Jameis Watch: Backing From Bucs Icon
December 11th, 2014
Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, national champion James Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon and Josh McCown.
It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida.
So Jameis Winston is not NFL ready, you say? So Jameis Winston couldn’t play for the Bucs? Might want to rethink that.
It’s one thing for Joe to evaluate Winston, it’s another thing for a drunk at the bar to say it, but when a former NFL quarterback with a Super Bowl ring to his name claims Winston is NFL-ready, then Joe is listening.
That certain someone would be former Bucs and Crows quarterback Trent Dilfer. The man who left the Bucs to win a title in Baltimore is now better known as a talking head on BSPN. He Twittered Joe the other day that Winston was so far ahead of any quarterback in the 2015 draft it was not even close.
Below are a couple of recent Twitter posting Dilfer had about Winston.
Winston’s pocket mechanics, anticipation, tempo throws, ability to throw guys open, & competitive temperament >all other CFB QB’s! @Elite11

Jameis Winston has made too many early game mistakes, but he does #GraduateLevelQB stuff that NOBODY else in CFB even comprehends. @Elite11 — Trent Dilfer (@TDESPN) November 29, 2014
So who ya’ gonna believe, a guy who won a Super Bowl ring as a quarterback, or someone whose only experience on a football field is to mow the grass?

Line of the day JOE!

Put a baby sitter on him and he’ll be fine… once a week the sitter can return all the stuff he steals 😉

why this site continues to promote the insecure poodle is beyond me…all he does is alienate your reader base…I don’t know about you but I’m not his b****h…do you hear him today?…
yo joe buce fan readers the big dog thinks you’re all suckers….
December 11th, 2014 at 4:31 pm
The Big Dog has spoken. He is going to keep his foot on JoeBucsFan for it’s support of Mike Glennon and the MG mob. I did’nt know there was much support.
December 11th, 2014 at 4:35 pm
Guy is not a top 5 pick. 22-17 ratio on an elite team is terrible. There are no top level qb’s in this draft so everyone will be pushed up. Please pass on him bucs.
December 11th, 2014 at 4:37 pm
Winston is clearly the best qb in CFB right now. I know he is immature but I can’t get RGIII and Colin Kapernick (sp) out of my head when I think about Mariota. I just don’t think he’s our guy.
Maybe he’d be awesome for Chip Kelly though. Chip Kelly is making Mark Sanchez look like a star lol.
Stay away from system qb’s bucs.
December 11th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
a thief and accused rapist for our new QB. YEAH!
December 11th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
sho-nuff …answer, because he’s going top 5 in the draft. It’s as simple as that and you better get used to him if they draft him. Which I think is a real possibility.
Same goes the rest of you haters, I mean Gators.
December 11th, 2014 at 4:59 pm
Once again 5 iof those INT’s were off tipped passes from his WR’s hands. STOP looking at the stat line. It’s idiotic if you’ve never watched any of the games all season.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:02 pm
We need to do everything possible to draft Jameis Winston.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
lol at Trent Dilfer being a Bucs icon. By default doesn’t that make Brad Johnson a Bucs Demigod?
December 11th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
Bucs icon? Dilfer?
December 11th, 2014 at 5:09 pm
It doesn’t matter who says it because nothing in life is certain nothing in the NFL is a sure bet except bucs finding a way to lose
December 11th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
Bucs Icon???….Pfft!!! The way Dilfer played during his career, he should have just been mowing the grass!
December 11th, 2014 at 5:17 pm
I’m with 87 we need a spark and excietment on this team and Jameis provides that
December 11th, 2014 at 5:18 pm
“Winston is clearly the best qb in CFB right now”
That’s like having to pick the best out of…a Hyundai, Yugo, Fiat, or Kia.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:20 pm
I have not seen the Oregon QB play yet, so the Rose Bowl with both QBs playing against teams ranked 2/3 should be a good test of the QBs but one thing that is not there and never will be is the off field behavior of both. Winston doesn’t come close to the other so far.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:23 pm
No sane GM is going to gamble his career to pick a player like Winston that can’t stay out of trouble.
December 11th, 2014 at 5:26 pm
#suckfortheduck #winnoneforwinston are both good with me.

Josh McCown the 5.5 million dollar babysitter…if that is what it takes…
December 11th, 2014 at 5:50 pm
Cam Newton is not a franchise QB, and I’m gonna be doing backflips when the Panthers give him an idiotic extension.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:00 pm
Man use your head! Any GM that hands Winson that multi million dollar (guaranteed)bonus is a complete idiot!
December 11th, 2014 at 6:01 pm
Crab legs for everyone at F S U
December 11th, 2014 at 6:10 pm
I didn’t have to listen to Dilfer to know that Winston makes to many mistakes.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:23 pm
Hey Joe remember this…..

December 11th, 2014 at 6:24 pm
If I only had a clue of what Lovie is thinking about the draft.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:24 pm
Dilfer was all about Mark Sancheez then too! Too funny!!!
December 11th, 2014 at 6:31 pm
Bucfan37
That’s what I think is funny is all these guys that think Lovie would even draft a QB with that pick. Lovie never drafted a QB that high. While in Chicago, he drafted the awesome QBs of Kyle Orton, Dan Lefevour, Nathan Enderle, and Craig Krenzel. Obviously, none were 1st round picks.
December 11th, 2014 at 6:52 pm
“There is really no franchise quarterback in this draft, even though Mariota could go No 1. He’s not Andrew Luck, he’s not in that elite-of-the-elite category. Could be really good? If you’re patient with him.” – Mel Kiper.
He also said Winstons off field issues basically keep him from being a franchise QB. So what I gather from pundits and fans is that no Winston even though he is head & shoulders above every other QB because of off field issues, crazy. So once Winston is drafted he will start smoking crack, beating women, killing people, become a locker room cancer, and hang out with Johnny Football. Ridiculous, just ridiculous
December 11th, 2014 at 6:55 pm
We need to draft a QB in the first round or lovie will not have a job going into 2016 drafting a young QB with promise buys him another year to build. If you don’t have a QB in the NFL your not going to win
December 11th, 2014 at 6:59 pm
I don’t know if I would ever consider Dilfer an Icon. Perfect example of how a Really Excellent Team that was well balanced made an Average at best QB a Super Bowl winner. If maybe Doug Williams or someone like that gives thoughtful analysis and an endorsement, I would accept it. Dilfer not so much. Let’s wait until the likes of Aikman, Bradshaw, Young amongst other REAL icons make some sort of statement or analysis before jumping the gun here. I still say Caveat Emptor.

People forget the level of competition Winston plays, it’s aweful. Against a poor sec team Florida he throws 4 of the worst pics you’ll ever see!
December 11th, 2014 at 7:52 pm
Bucnut, don’t you know anything Winston does is not his fault? He threw a ball 500 yds when he was a 5th grader….a 5th grader! He is awesome.
December 11th, 2014 at 8:03 pm
Well Winston is going to be a overrated bust in the nfl. Throwing windows are much tighter and he doesn’t have the maturity to put the time in. We draft him highly we set the franchise back 5 years. Think freeman!
December 11th, 2014 at 8:08 pm
Baseball threat would keep me from blowing a #1 on him. What are you going to do, take him at his word, like Publix?
December 11th, 2014 at 8:51 pm
I love how people can say he will be an overrated bust. Lol I’m not saying he is luck but what make you a pro scout? You Have no idea what he will be. He has a shot to be way better than the Quarterbacks we have now
December 11th, 2014 at 9:15 pm
I don’t think Winston will be a bust. He could be like Palmer or a serviceable back. Then again he could try hard and be very good in the NFL. I just don’t see it this year. He should seriously consider staying another year. If and that is a big if…but if they win another championship he will definitely come out and will get picked in the 1st round.
December 11th, 2014 at 10:32 pm
M & M (i.e. Vinny Testaverde) has no dawg in him whereas JW has dawg in him both on and off the field, fortunately and unfortunately…give me the on the field dawg with the hope that the off the field dawg grows up quickly.
December 11th, 2014 at 11:06 pm
Winston wins a Super Bowl within 3 years of entering the NFL. Mark it down.
December 11th, 2014 at 11:17 pm
Mariota sweeps the college awards and will take home a Heisman here soon. Next up…National Championship. How many people think OSU beat Bama? I hope they do, but Bama essentially has 2 home games with these playoffs.
December 11th, 2014 at 11:22 pm
Winston isn’t winning a superbowl in 3 years. Wilson won a superbowl, but if Luck can’t win a superbowl in 3 yrs….well, then there is no way that Winston does.
December 11th, 2014 at 11:44 pm
@Skyline
3 years. Remember where you heard it first.
OSU and Bama is going to be a good game. Check that a grrrreat game.
Mariota is going to run over FSU and I don’t expect the Noles to be able to keep up. I think the Noles lose bad in this one.
December 11th, 2014 at 11:50 pm
87′,
I have to wonder about OSU though. 3rd string QB did dominate Wisconsin, but this is the big stage and his 2nd game?. Going to loud as well. Remember pretty much a home game for Bama.
December 12th, 2014 at 12:49 am
I’d be fine with Mariota or Winston. Both can do it all. Mariota is more of a pocket passer than someone like RG3, they just design runs for him in college, so he does not scare me. Mariota would be my first choice just because he has the arm, maturity, skills, can scramble, etc….
Winston though, is capable of being an elite NFL QB. He showed that last year. This year he is starting slow every game but then getting better. Alot of distractions going on and yet still undefeated.
I would love a slight trade down for another high pick and get Winston if he tumbles a little.
Otherwise, take Mariota.
Either way, it is should a drastic improvement over what they have now so lets not get too bent out of shape over one or the other!!!!
December 12th, 2014 at 12:50 am
Lovie will draft linemen.
December 12th, 2014 at 12:51 am
SKYLINE—-
OSU does not stand a chnace against Bama. I don’t like either team, I just don’t see it.
The Ducks vs FSU is the title game IMO
I think Ducks win it all
December 12th, 2014 at 12:55 am
Howard Cosell…NOT if the Glazers have anything to say about it.
December 12th, 2014 at 1:00 am
I’ve come over to the dark side.
I want to draft a QB too, but Lovie will draft linemen.
I am a lineman for the bucs team
and I drive the play home
searchin in the trenches for another open hole

* Unfinished Business…What happens when casual conversation becomes serious? *
Based off Previous Reports, and the current injury situation Arizona with Arizona’s quaterbacks Palmer & Stanton. Could Licht & Keim rekindle talks concerning a possible Glennon trade?
Previous Reports….
Wed, Apr 24, 2013
*Source: NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah on Twitter
*Source: ESPN’s Chris Mortensen stated on NFL 32
• Tuesday that he believes the Cardinals are targeting NC State QB Mike Glennon in April’s draft. Previous rumors linked the Cardinals to Matt Barkley, but Barkley’s weak arm would be a poor fit in Bruce Arians’ scheme. Glennon has a cannon.
*Source: Yahoo’s Mike Silver
• Confirms the Cardinals still have “some interest” in NC State QB Mike Glennon despite the additions of Drew Stanton and Carson Palmer. Palmer isn’t a long-term solution at age 33, and Stanton is a career backup, even if Bruce Arians loves him. Glennon would give Arizona a potential long-term franchise quarterback. Despite the Cardinals’ flurry of signal-caller movement, they shouldn’t be ruled out as a likely destination for early-round passers. They’re just not going to draft one with the seventh overall pick.
*Source: Jason Licht talked to Fox Sports 910 in Arizona
Mentioned that they had had some “casual conversations” about trading Mike Glennon to the Arizona Cardinals, where Jason Licht worked last year under general manager Steve Keim.

Who knows, we might be able to get a 3rd pick for the kid.

@ LUVMYBUCS
that’s awesome. a real true buc fan but don’t see anyone giving up a third rounder after seeing this guy place, if they do it would be even better then the heist Dominick pulled on Chicago twice
