Jameis Winston Will have at Least 4500 yards and 35 Touchdowns

Jameis Winston is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw for 4000 yards in his first two seasons. Last season improving slightly from his rookie season of 4042 yards 22 touchdowns 58.3% completions and fifteen interceptions, to 4090 yards 28 touchdowns (Bucs record) 60.8% completions but with eighteen interceptions.

He ended up basically targeting three receivers last season in Mike Evans, Cameron Brate, and Adam Humphries who caught 58.8% (205/345) of his completions.

In games that the Buccaneers won Winston played better (obviously) completing 65.7% of his passes for 2298 yards fifteen touchdowns and six interceptions with a 99.4 QB rating. In games the Bucs lost he played worse completed 56% of his passes for 1792 yards thirteen touchdowns and twelve interceptions with a 73 QB rating and he was sacked twenty times.

With the added weapons of DeSean Jackson through free agency, tight end OJ Howard, wide receiver Chris Godwin, and even pass catching running back Jeremy McNichols through the draft. Winston should have no problem adding another 500 plus passing yards and potentially ten touchdowns on to his totals from last season giving him at least 4500 yards and 35-40 touchdowns.
