Because the dislike that some have for Jameis is strong enough to the point that they now have to envision alternate realities where someone else was signed as the backup.
After Jameis started finding himself on the wrong end of unflattering news stories, there were only a handful of times that I ever pulled for whatever team he was QBing..........and typically that was only if I had money on the game. But when you watch a player enough times.........pulling for or against..........you start to notice some things.................and the things people say about his talent are true. Put me in the camp that believes Payton can help him turn it around.
