With Vincent Jackson on IR, where are the Buccaneers going to find the production?

More from The Pewter Plank

A veteran wide receiver can be a young quarterback’s best friend. That was the case when the Buccaneers drafted Jameis Winston. Unfortunately, Vincent Jackson has his first season with Winston cut short due to injury.

There was a lot of excitement heading into 2016 as “V Jax” returned from injury. He and Mike Evans were going to team up to take this offense to greater heights than they achieved in their record-setting 2015 campaign.

Unfortunately that was not to be, as Jackson was placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

Now, we have all seen the inconsistent work of the Bucs’ offense so far in 2016. To be fair, Jackson wasn’t great when healthy, only posting 15 catches and not registering a touchdown.

But, the fact of the matter is that they have to replace his production, whatever that production might be. Where is it going to come from? We went round the table to discuss the topic.

As always, one slide dedicated to each staff member.
