At the halfway point of the 2019 season, here is a deeper look at how Jameis Winston is performing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In today’s ComPewter Analysis, we take a look at where Jameis Winston stands halfway through the last year of his rookie deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With just eight games left in the season, Winston must prove to general manager Jason Licht and head coach Bruce Arians that he is worthy of a contract extension to stay with the pewter and red beyond this season.

So far we have seen just about the same consistency out of Winston that has been prevalent over the past four seasons: none. He has had two great games, a few decent games, and a handful of bad games as well. With a hard back half of the schedule, it will be interesting to see how Winston can finish the year after the Buccaneers have started the year with a record of 2-5.

Heading into the matchup at home against the Arizona Cardinals, Winston should be able to build off of his solid outing against the Seattle Seahawks, where he did not throw a single interception while tossing a couple of touchdowns as well. This is the type of performance that the Bucs need from Winston on a week-to-week basis if they want to succeed and if he wants a new deal.

Here is a deeper look at Winston and the numbers he has been able to post in this 2019 season.
