After a season full of ups and downs for Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston the secret to his finding success has finally been uncovered.

Jameis Winston is a true enigma at quarterback for the Buccaneers. Winston’s entire fanbase and likely most of his front office are divided both on him as a player and on his future in Tampa Bay. This season has done little to give either side an edge in their argument, but it has become clear that Jameis does have his moments both as an elite talent and one that is much closer to that of a backup.

In a contract year for Winston the hope was that he would play at a level that would either lead to him receiving an extension or being cut from the team, but in the end it is still the most likely outcome that he gets the franchise tag and another year to grow under Arians before a big decision is made. Jameis has made some strides under Arians and will look to continue doing so under the “quarterback whisperer”.

Regardless of Jameis’ improvements under Arians, it has become clear that it is basically a coin flip at the start of the game as to which Jameis will show up that day. Fortunately, there is a trend that has started to occur that tends to lead to an uptick in Winston’s production for the remainder of the game.
