TRENDS: JAMEIS WINSTON’S DEEP BALL ACCURACY

MISSING THE WIDE OPEN RECEIVER DEEP DOWN THE FIELD

One of the struggles that Winston has faced throughout his career is the inaccuracy of his deep passes (a pass that travels over 15 yards in the air) a lot of times overthrowing wide open receiver down field, and so far those struggles do not appear to have improved this season.

Next: Bucs to Watch Against the Cardinals

He has attempted 40 deep passes in the first four games of the season but has only completed fourteen of them or 38% which is about ten points less than the NFL average and obviously is not good. Now granted he has 368 yards on those fifteen completions for a 24.5 yard average and three of his seven touchdowns, but he also two of his three interceptions on the deep pass.
Since all of his interceptions came in the Vikings game in the games where he has not thrown interceptions he still has only completed 10 of 30 deep passes for 33%.

He needs to be better at hitting the deep receiver who is open and turn those into touchdowns instead of drive killers but it may be tough to do since he has struggled with it during his career.
These are all of my “Extra Points” comparing what the Buccaneers did better or worse compared to the week three win against the Giants and the week four loss to the Patriots, and some trends for the Buccaneers that I have noticed so far during this first quarter of the season.

So StickCarriers now you tell me what you think that Buccaneers did better or worse between the week three win and the week four loss, did I miss anything or what trends have you noticed so far this season?
