Chandler#81 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Surprising. I know it’s been rumored, but Winston is a bon fire waiting to explode. Typically, this is a coach killer. Anyway, better Tampa than MIA or NYJ. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay_Fixit Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I’m higher on Winston than most. Dude can sling it. He just needs to “not” sling it to the wrong team at times. Arians was huge for Carson Palmer. I assume he’ll do the same for Jameis. Plus outside of Sam Jackson, nobody can rock the Kangol like Arians. And outside of those two, you definitely put sack in your mouth if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenna Laine ESPN Staff Writer 12/31/18 TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht doesn't care if his head-coaching candidates are offensive-minded or defensive-minded. He isn't worried what scheme they will use, or even if the Bucs have to wait until after the playoffs to make a hire. One thing is for certain, however: Whoever replaces Dirk Koetter must accept Jameis Winston as his quarterback. The Bucs will be picking up Winston's fifth-year option, worth $20.9 million. That becomes fully guaranteed at 4 p.m. ET on March 13. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Arians is one of the few coaches who can come in and overnight change your team into a top ten scoring team. Winston should easily have his best year next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 I've always liked Arians and he has gotten the absolute best out of every QB he's had. If anyone can transform Winston it is Arians. I bet Arians also convinces Jackson to hang around. It may possibly be the best receiving group he's ever coached as well with Evans, Jackson, Godwin, OJ Howard, and Brate. The offense should be sick, especially if he finds his type of RB. Bowles to coach that defense will be interesting as well. They have a good draft or two and this team will be right there in the NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tampa wants to get rid of DeSean regardless of if he buys in with Arians or not. I don't think either the player or the team are happy with him being there. They'd probably rather use that cap money to re-sign Adam Humphries but they might just let both of them go since they have Evans, Godwin, OJ Howard, and Brate if they keep him.

whatdrought Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 TB has great weapons. Winston is meh, but Arians could make it work. There are also some decent pieces that could come available that could upgrade the position. Defense needs serious helps, but Bowles is a good hire.

Victory Formation Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 That coaching staff is actually not bad. I think Winston can be a nice QB but not good enough to ever really accomplish something meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I remember when our kicker was Arians and our punter was Moorman. That was weird. Found it kind of strange that Jake didn't go into coaching. According to the interwebs, he's in the real estate game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I love this move and the staff he is trying to put together - I think is legit. I just am not sure the QB and the team is the best fit, but I think they will be much better than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucs traded a 6th round pick to Arizona for a 7th round pick and the rights to Arians. 41 minutes ago, MrEpsYtown said: I'm getting ready to pilfer their defense as they got from a 4-3 to a 3-4. You can probably have Gerald McCoy, Vinny Curry, and maybe Jason Pierre-Paul if you're lucky.

Had they picked up his option when he retired, they would still have his rights, but they declined to do it and he was a FA, thought I read somewhere they said the Bucs didn't ask for any permission from the Cards This makes me wonder how bad things are in Arizona? Seems like the health concerns weren't as bad as they first made them out to be and maybe just a way to get out of there. His retirement lasted one season and he didn't have to be coaxed out of retirement, he was talking about wanting openings before the season ended.
