The Buccaneers know they have a big decision to make on quarterback Jameis Winston after this season.

The title of the article had me laughing so I decided to post. Y'all think they're going to keep Winston if he doesn't make a big jump this year? I wish they'd have included the TD numbers for those QB's who had similar INT #'s for their first four years though.TD/INT ratio is pretty important when assessing INT's.The Buccaneers know they have a big decision to make on quarterback Jameis Winston after this season.
But before they get to the big numbers in a possible second contract, they have to see if they can push through the big numbers on the back of Winston’s football card.
Specifically, new quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen told Albert Breer of SI.com that he wasn’t scared by Winston’s 58 interceptions in his first four seasons.
Christensen did some quick googling, and pointed out that Peyton Manning thew 81 picks his first four seasons, that Andrew Luck threw 55, and Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford threw 54 each.
“Your first four years, you throw a bunch of interceptions,” Christensen said. “Almost all of them did. [Matt] Ryan had less, but they ran the ball in Atlanta, he went to a little bit better football team. But you look at all the numbers, [Winston] had thrown for 14,000 yards. I just hadn’t seen [the Bucs] on TV and they hadn’t won.
