Quarterback: C-

Jameis Winston, to me, is the epitome of up and down. When he is good, oh wow he is good. Jameis has been terrific against Atlanta for his career, and he continued that in week one of 2016. That day he threw for four touchdowns and completed over 70% of his passes. Winston has been just sensational when the Falcons are on the other side of the line of scrimmage.

The problem is that against the rest of the league, he hasn’t been good. Winston has a problem with being accurate on a consistent basis. We looked at this problem this week in the report from the “Eye in the Sky“, and it is preventing Winston from taking that next step. Take out the Falcons game and he has thrown four touchdowns versus seven interceptions.

Not good, simply not good.
