Bucs undaunted by Winston's picks, as long as he stops throwing them

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.

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.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

 

[bonnjer]

Yeah, that's the thing with INT's. They're just fine and dandy until you start throwing a bunch of em. Awesome title.

We are good with him sucking as long as he stops sucking. HAHA

 

[mikaloyd]

even crabs feel sorry for him these days

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

That's like saying you feel undaunted by Sharper's raping as long as he stops raping people.

 

[B-Train]

Good work if you can get it.

The Saints are undaunted with Terron Armstead’s injuries, as long as he stays healthy.

I'm actually hoping that Arians helps Winston have a good enough season that the Bucs front office can talk themselves into giving him a mega deal. Winston will inevitably regress and the Bucs will have sold the farm to keep a knucklehead.

One thing about the post Brees era that looks like it's going to help the Saints is that other teams in the NFC South could have albatross contracts holding them back. The falcons entire offense, probably Cam, perhaps Winston, etc. I hope these teams keep throwing money at their current corp group of players instead of rebuilding.
