Jameis Winston Impressed Clinton McDonald
May 18th, 2015
So what happened when the Buccaneers ran sprints last week?
One thing was defensive tackle Clinton McDonald being impressed by Jameis Winston. And no, McDonald wasn’t making a wise crack about Jameis’ notorious lack of straight-ahead speed.
McDonald, who owns a Seahawks Super Bowl ring, was talking about leadership.
“When we were running sprints the other day, that [Jameis Winston] was one of the first guys wanting to get up there and run. You know how he leads the pack when he’s running,” McDonald said of what’s impressed him about America’s Quarterback. “Not to say the other quarterbacks don’t, or anybody else don’t, but as a young guy, sometimes it’s easy to be apprehensive and be passive. And say, ‘You know, I’m just going to play this day through. See how it goes. Feel it out a little bit.’
“But at the same time, I think Jameis takes his role seriously. I think he’s stepping up to the plate and he sees what’s on his plate. And I think he’s ready.”
The reviews of young Jameis continue to shine. Preseason kickoff is in 89 days.

Love CM! Truly impressed with his PC, his demeaner, attitude and knowledge of the game. If you didn’t see the clip I highly recommend it.

He’s already earning the Vets respect. This is a very good sign.

Mike Glennon threw at least one TD pass in his first Eight starts and threw only One INT in his first Ten TD passes. With JW being a better QB, us having an actual OC and a better OL than Glennon And having ME13 the sky SHOULD be the limit right??????

Skewed numbers.
Not going to throw alot of INT when you’re constantly checking it down and not taking risks.
May 18th, 2015 at 3:08 pm
anything less than 25 TD’s, no more than 15 INT’s and a wild card spot and jameis, the alleged, superstar……
and he is a complete failure. based on his own words, and those of his supporters. this guy is better than andrew luck, we have a legit OC, great defense and legit HC.
he darn well better make the playoffs.

yeah man….you gotta take some risks!
steal some $hit, shoot out some windows, beat a ho down, shout some obscenities, throw it up for grabs against weak as DB’s
May 18th, 2015 at 3:11 pm
Cpt Doom…
So if he throws more than 15 INTs and still makes it as a wildcard, is he still a failure?
May 18th, 2015 at 3:14 pm
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…
The ONLY stat that matters is W:L and as of right now, Glennon is 5:13.
That is the only thing i will hedge a bet on… Winston will have more wins in year ONE than Glennon has his entire Bucs career.
@Cpt Doom…
I was willing to have a decent discussion with you and talk to you like an adult, but clearly you are not one…have a nice day.
May 18th, 2015 at 3:26 pm
well then lovie should have been fired being that W & L is all that matters.
May 18th, 2015 at 4:09 pm
@ Captain Doom…
I never saw anyone on this site say that Jameis was better than Luck; that’s a complete fabrication on your part…Haters gonna hate…It’s sad, Jameis could save a old lady from a burning building and he’ll still have critics/people like you saying “hey, what took you so long”…smh..
May 18th, 2015 at 4:13 pm
Big Clint is a scary looking MF and a straight shooter. If there is anyone who I would believe about how Jameis is doing it’s him.
May 18th, 2015 at 4:45 pm
the only way jameis would save a woman from a burning building is if he heard “HELP, MY CRAB LEGS ARE BURNING!”

Great defense? Did you happen to watch the Atlanta or Baltimore games last season? From 2-14 to the playoffs with the addition of 1 player, that sounds like rational.

jameis christ is our qb and savior

Mariota Joe got das boot.

Guys we either have some trolls here or some faux Buc fans.
Some posters here have really painted themselves into a corner. If the Bucs win next year a lot of haters gonna be eating a lot of crow.
So which is it? Would they rather be right and have their OPINIONS confirmed, or would they rather see the Bucs win.
I was a Mariota guy heading into the draft. I’m ecstatic with Fameis right now.
I”ve already congratulated 87 and if Fameis takes us to the playoffs I’ll be thrilled to call 87 the blog Nostradamus.

Actually, 1Buc, there have been 1 or 2 individuals on this sight who have made that claim. Presently it sounds a bit ambitious, but as a Buc fan, I hope they’re correct!
May 18th, 2015 at 9:28 pm
Thanks Nole.
May 18th, 2015 at 9:56 pm
Me…I for one have said Winston will be better than Luck…then I changed it to Winston is better than Luck.
I hope I’m right too.

Another veteran is excited to have Jameis leading this team – hmmm. This one has a Super Bowl ring too. Clinton knows what a winning demeanor looks like…

58 comp% 2:1 TD:INT 100 sacks in first three years. A lot of Luck stats don’t wow you.. Its his intangibles that puts him in the upper echelon of QB’s..His stats aren’t what make Luck great..Its his ability to make the big plays when the game is on the line, 3rd and long, and redzone….The same 3 intangibles that allowed JW to go 26-1 as a starter in college…
Not saying JW will have the same success record wise as Luck did out the gate but he has all the ability in world to put up the same numbers and make the play around him better just as Luck did.

feels great to have the first pick overall, him be a quarterback and be good enough and smart enough to start day one. he doesn’t have to light the league on fire but show that he is going to be a great

Unfortunately, that’s where you’re wrong.
No one is going to be eating anything cause they’ll just change their names and claim they’ve been supporting the Bucs selection from the beginning.
That’s the joy of the internet: you can be whoever you want to be with no accountability.

man I like the way mcdonald flipped brees in our chase for jameis member that play
May 19th, 2015 at 5:08 pm
OK Clinton Mac. You’re impressed with Winston. So am I. But I AM NOT..drinking the kool aid this year. Last season I brought into the hype at seasons beginning and main…was I let down!!!! So this year I’m..cautiously optimistic. I’m all in for my Bucs. But this time I’m not..holding my breathe. I wanna see what we got first.
GO BUCS>
