Preseason 1 Report Card

Throwing a TD doesn't mean it was a better throw. That's like grading a QB based on wins to me. Semantics that ignore actual evaluation. Taysom's rolling to the right throw was the best of the game. Winston's TD throw was nice as well but doesn't grade better. Over time those stats can even out with performance but in a single game setting like this just grade each throw.

Based roughly on memory they are even to me. A handful of off-target ugly throws and some nice pretty throws. Think Taysom should do more on his sack and didn't like Jameis's happy feet on his first sack. I'd have to go back play by play and count it up to see who actually did better. It was that close.

I'm not as high on Book's performance. I would have given him a C-. Of course thats understanding he was in a pretty rough situation. The team fell apart in the second half and it was his first action.
It's a more important outcome, just like an interception. That's not semantics. Quarterbacks get judged on touchdowns and interceptions the last time I checked and Jameis was the only guy that had one. Yes, it was a nice throw but you overlook Jameis's ability to go through his progressions and throw a nice pass for the TD. Jameis can make all the throws we already know that it's his decision making people question. Taysom almost had 2 picks but no one mentions that. I agree we are talking about quarters and not the whole game but that's all we have for now.
