Buccaneer Quarterback Jameis Winston: What you see is what you get

Personally I cannot fathom how an NFL Management team comes to the conclusion that a player with such a Huge, gaping hole in his game re-signs that player. The fact that I’m even writing this article is an indictment of the Entire Bucs organization, and their inability to make a clear cut break from the player is just another in a long line of bad moves that have kept this franchise from being all it can be.

When Jameis Winston was drafted to the Bucs, the team was a far cry from being a good, much less great team. There were many missing pieces all over the roster, especially on defense. The team has been dealing with the Winston selection and his interceptions for so long now the rest of the team has been built up to be a playoff caliber team. Yet, here we are with Winston almost six years later, and he still has not solidified his place as this teams answer to losing games. Even with the Defense only playing very well for maybe half a season. A porous Offensive Line, and not enough commitment to the run game. This team could have still made the playoffs. The fact they did not to me is on our starting quarterback.

Your man under center is the one that you look towards to lift a team to the next level. Even despite the shortcomings, a great quarterback can put the team on his back and ride. Jameis Winston cannot do this because he is too occupied trying to catch up from where his play has put us in the game. Put more simply, He can’t lift the team up and above its own shortcomings when he has to constantly be attending to his own in game mess. Winston isn’t just battling the other teams defense. He’s battling himself the whole game.

While it is understandable that fans will bicker, and split over a situation such as Winston’s. It is not in the least bit understandable that Ownership, and their General Manager would allow this situation to carry on for years. A very large portion of the fanbase is controlled by their emotions. They are not capable of making sound, and solid football decisions. They are swayed by the wind back and forth. Most fans also do not consider in the slightest the amount of money that is at stake. Those that do consider it, are not affected by that bottom line of Cash loss. It’s not there money, so it usually does not have a bearing on their opinions.

Not enough study has been done on how people think. How they come to the conclusions that they do. How it is that you can have 100 people given the exact same facts, and parameters. But can come up with such differing conclusions, and opinions concerning the same dilemma. So remember the next time you argue with the other side.

Everyone doesn’t think the same, they may end up being right, or wrong, but they came to their conclusion as honest as you came up with yours. Peace Bucs fans.
