Tom Jones: Bucs Should Dump Winston Now
June 21st, 2018
The first high-profile hammer has dropped on America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, and it comes from the Tampa Bay Times.
In a scathing column, Tom Jones writes that Jameis should never wear a Bucs uniform again.
Word of the looming, multi-game NFL suspension arrived today for Jameis’ hassle with a female Uber driver. It’s not official yet but league-owned NFL Network is reporting it and Jones has seen enough.
He believes Jameis needs to leave town, get help and he pretty much calls Jameis a criminal.
This was more than partying that got a little out of hand. We need to call it what it was: sexual assault. And this isn’t the first time those awful two words have been associated with Winston.
Enough of this guy. Get him out of here. Let him be someone else’s problem.
Maybe Winston needs to get counseling or some kind of help. He should — for his sake and for all of those who might come in contact with him from now on. Maybe there’s still time for him to turn his life around.
But it should not be here in Tampa Bay. There’s no way Winston should ever wear a Bucs uniform again.
Man, Joe sure hopes Jones is not picked for jury duty in his home county. And you thought Roger Goodell was judge, jury and executioner!
It’ll be interesting to see what the NFL’s eventual suspension report includes, if any detail at all. Joe’s not ready to call Jameis guilty of anything yet, other than having poor judgment.
Now if the NFL says Jameis acted inappropriately and nobody from One Buc Palace defends him, and Jameis doesn’t appeal, well, then Joe might find it hard not to agree with Jones. But his take tonight is awfully harsh with flimsy facts available.

not much good to team if he cannot play. should have drafted mariotta
June 21st, 2018 at 8:05 pm
The Times should dump Jones too
June 21st, 2018 at 8:05 pm
The suspension is for not reporting the issue with Uber. The assault is BS.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:05 pm
So we’ve known about the incident for awhile now.. but now all of the sudden they should release him out of moral reasons? Not the suspension? That doesn’t even make sense.
Also I live in DC (never FL) and even I know how much of a clown Tom Jones.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:07 pm
Tom Jones also wanted to lay Freeman $100 Million!
June 21st, 2018 at 8:11 pm
Not saying the draft would have gone any differently but the NFL really did a disservice to the fans of this team by dragging it out past Free Agency and the Draft when this story broke in November of last year. Especially considering how quickly the Panthers GM and Matt Patricia had their cases wrapped up. Again, not saying the team would have done anything differently but the NFL didn’t even give us the option.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:12 pm
Insanity. Maybe Tom Jones is the one who should “get some help”.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:12 pm
Some of you people are complete idiots. You’re still arguing for Winston the same way you did in college. If there is no inappropriate behavior there’d be no reason for the girl to call her boss and have Winston‘s account canceled. Something obviously happened and it was bad enough that Winston wanted to brush it under the carpet. That’s all you have to know. This is not a criminal case. He chose to do the wrong thing like he always does on and off the field. There is no excuse. Stop defending him. Get your heads out of your asses
June 21st, 2018 at 8:16 pm
He got 6 games and negotiated it to 3. There will be no appeal and NFL avoids this dragging out during season.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:16 pm
CHRIS,
The cold hard truth here is that the NFL could give a rat’s behind about us Bucs fans. Who remembers that phintom offensive PI call in 2010 against the Lions that kept us out of the playoffs and therefore changes the course of NFL history (Packers got out playoff berth and won the SB)? Shame shame shame. This will sadly be my last year as a season ticket holder bc I can put up with the nonsense any longer (Joe got my e-mail).
-Bucs fan who has been repeatedly kicked in the balls
June 21st, 2018 at 8:19 pm
The one thing not said by we the fans is, why didn’t Jameis tell Koetter or Licht or someone in the organization when the accusations were made? Wouldn’t you think that should have been made as clear as glass to him from the day he came in the door, to let them know if any range of sexual accusations were being made? Reporting rule or not, the organization shouldn’t have been caught blind sided. Someone dropped the ball…figuratively and literally.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:23 pm
Jones is garbage. He is a reason I don’t to their site. Ever
June 21st, 2018 at 8:24 pm
If the NFL truly believes a SEXUAL ASSAULT occurred, THEN HOW IN THE HE’LL IS IT ONLY 3 GAMES?!?!?!
June 21st, 2018 at 8:25 pm
Etzel, the part you are leaving out is the presumption of innocence while this was going on. There was an accusation that JW denied. We then heard reports that Darby backed up his story and heard nothing else from the NFL.
Based on those facts, people (including myself) gave him the benefit of doubt and hoped he was innocent. However, now it appears that he will be suspended and will not appeal.
If any of us were innocent of this type of accusation, there is NO WAY you would just take this suspension without appealing and pleading our case. All i am saying is that if he does not appeal and plead his innocence then i assume he did what he is accused of. If that is the case, then he needs to leave town. Simple as that!
June 21st, 2018 at 8:26 pm
I’m inclined to agree with Tom Jones. As a former (thank God) Uber driver, I know that Uber always sides with the rider unless there is some kind of proof. I reported a few riders for their behavior, but the only time they told me definitively that a rider’s account had been terminated, was when I sent them an audio recording. I’m guessing the Uber driver in question had a dash cam and was able to provide audio proof that SOMETHING untoward happened. It probably wasn’t definitive as to who did what, hence the 3 (and not 6+) game suspension.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:27 pm
Agree with Jones…Are Bucs gonna invest in 2nd contract on this sh*t? He’s done nothing but lose, has a bum shoulder that started at the combine and is a turnover machine….he can work all he wants at being early to the building and putting the show on, eating “L’s” and all….He’s a fraud and set this franchise back another number of years…trade, get a QB and start over
June 21st, 2018 at 8:33 pm
If Stroud is right on this.. “Winston’s suspension could be increased if he fails to meet certain undisclosed requirements expected to be imposed by the NFL”….sounds like it is more than just not reporting. So before we go to the mat in righteous indignation about the commish’s actions, suggest we all take a deep breath and wait for more information.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:34 pm
I guess the Cowboys should cut their ruining back big E. If big E was cut ,the Buc’s to include Jones would not think twice about picking him up.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:34 pm
I for one dont give a spit.
Only thing I watch football for is entertainment.
My team looses IDC, My team wins IDC.
Only difference between the two.
If they win I get to be entertained for another week. With 3 additional weeks being the most.
Heck if they win to much I get robbed a week.
Who cares win babies are being killed in the womb and people fund it with tax dollars!
June 21st, 2018 at 8:35 pm
What would “undisclosed requirements” be? Some kind of counseling and such? Sounds like they think it more than just “not reporting”.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:37 pm
I don’t consider an NFL investigation a case of guilty or innocent. This isn’t the court of law. NFL hands out suspensions like Hershey’s Kisses.
I think the precedent was set with Zeke last year that you can be suspended without probable cause.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:38 pm
I will be watching college football games this fall to watch for any potential future quarterbacks that the Buccaneers can draft. Anyone here got any suggestions? I hear the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Elephants quarterbacks are good but won’t be eligible for next year’s draft.
Will be keeping an eye out for Nick Foles too if he has to start the season due to Wentz’s injury rehab. Foles recently restructured his contract to allow him to hit free agency if he chooses to and the Buccaneers should be a potential destination for him with our receiving core.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:42 pm
Tom Jones’s credibility is just as bad as Alex Jones.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:45 pm
I wonder what it would cost to trade for Nick Foles….. probably a whole lot…. draft picks, GMC …. I would say Winston but, like my season tickets, that dummy is worthless now. WORTHLESS!

No Greg, he obviously didn’t do something wrong. You don’t know and neither do i. If there was an assault, why not call the cops? Maybe, just maybe, this was a shakedown for cash and a police report could have shown this to be BS.
There is no evidence either way.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:48 pm
Finally we have a closure on this matter!
Let’s now prepare for those games without #3 and see what consequences this suspension brings.
I believe in Fitzpatrick to bring us a couple of W’s in the first 3 games and, if necessary, to make us a contender this season.
There is no rush to judge Jameis right away.
Go Bucs!!!!

We should stop blaming the NFL. Winston is the one who put himself, his team and his fans in this predicament. Something happened in that car. His own statement strongly suggests as much, as does Darby’s defense- with both suggesting the driver was guilty of mistaken identity. Not once did Jaboo day that he wasn’t present. Now, if Darby and another NFL player were in the car, they should be subject to a similar penalty/ on similar grounds. Something stinks here and it may very well be Jaboo.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:51 pm
Well…
The last team to have its starting QB suspended for the first few games ended up winning the Super Bowl that season.
Last year – a team that lost its starting QB turned to its backup and won a Super Bowl.
No excuses. That’s the story of the last two Super Bowl winners in the NFL.
Onwards!
June 21st, 2018 at 8:51 pm
Could this be like Big Ben and the Steelers? He had the sexual assault issues then went on to be a HOF caliber QB. It just makes me wonder, Jameis and his decision making are terrible at best.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:54 pm
Has any one read the report by the N.FL. I guess she should cut Winston,so he can go get a ring somewhere else grow up folks.
June 21st, 2018 at 8:55 pm
If the Bucs do decide to stick with Winston, Ray Jay will look like a ghost town next season. You think there were lots of empty seats last year, just wait until next year.
Calling Nick Foles?
June 21st, 2018 at 8:55 pm
If there is so much negative information, why did it take this long? Why were there never charges brought? Was there a payoff? It sounds like there are more facts that are being covered up by either the NFL or the Bucs. Is the public entitled to hear the true facts of the case, or will this be another sweep under the carpet either for or against Winston?
And no the Bucs should not have drafted Mary-ota. The should have traded down and built the trenches first. Finally, they have addressed the foundation.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:01 pm
Lesson is always, ALWAYS report to your employer after to sexually assault a young woman
June 21st, 2018 at 9:01 pm
Ppl act like Judge Judy handed the suspension. NFL is NO REAL COURT
June 21st, 2018 at 9:05 pm
What I’m hearing is that jameis doesn’t want to fight this because as seen with Tom Brady and such, these hearings drag out into next year. If he doesn’t play the first three games this year he only losses $124000.00. If this drags out and he’s suspended next year, he losses millions. It makes sense when you think of it from a dollar stand point. Either way, I need more facts and why Goodell and his goons came up with the three games.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:05 pm
Almost 2.5 years ago. Hes young having fun and read her signals wrong. Went in for a grab and got rejected. So what, big deal. He didn’t force more advances. Hes getting married and having a kid. Lets move on people. This is nothing.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:15 pm
I can’t stand so called Bucs fans the best WB we ever had An ppl are calling to get rid of him make a statement Bucs Front office give him his long term deal show everyone we’re behind JW he’s our guy GoBUCS
June 21st, 2018 at 9:21 pm
Wow!!! Starting to hear rumors that the nfl investigation JW3 was alone in the car for a period of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! starting to sound like the NFL was going to go for the mandatory 6 game suspension, But a deal to not appeal was cut, and it was agreed upon 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 21st, 2018 at 9:26 pm
Tom Jones is an absolute idiot and a hack! That is why WDAE dumped HIM sand the times should do the same. What an arse!
June 21st, 2018 at 9:28 pm
Winston is simply not that good. To put up with this distraction after the last years disappointing performance is just too much. I don’t see the Buccaneers maturing or improving with that man at the quarterback position.
Can you name 10 better QB’s than Winston. You shouldn’t at this point. The Buccaneers 2015 number one overall draft pick is not a top tier quarterback in 2018 and now facing a suspension.
The Bucs don’t have to dump him. But the reality is he has proven to be a good quarterback, but he ain’t great.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:31 pm
Also Tom Jones is the same asp wipe that wanted the Bucs to give Freeman 100 million dollars! Go peddle your garbage Jones in your loser fish wrap.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:31 pm
Tom Jones is the one in need of help, jumping to conclusions without sufficient evidence. Not something that should be tolerated in a journalist of any type. The Times should cut ties with him tomorrow morning.
If strong evidence is presented that Winston IS guilty of the allegations, and not just guilty of failing to self-report, than that would be disturbing news, and I would understand where Jones is coming from. But jumping to a conclusion as he’s doing is a bad look. He’s not serving the Tampa Bay area by stories such as this. Rather he’s part of the problem and should be shown the exit door.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:35 pm
So being accused automatically equals guilt, wtf. Screw Tom Jones seriously the guy is a clown!
June 21st, 2018 at 9:53 pm
Buckhead5588, how can you not understand why this is a big deal? I’m an FSU grad and have been a big supporter of JW on this site. However, if he groped this woman and then lied about it after his history at FSU, then i am sorry, I can no longer support this player.
I have two daughters and there are things more important than football.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:55 pm
Will JW expect to be one of the highest paid QBs in the league after this? There will be even more pressure on JW to win when he gets back on the field.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:57 pm
Darby wasn’t even in the car? Wow…the alibi is falling apart at the seams. Like I said…we need to wait for the league ruling before ripping apart the commish.
June 21st, 2018 at 9:58 pm
Tom Jones is a hack who always goes to the negative. Only way he keeps his print media job. Thank God he is no longer a radio host. Would make me listen to BSPN
Take the suspension, learn from the mistake, and move on.
June 21st, 2018 at 10:07 pm
Can you actually blame Jones. We were told this crap will never come from Winston ever again and here we are. The red flags were there in the beginning and Winston didn’t disappoint. Take that back, the biggest disappointment ever. No matter how much Joe tries to make excuses and deny his sexual misconduct, Joe doesn’t fk’n know so quit trying to make it like Goodell is out to get Winston. The FACE of the franchise my @ss. America’s QB my @ss.
June 21st, 2018 at 10:08 pm
Finally Jones makes snse

always been a jameis fan, but this isn’t good. not sure if you all heard another report, but apparently darby WAS NOT in the car at the time.
June 21st, 2018 at 10:22 pm
@ I Bleed Pewter
Yep, from what I recall in the lead up to the 2015 draft Winston had personally told the Glazer boys face-to-face that they would never have to worry about his off-field conduct if they drafted him. Boy, I know I’m still pissed at the Glazers for taking Winston over Mariota, but they are professionals in their own right as billionaires, so I can’t imagine they’ve forgotten what Winston promised them, and for that matter, what Jason Licht told the Glazers when he explained his decision to draft Winston to them.
June 21st, 2018 at 10:26 pm
GM Licht was crucified for moving up to pick Roberto Aguayo. Can you imagine what the reaction will be if the team moves on from JW? The kiss of death will be if the Glazers give him a contract extension! They love paying players not to play, coaches not to coach, and GMs not to well…GM. #PaidFloridaVacation #GlazerLootIsTheBest

No but being accused multiple times of sexual assault usually equals creep. Or are you pushing that it’s a conspiracy of money grubbing women theory? I’m betting a good portion of the Buc’s fans side with Jones and really don’t want a sleezeball (alleged) on the team.
June 21st, 2018 at 10:43 pm
And you don’t think Gru had an inkling this might be in the wind? And if Jameis isn’t the franchise QB, Gru would have been left in the same situation he was when he left…without a QB, and a Defense that wasn’t nearly what it was in 2000. When Oakland offered him that huge deal, and with this in the wind, how could he refuse?

I guess Jones knows more then we do to call him that. Yet he don’t have the made to spit it out. Since the truth never comes to light in most of these NFL suspensions I’m calling BS on Jones, who has never supported Winston since day 1.
June 21st, 2018 at 11:05 pm
Tom Jones, may the bird of paradise fly up your nose….
June 21st, 2018 at 11:26 pm
Oh wait now I read the Rick Stroud article. Jamies wasn’t suspemnded for reporting to the NFL. The league is suspending Winston because they proved he grabbed crotch.
Maybe some info may come out after all.
June 21st, 2018 at 11:38 pm
Tom Jones has done nothing but hate on Jameis since we drafted him. In fact, he’s been hating on the team nonstop for years. It would not surprise me if he is one of the troll we are cursed with her.
I don’t for a second believe Jameis is guilty, and I was one of the people who did not want us to draft him originally.
In fact, before he was drafted, I even predicted that the off season following his rookie year would be the most dangerous…and that’s when this accusation was made.
But even so…I think he is innocent and this suspension is all about bad publicity. You can bet Goodell shared the results of his investigation with the team, and if he had found any reason to suspect one iota of guilt, he would have suspended Jameis for 8-12 games instead of three.
This suspension was going to happen no matter the results of the investigation. Florio is suggesting Goodell made a deal with Jameis…don’t appeal and you’ll only get hit with 3 games. Raise a stink and we’ll double it.
June 21st, 2018 at 11:45 pm
To issue a statement denying any wrongdoing and claim the gal didn’t know who was in the car….That’s the worst part. People can deal with a screw up but to blatantly lie as the face of a franchise…The guy isn’t right in the head.
June 22nd, 2018 at 12:02 am
Anybody ever think that this could all be a conspiracy and that another team planted the seed of accusations trying to stimulate over reaction by people like Tom Jones in hopes that we run our franchise QB out of town so they can have our QB to win Superbowls with? Who knows if this Uber driver was paid to set this thing all up from the get go from someone on another team…You all might think I’m crazy but this type of stuff happens all the time in the NFL just look at the draft. Get your heads out of the sand and always trust the other person until proven guilty. We lean to much towards the bad in people vs. the good. We have no facts in this case other then his Uber account was suspended and he is being POSSIBLY punished for failing to report when the rule wasn’t even in place at the time of incident. Complete crock of crap! I’m so annoyed I’m thinking about using my own lawyer against the NFL. Their is a hidden agenda behind all of this For all the wrong reasons and I’m tired of it.
June 22nd, 2018 at 12:11 am
My Baby didnt do nuffin !
June 22nd, 2018 at 12:19 am
Yeah I make sure to never give Jones one click of a link. All he does is hate on Jameis (like when he railed Jameis for misspeaking while talking to kids) and never writes about his positives. Jameis is not perfect, not by any stretch because no one is.
Do I think Jameis is guilty? Not in the slightest. Not even a 1% chance in my opinion.
From what i understand he is being suspended for failing to report. Again, failing to report within a time frame. Why didn’t he report? HellIfIKnow, but this is no way means he is suspended for sexual assault.
Its like some of you couldn’t come here fast enough to say how you were right about Jameis and he is a scumbag. Almost like you all hope he sexually assaulted a female just so you can say you were right about him.
I have been a Buc fan for a loooong time but if no proof comes out saying he did it and they get rid of Winston, I will have to reconsider wth this ownership is doing and possibly find a new interim team until ownership changes.
June 22nd, 2018 at 12:35 am
Is there any doubt that his FSU conduct is a aggravating factor here? If we all agree with that, then we should also conclude that picking a guy with that baggage No 1 overall, annointing him the starter and team leader, forcing him down the fanbase’s throat was all a colossal mistake. As was calling him “America’s Quarterback” and being in the tank for a guy with such poor decision making.
June 22nd, 2018 at 12:37 am
I agree we need to cut Jameis he will not get it done he is a F’up he will continue go let this team down we should have drafted Marcus smh if the organization listens to the fan Jameis would be in Tennessee im just so sick of us drafting these dumb mentalQB’s we draft nothing but failures at the position and honestly NO MORE BLACK QB’s in tampa …..and im a black guy idgaf no more Freeman now this dipish Winston smh we have to release him and get ready to choose one with the 1st pick in the draft….n he just lost out on millions……..MATTER A FACT WE SHOULD TRADE WINSTON AND NEXT YEAR 1ST ROUND FOR NICK FOLES 💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯
June 22nd, 2018 at 1:11 am
It is no way a guaranteed that Winston is guilty of assaulting that woman. There are some women out there with no scruples that would make up a story for a pay day, and it is very dangerous for Tom Jones or anyone else to automatically believe the accusers without due process.
If Winston is indeed guilty of assaulting her, then 3 games seems like a very light punishment. And if he is only being punished for not reporting the incident, then 3 games seems excessive and I would expect it to be reduced.
June 22nd, 2018 at 4:12 am
First off, Jones is not a journalist. (Sorry if this offends you Joe, I’ve been reprimanded for calling out “journalists” before) Jones has a history of making outlandish opinion based statements designed to generate huge emotion. This is his schtick. I don’t read anything he writes, but if any of you do, I suggest investing time to investigate his suppositions.
Second, I suggest everyone hold their judgement until all of the facts are revealed. All of this is leaked info. (is this always 100% correct) There will be plenty of time to come to educated judgements in the near future. I see people every day who make rash decisions without all facts. Some level of supposition will take place for sure but too much is “leaked” or reading between the lines.
June 22nd, 2018 at 7:19 am
I still don’t know any of the details. Some of you suggested the Bucs take a QB in the first three rounds. I didn’t think that was an absurd idea then, and I still don’t now.
I think Jameis is capable of great things but you can’t take that proverbial next step if you are suspended. At this very moment I tend to agree with Tom Jones but I don’t feel very strongly about that. It seems Tom has had it in for Jameis since day one.
June 22nd, 2018 at 7:37 am
Tom Jones is basically a media troll, he lobs stuff out there to evoke a response and put his mug and pie-hole on the map. The guy is thoroughly negative about everything in Tampa from the Bucs, Rays, Bolts (Jones seemed to have had a man crush on the Boston Bruins if memory serves me right) to USF and even hates the gators and Noles. I think he is a Pittsburgh homer. Seems to me that the NFL is suspending him 3 games for not reporting the alleged incident and Jones is merely using this opportunity to bring out all the hate and venom that makes him such a negative spineless troll. Heck, he’d probably be the first to say give JW a second chance if this happened on his Pittsburgh Steelers and I suspect a lot of the negative posts and threads that are coming out calling for Winston’s release are by fans of other teams who would gladly have Winston as their QB. Jeez I never heard anyone calling to release one Ezekial Elliot, though his suspension was for 6 games…. For the record, Tom Jones is a below average hack who never could hold a candle to much more talented Tampa journalists from Tom McEwan to Ira K at the Trib and Hubie Mizell at the Times; it a shame how low the bar has gotten at the only daily fishwrap left in Tampa.
June 22nd, 2018 at 7:57 am
Tom Jones may suck but JW doesn’t seem to be very good at accuracy, turnovers, wins and character choices. Further, what is worse is seemingly not getting any better. After 3 years, any real improvement? discouraging.
June 22nd, 2018 at 8:17 am

Joe….”guilty of poor judgment”?? POOR JUDGMENT??? That’s like saying OJ Simpson or Kellen Winslow were guilty of “poor judgment”….Hell, aren’t ALL criminals guilty of “poor judgment”??? Get the hell outta here with that crapola!!!
June 22nd, 2018 at 9:10 am
If Jameis can’t find a way to hit the long ball, or cut down on the turnovers, this bit of news isn’t going to help his case to get another contract. Seriously, how can the Bucs give him another deal when he clearly is not even a top 15 QB right now? Post a losing season and you can bet good cash money heads will roll and maybe the next coach won’t be that keen to take on a QB that isn’t progressing.
June 22nd, 2018 at 9:37 am
Coming from the same person that wanted the Bucs to draft Johnny football and pay Freeman $100 mil….. pass on anything this clown says. Maybe Tom should be the one that gets dumped.

He got 6 games and negotiated it to 3. There will be no appeal and NFL avoids this dragging out during season.
interesting……

Tom Jones is doing what someone needs to do- publically call into question the team’s position regarding its franchise QB in relation to the latest- in a very long line of poor decision-making off the field. We should all hope the team legitimately assesses whether the “face of the franchise” is simply an epic buffoon or a young man unable to control his impulses. It’s far to easy to be a Jameis apologist or to call out these women as untruthful money-grubbers. It’s harder to look at the totality of his behavior in the context of today’s #metoo climate and not wonder if there’s something more here- evidentiary or even clinically. I’m not saying cut Jameis today. I’m saying someone at One Buc should be taking a hard look at what the NFL has and re-reviewing their own pre-draft notes/post-draft assessment of his behavior through a legitimate and appropriate lens beyond wins/losses on the field.

Tom Jones is a stooge. Big on opinions and light on thoughts or analysis.

Look at all the problems real ones and stupid decisions he made while at Florida State. He should have been thrown out then. A leopard does not change his spots. He is clearly engaging in the same type of stupid Winston behavior. Bucks should have known this when they drafted him. I thought they did. Where was his fulltime babysitter they hired for just such behavior. Cut times get a quarterback with moral and an arm

Lovey smith screwed us with picking winston, said before, during and after the draft. Believed it so much that i wrote each Glazer to draft mariota. Winston will be here for the next 3 to 4 years and be gone. Another sad buc draft story

The Bucs are great! I’m still waiting for that headline.

Tom Jones is a Pittsburgh fanboy, he’s never liked the Bucs and it shows in almost every article he writes about the Bucs. I’m curious if he had the same stance on Ben Roethlisberger when he was accused of sexual assault.

I told you Winston is a bummmm. I gave him two years and he would be gone but it might be sooner than that !!! I was hoping the Buc’s would have taken Mariotta , should have !!! Buc’s will be looking for another q/b soon …….

Tom Jones, the Ultimate Grandstander who will write whatever he feels will sell the most newspapers, period

Dear FSU faithful, Truth hurts sometimes. Cmon none of you ac1tually believed he was going to be special, or did you?
Time to move on from this $hit show, draft the signal caller of the future next draft.
