”) wouldn’t have to defend him constantly.

Mariota was a benefit of his system as far as his accuracy and inflated stats show. Not to say the kid isn’t super talented becuz he is but, he didn’t have to work through his reads as much. He even said it on Gruden..he sees his matchup pre-snap and looks to sideline for checks. Also because of his speed teams had to worry about him taking off and became undisciplined and he burned them. After all that, I still wouldn’t mind us drafting this kid.

Jameis Winston the child prodigy will put the Bucs back at the top. With nothing but football to concentrate on I really think his ceiling will be limitless. Just my opinion I believe the Chip Kelly offense will be more deadly with Jameis at the controls look at the QBs he had or has run the system drop back passers with a little mobility. There are plenty of spread QBs he could have picked for his roster Chip knows you still have to win from the pocket.

I can’t wait for us to draft Jameis.
Joe,
I wasn’t able to find it yet on their website, but If you get the chance please listen to the mad dog interview on SeriusXM 85 from yesterday with David Cornwell(attorney that has represented the NFL, the NFLPA and The NFL Coaches Association).
The interview was powerful about the type of person Jameis is and why Mr. Cornwell has such strong convictions about him.
One of the things he said about Jameis and the things he has heard from trusted scouts is that Jameis is a once in a generation type player and that he is very confident that nobody would pass on him in the draft.

Winston is the only sane choice Lovie can make which is why people are concerned. Lovie is far from sane. Mariota is a huge risk. I love how the 6 or 8 Mariota hold overs are counting his future super bowls when he has yet to prove he can call a play in the huddle and consistently read defenses. Mariota must first learn to walk in NFL before he can run. Meanwhile immediately Winston steps in and buys incompetent Lovie another year which is scary but a needed sacrifice to obtain the chosen one, the saviour of the bay Mr. Jameis Winston. Winston is coming to Tampa. Live it, love it and, Accept it….

@ jimmy53 I don’t recognize your screen name so maybe you’re new. You don’t need to answer JoeJoe. He is one of a few guys here who always bashes JW. He is one of the “haters.” There are few of them still left including subparsam, robert9 and Barry the car thief who will never say anything good about him and criticize all things Jameis. They are kind of like two year olds throwing a temper tantrum that they’re not getting their way. Can’t wait to see JW as a Buc.
April 14th, 2015 at 9:06 am
I still have my doubts about both. I prefer Mariota over Winston, but will accept either at this point.
I want to see more off Petty though. Huntley doesn’t impress me. Pure runner. Mariota at least looks to throw until he has to commit to the run.
And as far as accuracy on the move, they pretty much said it…when he sets his feet he is accurate. It’s a training issue. Not a talent issue.
Winston is a hit or miss proposition. He’ll either be fantastic and the answer to all Bucs fans dreams, or he’ll be a nightmare pick. There will be no middle ground with him.
Whichever the pick is, I don’t expect a good rookie year. In fact, I expect a very bad rookie year because of the line. I predict the fans will fully turn on the QB within 6-8 games…as always happens here. Some will be against him by game 3.
I’ll give him a couple years to show he can improve before I give up, unless there are off the field issues.

People act like Jameis is going through a progression on every snap. Not in the games I’ve watched. He’s throwing to his first read 95% of the time.
April 14th, 2015 at 9:17 am
Grow up robert.
April 14th, 2015 at 9:18 am
Robert 9…. Jealousy will get you nowhere.
Don’t be ignorant all your life. Why don’t you take a day off for once.?
April 14th, 2015 at 9:28 am
Kyle, 95% is high but you are right that he throws to first read a lot. That is a good thing because it means he is making the right presnap reads.
April 14th, 2015 at 9:29 am
jimmy53…incorect “his way of dealing with lights”…….Jameis needs corrective lens to see 20-20…….he wears contacts playing baseball……plays without contact lens playing football……

What is Jameis going to do about his poor vision…….
—————-
If only there were a such thing as corrective lenses somebody could be making a fortune and helping out soooooo many people. I just don’t think it can be done… but what’s done super easily is learning how to be a pro style QB despite never having worked in a pro style offense for your entire life… that’s easy. Vision improvements? Science fiction, this ain’t Star Wars, bro… what are they going to do, give him bionic eyes, or little glass bent to make objects bigger which he would wear on his face… or even crazier, little tiny lenses put directly on the eyeball? PFFFFFFTTTTTT!

______________
95% is high, but yes, he does throw to his first read a lot. Which is why he was picked off a lot. However, during the Gruden then he acted like that was the first time he had heard that before. I guess Jimbo didn’t want to hurt his ego down there.
April 14th, 2015 at 10:52 am
So far in life, Jameis treats women just like Big Ben. That’s a great comparison.
April 14th, 2015 at 10:54 am
Lol @ Brandon. I am sorry to rational Mariota lovers but guys like JoeJoe make you all look bad. They make up the dumbest sht and try to turn it on Jameis. Too bad Joe doesn’t ban homophobes like Robert9 and people that’d constantly poster stupid things like JoeJoe. The comments page would be a lot better without these types creeping around.

I wish Joe would write an article based on that statement. People can’t seem to understand it and won’t accept it
Go Bucs
Raymond Jameis Stadium
More wins in season 1 that Glennon’s career with the Bucs

Dude really…the sarcasm here is uncalled for. Maybe if u watched the game…you would know the receiver quit on that play Gruden asked him about. Travis Rudolph, the receiver in question even stated it himself. Y do u and ur Winston hating buddies have to FIND a reason not to like him? Just say so leave it alone. But no, u keep repeating over and over the hate. It will consume u if u let it.
April 14th, 2015 at 2:18 pm
I honestly do have a new fondness for Winston after watching the gruden camp, but I still prefer Mariota. Either way, our QB should be way better than last year when combined with a real OC…. Jameis is a likeable guy, but I like Mariota’s overall skillset and athleticism and he’d be my pick for sure.
April 14th, 2015 at 2:20 pm
@David
No one knows what you are talking about.
Gruden and Jameis went through several of his picks and Gruden showed him that a majority of his picks came from his 1st read Greene. I don’t know what you are talking about with Rudolph.
