Is Jameis the real deal or not?
The handling of the Jameis Winston situation is less the fault of the front office, but still problematic. At his best days, Winston could be a top-ten quarterback in the league, and on his worst days, which happen at a similar frequency, he looks like a bottom ten quarterback. The Bucs are now in a ridiculously difficult situation of trying to figure out who will start for them under center in 2019.
The team seems to believe that Jameis is their guy, but unfortunately the numbers likely dispute that. A quarterback in their fifth year, who is still showing regression, is likely not a quarterback that will positively lead them in the future, although all signs now currently point to Jameis being the quarterback for next year.
All of these problems alone are no reason to start over. Alas, with the scenario the Bucs are in now, unless a full rebuild is attempted the team will remain in the grips of mediocrity for many years to come. The Bucs have an incredible run defense, great receivers, and a promising young running back, but these are not necessarily positions of need in the modern NFL.
