A do-over on Winston/Mariota? In a heartbeat!!!

i always thought bucs picked Winston to help fill the stadium..Mariota beat Winston on EVERY category at the nfl combine. Also the bucs two greatest coaches (Gruden,Dungy}wanted Mariota over Winston but Licht made the choice.. will never understand.

It’s clear now, outside the bubble, that Mariota would have been the better choice, but that was not the ONLY choice. The Bucs could have drafted a running back or defensive end (sacks?), swapped their number one pic for a bunch of high picks, and added any number of promising young QBs that have surfaced over the last three years…

I’ll stay with Winston, he has been more impressive with a lousy offensive line and no running game. He will continue to prove he was the right choice if he can stay clean off the field, on the field unquestionably the better QB.

Winston is and has been the better of the two. It’s too bad he screwed up because no one really cares anymore. I would still take Winston but that’s in the hope that he hasn’t done anything else. Problem is , the Bucs may not know until it is too late!

I’ll retake JW 10 times over and over and over
No question. Marriotta had everything JW didn’t have and didn’t rise much

Are there still really morons saying they’d have taken Mariota? LOL! Talk about low IQ dolts that don’t know a thing about football.

Sometime as pure football fans we forget that NFL is a brand and a business first. Please know my comments are stemming from a football junkie especially when it comes to (x’sand o’s) I’ve always knew Jameis was the better talent but not the better player or leader that Mariota is. Time always reveals everything, I just would have taken the clean player that I knew had no off the field issues. Bottom line, when it comes to Qb’s the only thing that matters is wins and losses. Thus far Mariota has taken his team to the playoffs and Jameis hasn’t.
