    The Epic Season Of Jameis Winston

    There is merely terrible QB play from Duck

    Then there is this - truly a season for the ages

    Jameis Winston’s Horrible, Beautiful Record


    Jameis Winston died as he lived. Of course, he lived by dumping barrels of kerosene over himself and jumping into fire pits. When you live like that, you sort of expect to die like that....

    Winston had the potential to make history in Week 17. Not only could he become the eighth quarterback ever to throw for 5,000 yards in a season—a good record!—but he could become the first quarterback ever to have 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in the same season, and the first quarterback with 30 interceptions in a season since 1988—not exactly great records.

    Winston hit 5,000 yards without much trouble, passing that mark in the second quarter. But he spent most of the game stuck on 29 interceptions. I was worried. Did Winston not realize that he was on the cusp of history?

    Of course, there was no need to fear. Winston threw his 30th interception of the year in the most dramatic fashion possible. When the game went to overtime, Winston ensured that his first pass of the extra session would be the last pass of his season by throwing a game-ending pick-six

    Winston didn’t just hit the 30-30 mark with the pick—he also set the all-time single-season record for pick-sixes in a season with his seventh.

    Plenty of guys like this (and much, much worse) starting for teams on an annual basis in the NFL, yet people expect the Steelers' roster to somehow be 3-deep with quality QBs.

    That JAMEIS WINSTON is throwing for more yards than Marino's career best is a real bellwether for just how warped this era of the game is.

    MATT RYAN among the top 10 passers of all time! What a joke.

    It's like Major League Baseball moved all the fences in by 100 feet, changed it from three strikes to six, made each team play with three infielders and two outfielders, and said it's still baseball, not mini-baseball, and all the records are the same. New batting average record is .700? No biggie. Some random scrub hits 250 home runs in a season? Clearly it's because all the new players are SO GREAT - omg look, he's the goat! Just ignore it and think of all the INSANE fantasy stats they get you!

    I realize I must sound like a crotchety old man, but this type of shit really is bad for the game.
    See you Space Cowboy ...

    Arians on not feeling the love for Jameis along with some characteristic don’t blame BA comments for his QB playing recklessly all season

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians said little to inspire confidence that Winston will be back next year.

    When asked Monday if he believes the Bucs could win with another quarterback, Arians responded, "Another quarterback? Oh, yeah. [If] we can win with this one, we can definitely win with another one too. We're going to have this defense."...

    Arians said the Bucs weren't in position to bench Winston because of injuries and that he was given more slack despite his mistakes. Arians also indicated that should Winston return, he would be given less leeway.

    "A big part of it was [backup] Blaine [Gabbert]getting hurt, and we had to find out [if] this was the franchise [quarterback]. We had to find out," Arians said.

    Typical Arians offense. I do like how he threw his QB under the bus. Backed it up and tried again. We dodged a bullet by no hiring this guy as a a HC

    Arians is a good coach. He’ll turn the Bucs around in 20-21.

    Re: The Epic Season Of Jameis Winston

    Arians was right to say what he did. He's been trying to get this guy to protect the ball more, but he continues to ignore everything his coach has been working on with him. Arians was also responding to comments by Winston where he said he just needs to clean up his interceptions a bit, and he'll be the best....bar none. He says he's ballin'.

    That's what Arians was responding to when asked about it.

    Here's Jameis at the podium.

    He went 7-9 with the INT machine. Maybe they trade up and take Tua. Wouldn't surprise me for them to go with Winston again.
