N/S Gotta feel bad for Jameis Winston (1 Viewer)

[Bill]

Jameis is a good dude with a lot of physical skills. But today just didn’t go well for him at home in Cleveland. 16 for 25 passing with 3 interceptions. He was benched in the 4th quarter in a game that wasn’t yet out of reach. He’s trying to, but it ain’t working. I can’t help but wonder if this is his last opportunity to be a starter in the NFL. The clock is certainly ticking.

This wasn’t an opportunity to be a starter. He’s playing for an injured starter. He plays like a backup on a bad team. He can do that job for the next decade for $4-5 million a year as one of the top 64 QBs in the world, but he’s just not top 32.

 

[longtime lurker]

He will kick around the NFL for the next 5 seasons at least and end up in the $100s of million dollars range earned. I bet he’s having the time of his life and props to him.

He's the funniest guy in the league on the funniest franchise in the league. If there's anyone taking it in stride it's Jameis Winston. They'll never make me hate you Jameis

 

[Infoman]

He is who I said he was years ago…. I don’t feel bad for him. As others have said.... He’s a good guy and he’s going to make a good living being a backup somewhere.

 

[Wisco Steve]

He's an excellent backup because he is so good to have in a locker room and he can come into a game or start a couple games in a pinch and deliver/ignite an offense...but as a starter he ends up getting exposed. He can stay in the league as long as he chooses to.

I really like DTR, and have high hopes for him. It’s unfortunate that it’s taking Jameis’ benching for the world to see what he can do, but like Rattler and Heaner, there opportunity to showcase their talent has to come at someone’s expense.

 

[rlemieux]

I don’t feel bad for him. He’s a millionaire and he created his own path. He makes boneheaded decisions. It’s who he is.

 

[Jesse Custer]

I don't. Jameis is making bank, he's building up his post-football career to be a color commentator in the WWE, and it's looking like the only kind of coach who can get him to play to his full potential has to be a borderline Hall of Famer.

 

[saintfan1972]

He threw a lot of picks in college and it hasn't stopped in the NFL. He will always be a interception machine.

 

[efil4stnias]

At this point, he has seen every single defensive scheme known. Many times over. Apparently it's not skill, but memorization and recall that he struggles with, which is what makes QBs elite. Those able to recall and visualize.

He may not have that elite ability. But he will still perform well over a 3 or 4 game span which will earn him a great living for another 5 years or so.

 

[fnholmes]

I am glad we let him go. I love that he matured under Brees but he has a better chance in Cleveland.

He should sign with the Dolphins on the cheap. He could wind up starting on a good team after one play.

Truth.
