DCOrange Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I imagine Jameis will settle for a 1 year deal as a backup. He's absolutely a starting caliber QB though. But the teams that realistically want new QBs right now are looking more for someone that can just take care of the ball and keep the offense on schedule. Jameis hasn't shown the ability to do that; what he has shown is that he can put a lot of points on the board (yes, for his opponents sometimes, but Tampa's offenses have been great with him at the helm). I'd say he's roughly the same tier of QB right now as Allen, but obviously very different risk-reward profiles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Some opinions are from people who haven’t watched him like myself and other Tampa residents where he killed games with pic 6’s. He’s a back up and no issues, but he had a good o line, not great and probably the best skilled offensive players in the nfl and still threw this many pics. He’s not a starting QB. He had five years. You think he should back up Big Ben or another team, I understand, but I’m skeptical he can ever be a starter. It’s not like he didn’t have decent offensive minds in Arians, Cutter, and so on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in some ways David has a point. I don’t think any NFL team goes after him to be honest, hasn’t really shown that’s he’s capable of being a starting QB in the NFL, especially after last year being a disaster for him Yes, he had 30 INT's last year, but he also threw for 5,000 yards and 30 TD's. People seem to overlook those facts. That's starting talent. Jameis will be somewhere, but he'll have to be a backup for a little while until/if he gets a chance to compete for a starting job, probably with some poor team.

This is true. But he is STILL a better QB than David Carr ever was. Oh and as for him being a starter v a backup.... if Tyrod Taylor is an NFL starting QB then Jameis definitely is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills didn't have Allen would you want Winston? I know I wouldn't. The upside is just not there. He is what he is at this point imo. I noticed he only has 7 4th qtr comebacks in 70 starts. Josh has 6 in 27. His record as a starter is 28-42. He's not eating enough Ws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: In Winston's worst year he threw more touchdown's than David Carr's best year. Winston threw more tds than ints every year in Tampa. Carr managed that only three times in Houston. Yes. Winston is a much better QB than Carr ever was. but how does that change that it’s a goofy drill to be running and that jameis may be in need of a change from his JV trainer as he’s on a bad trajectory and never had a rep of surrounding himself with winners. in the last few weeks we’ve seen him pushing a car and doing this. Would we be thrilled if these were are looks into joshs training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB- Agreed, but remember David Carr had the worst O Line probably in history as he was getting killed over and over again. I’m not into the defending Carr thing, but Winston did have at least the last couple of years a decent line and still threw a ton of pics. Good point on Tyrod, but he really isn’t a starting QB as we all know. He’s a very good back up. That’s it. I’m betting Lynn does not start him whenever we have a season. I’ll take him as a backup as well as Winston anytime, as they are good for that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year it was something: 1) David Carr needs a better line (then he gets one) 2) David Carr needs a true #1 WR (he gets one) 3) Davis Carr needs a great running game (he gets one) 4) Davis Carr needs a much better no. 2 receiving option (he gets one). 5) David Carr needs a great pass-catching TE (he gets one). At a certain point, Surrounding a guy with all the talent in the world isn’t going to help a truly mediocre QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raiders got knocked out the 1st round though if I remember correctly. 2016 Derek Carr broke his leg and did not play. Ironically Raiders lost to Texans, David's former team. Raiders had a great chance to win if Carr plays as Brock Osweiler was Texans QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 3 hours ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Did you know this? Peyton Manning threw 100 INTs his 1st 5 years in the NFL? 23 his 4th year. Winston has thrown 88. Manning only threw 53 INTs the next 5 years. True but misleading. Manning threw his largest number of INTs his first season, 3 of the 4 seasons afterwards significantly better TD/INT ratio. This past, 5th season was Winston’s worst. He threw 33 TD, but his INTs soared to 30. It’s the fact that he seems to be struggling to play productively while taking care of the football after 5 seasons that is of more concern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Noggin Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I mean...that particular drill DOES look effing useless. About as useless as David Carr's analysis. And like Carr himself said: "two things can be true." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 6 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: Sure he had a crazy year last season, but he has 20k yards and 121 TDs in 70 starts. In the NFL, that's a starting QB easily. It's the fumbles, interceptions, and off the field stupidity that cost him his job and makes other teams uninterested in him. When his supporters quote his stats, they need to look at the whole picture. Turnovers lose games and Jameis cost his team a ton of games. His four year history has him without a job. Teams know who he is and what type of player he is. He is certainly better than many backup QB's and can have a long career if he chooses to take that kind of job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Winston is awful and better suited for Canadian football or the WWE than the NFL. With that said Carr's criticism is childish and makes no sense, especially from a guy who had 0 success in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
