Could Winston be this years version of Matt Stafford.

I'll deny it... When put into context... he had one great game, one bad game, and a hand full of games where he was mediocre / below average, and held back by Sean to minimize turnovers... Then he was out for the season. The bottom line is... we have no idea what we have with JW right now... All we have is hope that he doesn't shirt the bed with an otherwise stacked team. We were bottom ranked in nearly every offense passing category when he started last year... I give him credit for not turning the ball over., and hitting his "lay ups" in the few red zone opportunities we had.... but realistically, if we want to be a SB contender (like the rest of the roster suggests we are)... He's going to have to be more than a game manger that doesn't turn the ball over... He's going to have to put the team on his back at times.. In the biggest moment, with the most at stake... and "go win it"... I haven't seen anything close to that out of him... so yeah, I'll deny until I see it.
The problem with this stance is you disregard last season saying that while he was efficient, he didn't do enough but then also disregarding him leading the league in yards and #2 in TDs in 2019 because interceptions. As a Buc, dude averaged 274 yards a game. It's pretty much safe to assume that he had little to do with us being ranked at the bottom of offensive categories. haha. Pete Carmichael is going to build the offense around his strengths. If he fails or succeeds, so be it but let's just sit back and enjoy what is becoming of the 2022 season.

And it's funny that you bring up game manager when that's the role Tom Brady played during the playoffs on the Bucs road to a Super Bowl..lol.
