VJax, Evans Have Jameis’ Back
October 4th, 2015
A learning day.
Not a pleasant day for America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. Happens to some of the best.
For example, John Elway had four picks in the 11th game of his rookie year and in his 16th game of his second season.
Peyton Manning had four picks in his third game of his third season. So it happens to stud veterans, too, much less rookies.
Joe loves how many Bucs fans want to throw Jameis into the Gulf for throwing four picks — in his fourth NFL game! Those folks deserve Lovie Smith for a coach.
Some of Jameis’ teammates openly scoffed when asked after the game if Jameis should be penalized or get the hook for tossing four picks. Among those were his two big targets, wide receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson.
“We love Jameis,” Jackson said. “We are going to rally behind him. He is our guy. There is not going to be a blink in that locker room about that. We can do some things where we can make his job a little bit easier. There are some things that are done where it may seem like his fault.
“There are plenty of things we can do to make him successful. We all take accountability for those plays, those turnovers. It is never a one-man show.”
Evans scoffed when asked if Jameis is today’s goat.
“Oh, he is fine,” Evans said of Jameis. “He is a confident guy. He knows this happens. Stuff like this happens. Same with me last week. I had a bad game. He had a bad game. He will bounce back.”
Only the blowhard haters actually believe a rookie quarterback won’t struggle. Hell, if his receivers could adequately catch a football, Jameis would have thrown for over 300 yards last week without a pick.
Jameis will learn. This was his first game against a good defense. And it showed. Joe sure thought at one point Jameis looked rattled.
But to give up on him after his fourth game is beyond the pale and redefines the term asinine.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:27 pm
We can do some thugs? Ok then…
October 4th, 2015 at 6:27 pm
5 turnovers Jameis!
Hope you learn from it!
October 4th, 2015 at 6:28 pm
4? I counted 5.

Joe was calling Josh Freeman “Bust in waiting” Before he arrived in Tampa. What does Winston have over Joe? Im thinking Jameis used a roofie on joe and joe likes it soo much he cooked Jameis up some crablegs
October 4th, 2015 at 6:33 pm
I’m not giving up on Jameis……he is a rookie on a very, very, very, very bad football team….I’ve been saying this for months.
I wasn’t for the pick but I supported it afterward and I root for Jameis to succeed.
I will say that there was needless….even reckless overselling of Jameis….even after the sale (pick)…..that has raised expectations unecessarily.
Joe, you can keep calling him “America’s QB”……a name only you gave him….but I think that feeds into the overselling……JMO
I call him the “Bucs QB” and that’s good enough for me.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:37 pm
So far:
– titans = bad game
– saints = good game
– texans = ok game
– panthers = bad game
Look at bortles, he struggled last year and now playing good. Bortles like 12 Tds 17 picks last year. Don’t like the fact we have hw throwing 40 passes I was hoping max 25. Gotta pound rock with rook
October 4th, 2015 at 6:37 pm
“Only the blowhard haters actually believe a rookie quarterback won’t struggle.”
Well Joe some of them truly showed their ignorance on today’s open thread. There was this moron and he knows who he is that stated basically the Bucs should give Brindza more of a pass than Jameis Winston. A kicker vs a QB. As if kicking is so much harder than playing QB in the NFL.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:41 pm
Well-stated, Joe, but unfortunately we have a coach who doesn’t lead or inspire any confidence, who has no iron, no dog in him. He is not stepping up like he should to squash the JW doubters and haters. Lovie is not taking enough heat publicly for what is going on. He should grow a pair and be more like, for instance, Bruce Aryans or Pete Carroll, who stand there and take bullets for players constantly, defiantly, and confidently. That makes your players want to try ten thousand times harder to fix problems and perform better. I am sick of this coach who doesn’t understand leadership one bit.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:43 pm
Brindza is gone unless they carry 3 kickiers which I doubt.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:47 pm

Nice try Joe. You can insult all of us realists but here are some facts. JW is NOT pro ready as YOU told us he was. He accounted for 5 turnovers today, 5!!! not even McCown did that and you ran him out of town. His teammates HAVE to support him. And BTW the kicker cost us 6 points today, JW cost us 24! He was aweful why can’t you just admit it instead of spinning??
October 4th, 2015 at 6:49 pm
4 games. It’s only been 4 games. Jameis is a bust already.
Do you fans that say Jameis is a bust after only 4 games realize how DUMB, yes I said dumb you look when you jot that down in here?
Okay perhaps time for another list. I’ll take the names down.
Who thinks he’s going to be a bust? I’ll take down your name and put it on record in the Message Boards.
Let’s get your name on record. I’ll go around and collect a few on my own that have already said it, but I’m starting thread in the M- boards right now.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:50 pm
Bucnut is 1.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:52 pm
Ok, lets define bust. How about comparing him against MM for the next 5 years?
October 4th, 2015 at 6:52 pm
Before the draft Buc87 stated he would petition the Bucs that if the Bucs drafted JABOO the stadium would be full of rabid Nole/Buc fans, yet Buc87 himself won’t go to the Den of Depression and support Jaboo. Things that make you go HMM!
October 4th, 2015 at 6:52 pm
1987 you good with that?
October 4th, 2015 at 6:53 pm
Bucnut…scroll down the front page. Joe’s already admitted he had an atrocious day. Joe also was not the only person on earth that said JW was the more pro ready QB. For me as far as I’m concerned, 4 games waaaaaaaaaaaaay too small of a sample size. But I’ll let you people over-react about the future of this teams QB for now. Needless, but have your fun if that’s what you call it. Your team lost today btw.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:55 pm
Bucnut…oh no. I’m just taking names down that are saying he’ll be a bust. Mariota has nothing to do with it, he’s not a Buc.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:55 pm
Joe I’m sorry I love you but You gave up on Glennon before Freeman even woke up to his alarm flashing 12 12 12 12. You are to Winston what George Stephenopolous is to Hillary. And you were to Glennon what Chuck Todd is to every Republican on earth.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:56 pm
He doesn’t look right throwing the ball.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:57 pm
I think “Heisman winning, first round pick” should precede “rookie QB” in all posts.
Makes the JW boosters look a little sillier.
October 4th, 2015 at 6:57 pm
lightningbuc …as I said earlier. I’ll be there next week for the Jags game to watch them go 1-4. In the meantime you stick by your kicker in Brindza for me okay buddy.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:00 pm
1987- this guy is LOST!!!. he locks on to receivers just think about ME 17 targets last week and this week about the same for VJ. He is NOT reading defenses. He has terrible feet and a VERY slow delivery. And worst of all he is NOT accurate. He displayed his lack of accuracy last year at FSU. QB’s become less accurate in the NFL not more. I will say he holds a GREAT press conference.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:00 pm
87,
I could care less about Brindza. I just find it so funny you are ready to run an undrafted free agent kicker out of town for mistakes, but the #1 overall pick gets a pass for just as many, if not more, mistakes.
A kicker’s primary job is to make kicks – Brindza hasn’t done a good job of that.
A QB’s primary jobs is to NOT turn the ball over to the other team – JABOO hasn’t done a good job of that.
Cut them both!
October 4th, 2015 at 7:02 pm
1987- define bust?
October 4th, 2015 at 7:03 pm
Clodhopper …you’re right and Joe won’t address the treatment he gave Glennon during his rookie year vs Jameis’ rookie year.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:07 pm
lightningbuc …keep repeating that and don’t ever stop. Go back and re-read how stupid that sounds. Kicker vs QB in the NFL as to which job is harder. Make yourself look dumb all you want. It’s like the 4th time you typed that nonsense today. Let everyone continue to read those words shake their head and go what a fool?
October 4th, 2015 at 7:07 pm
Vjax and Michael Clayton wannabe Evans have JW’s back? How about by catching the ball when throws it to you, assclowns.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:10 pm
Bucnut…defined? Anyone that says the word Jameis is going to be a bust or is currently a bust. That’s it.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:12 pm
Buc87,
I feel your pain. You look like a huuuuge buffoon, telling us how you were going to get people to sign a petition last year on dale mabry to draft Jaboo to show the Bucs how you were going to pack the RayJay with ‘Nole honks – and now YOU won’t even go to the game to support your beloved, alleged rap….ist! The irony is sooooo hilarious!
Joe (and Buc87) know QBs!
October 4th, 2015 at 7:13 pm
Buc1987 … I don’t think most Bucs fans think Jameis is a bust. But I do think that the preseason showed … and these first games have validated … that he isn’t ready to be the starting QB for this franchise.
Taking a 21-year old with TWO years of starting QB experience in college and turning over the reins of your franchise to him this quickly is bound to have risks. Very high risks.
And that’s what we’re now seeing. Jameis has a ton of talent and potential, but he’s NOT NFL-ready at this point. And particularly starting for a team that has as many other problems as ours does. He’ll gain experience, but the losses will pile up in the meantime. Sorry, but that’s not good for the team, not good for the fans, and not good for Jameis.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:16 pm
DefenseRules…there is at the very least 10 fans on this site that will say Jameis is a bust right now. Scroll through the pages and read up. You’ll find them saying that very thing.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:17 pm
lightningbuc …YOU don’t know anything about me or my life. You acting like a fool after 4 games in tells a lot.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:20 pm
lightningbuc…Once again. I was at the home opener. I was going to go to this game as well. I have tickets. My kid got really sick on Friday so I gave up my tickets to this game to my mother. So like I said you know nothing about me. You just continue to spout off nonsense. I’ll be at next weeks game though at probably the one after that as well.
The petition thingy that was just a joke to get the thread all riled up at the time and it did.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:21 pm
87,
True or false? That last year at this time you stated you were going to stand outside the RayJay and get people to sign a petition to have the Bucs draft Jaboo so the stadium would be full? Tell the truth.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:22 pm
87,
Oh, so now it was a joke. LMAO!
Buc87 knows QBs!
October 4th, 2015 at 7:24 pm
I don’t remember anyone asking me about that petition idea after I said it. I said it about what 6 months ago. I’ve been on this site everday since then and no one has said a peep about it. So perhaps you were the only one that took it seriously.
Go figure. Just read your posts…un-drafted FA kicker blah blah blah…
October 4th, 2015 at 7:27 pm
“VJax, Evans Have Jameis’ Back”
Wish they had more of his passes.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:28 pm
What I said was I’ll go out to RayJay parking lot and tailgate with a petition for the Bucs to draft Jameis. I also stated I’ll set up a tent with free crab legs and everything.
It was a joke, especially since I thought they were taking Winston long before the season was over. There was no need to do some crazy assed petition even if I was serious.
Where were you in say Jan or April asking me if I went to RayJay with my petition? I would laughed and told you that was a joke.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:30 pm
For example, John Elway had four picks in the 11th game of his rookie year and in his 16th game of his second season.
Peyton Manning had four picks in his third game of his third season. So it happens to stud veterans, too, much less rookies.
Joe loves how many Bucs fans want to throw Jameis into the Gulf for throwing four picks — in his fourth NFL game! Those folks deserve Lovie Smith for a coach.
_______________________________________________________________How come you become a stat lover when Jameis does poorly but when Glennon did well by the “stat gods” you said stats weren’t a big deal?
How come you compare Jameis to Peyton Manning and John Elway and other NFL greats after only 4 games. All offseason and so far during current you do. Why after a few games do we compare him to them? The vast majority of players who play like he has with that many picks are not hall of famers. Just curious as to the bias in only comparing to NFL greats. That is NOT to say he won’t be great or is a bust because it’s too early to say that.
No one is calling to throw him in the gulf….. We are just saying he is playing bad and as with any rookie needs to play better. Most of the people complaining are saying other rookies did not play like this as rookies. They are saying other rookies did not play this recklessly. Can we not say Jameis should learn to be less dangerous with the football? That is all just take care of the ball better. Many rookies or young QB’s do better with the ball.
Maybe he will be fine, maybe he won’t only time will tell. He did some good things and bad. Like all rookies but that is not to say we cannot get upset when he hurts the team more than we feel like even a normal first pick in the draft, nfl ready QB with his pedigree should make. That’s all. Don’t worry no one is asking for a divorce or saying he was wrong. Just that others could be playing better at this stage. Understood we want him to learn from mistakes but our fans have waited for so many years for a team that wins and looks competitive weekly, all we are saying is that through the first 4 weeks others could have done that better. Not saying to bench him, that he was a mistake or the 2nd best qb.
But could giving him time to learn or at least playing much more safe in plays and strategy help? He does well in the gun in a hurry up. Should we not call for them to do that more? He does well on short passes and deeper ones but maybe more plays to protect him would be good. He is getting hit a lot, maybe more plays to protect him from danger. If he is the franchise for years to come these are valid questions to ask. He took a bad hit from behind today, some people are worried. He acts reckless with the ball and his body at times. Can we not be worried or upset with him when he does this. If he is our savior then we should demand him to do those even as a rookie because you said he was the most NFL QB in a long time and was ready to lead this team day 1. That means we should expect that. Can we just say maybe 4 INT plus a fumble is too many even for him and that instead 2 or 3 INT’s plus a fumble is a better outcome? I don’t expect him to look like a seasoned pro or perfect but can he throw less than 3 picks? Less than 3 turnovers. I can live with 1 or 2. Even rarely 3. Just to help our team.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:35 pm
DefenseRules makes a very reasoned and weLloyd stated argument…
I wanted the other guy but the older I get, the more I get used to not getting my way. I’m a Bucs fan and will root for all Bucs players. The biggest concern I had about JW was not talent, it was inexperience and decision making that I was worried about. I never bought into the Joes “NFL ready” assertions.
In a couple of years I think we may have a very good QB. It’s WAY too early to proclaim him a bust. He could have used some time learning from the bench…like that guy from Green Bay.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:36 pm
Jameis is costing us games. He does not give us the best chance to win. I love the kid and proud he is a Buccaneer. But he is NOT ready and he is hurting our team. SIMPLE AS THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and please don’t give me the crap about a rookie QB can’t learn from the bench !!! I’m too old to fall for that SPIT !!!!!!!!
October 4th, 2015 at 7:37 pm
87,
So now Jaboo sucks and it was all a big joke??!!
Hey, at least you still have the Red Sox, you big Tampa Bay fan, you! LOL!
October 4th, 2015 at 7:38 pm
Lets agree that Jameis isn’t a bust……to early for that…..
But,if we do, lets also agree that Jameis isn’t “America’s QB”….too early for that..too
October 4th, 2015 at 7:40 pm
2002bucglory …good read. I enjoyed it actually. I have a question for you though.
What did you expect the Bucs record to be this season before it started?
I expected 5 wins with Jameis coming on by midseason. I expected him to have a rough start to the NFL, then by midseason the game will slow down for him a bit.

You’re a joke, because you don’t comprehend much.

It’s Ok. Now that Jaboo sucks you are claiming your petition drive was all a joke. It’s cool. Maybe your Red Sux will move to Tampa.
Buc87 is (not) a TB fan!
October 4th, 2015 at 7:52 pm
I see no one even bringing up the fact the Panthers are in top 5 in the league in INT’s and have one of the best defenses in the NFL.
Does that not matter one bit? or Is that just another excuse?
Because ya know there was a much better team playing on the other side of the ball today. The Panthers do have a good D right? Am I right about that? Can anyone agree with me about that?
October 4th, 2015 at 7:52 pm
This is the whiniest fanbase of all time. MANY of you so called buc fans hope that this team loses because of how you feel about Jameis. Yes, he stunk it up today. Yes, this team is horrible. If you are honest with yourself, you may even admit that this team was possible better three years ago. Possibly, not definitely.
This is a bottom feeder program… But when you actively root for YOUR team to lose (yes your team, you invest time, energy, and money) then you are also a bottom feeder fan. There needs to be a change in culture, for both the coaching staff and the fans. Sure fans have the right to complain about a mediocre product on the field, but NEWS FLASH, you wouldn’t have been able to get Jameis if this team didn’t already suck so much.
This team needs time, more talent, superior coaching, and fan support. As of now the only one of these they seem to have is time.
October 4th, 2015 at 7:55 pm
lightningbuc…ha ha ha ha yeah I’m not a TB fan. You’re right. That’s why I live on this site from morning til night. I work from home, so I’m always on this site.
I don’t even watch baseball, I follow the game and the standings that’s just about it. As far as I’m concerned MLB could fold and I wouldn’t miss it. That’s how much I like baseball.

______________________________________________________________
@ Buc1987
Thanks, glad we can have intelligent conversation compared to what others do to each other. And learn from each other. Glad to add value to our beloved team regardless of how they play.
I expected 4-6 wins. To be honest I expected the Jags game and Texans could be wins. At least 1 division game. Finally I expected us to play a team when they were really down and win. That’s 4 I know. But my upside was for us to have 2 division wins and have one game where we win and no one expected it because we played great. Like a few years back when we almost beat Seattle the year they went to the Super Bowl…
But I expected less turn overs, somewhat less penalties and the receivers to provide more help. Oline is about what I expected, backs are exactly what I thought. Special teams really has let me down I feel like we regressed big time which is too bad. The defense I thought would be much more stout and generate more pass rush than before. I thought we would be a top 14 D. With a middle of the road (18-22nd) offense. I really expected sacks and INT’s from Jameis. But not this many.
I know he threw tons in college and could have thrown even more but my thought was Dirk has worked with many rookies in the past and always managed to have an above average offense in all his years. The hope was while we would play his offense we would do more to protect him. Also, really drill into him to not take big risks as often as he currently is. He is not good enough to overcome his INT’s right now in most games. That takes time. So his winning strategy is to play a little bit risk averse and keep us in games. That let’s us play different on defense and run the ball more. It protects him and the defense. It gives him time to develop. I think it will take him more than this year to get better. Probably the middle of year 2. But I worry about how the hits and other issues will affect him and his teammates, our fans and our coaches. That is the big risk to me.
Hopefully he picks it up. I just feel like they are putting too much on him too early. He played great in college but only 2 seasons. He has less experience. Just because he is smart, talented and confident doesn’t mean we should push the needle there. I think I would rather lose with him doing check downs more often and throw 1 or 2 picks than how we lost today. I think it gives the fans hope and fills the stadium and allows us to build more confidence. They (many of the players) seem to expect bad things to happen so I really think we need positive experiences to reverse the trend and build confidence. This kind of loss demoralizes the team more and hurts us.

Agree with you on that. All the reason for Jameis, the team and most important the coaches to devise a game plan to protect our rookie QB to help keep us in the game. They are tough. Just like the Browns D is nasty. But I fault the coaches for not fully recognizing that and really protecting the franchise QB and team to keep them in the game. I believe coach Dungy would have done that. I think that other great nfl coaches would have done that as well. It’s a great D and that is expected. But Jameis needs to realize that and adjust behavior though. Right?

Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson all had 4-5 int games last year, it’s ok as long as it doesn’t happen again.

Here’s a tip for the unintelligent bunch who don’t like Winston. Pro ready does not mean the rookie wont struggle. LoL. Thats just laughable. Almost as funny as the stupidity of judging someone a bust after his 4th game, 3rd game, 2nd game… you get the picture.

Of course I would be rooting for the Red Sox. It’s where I grew up and I stick my teams. I wasn’t a Pats fan when I moved down here and Tampa didn’t have a baseball team the time. So all of a sudden they get a team and I’m supposed to drop my old one???? It doesn’t work that way. Maybe in your world it does.
Why does it bother you that I’m not Rays fan? TBBF is a Yankees fan, go bug him too. As a matter of fact at the home opener I saw a guy wearing a Lynch jersey and an Orioles hat. Oh the horror of it all!!!!
October 4th, 2015 at 8:55 pm
Lightningbuc either has an awful brain or is just an awful troll.. Not sure if I’ve ever seen a person so desperately try to impose something on another (87) to make himself sound less dumb… Needless to say I was laughing at most of Lightning’s comments, total fool lmao. Good job 87 you effectively made him look like a complete idiot
October 4th, 2015 at 8:57 pm
It’s works both ways buddy. Say you up and move to Cleveland.
Are you going to be an Indians fan? Or do you bring your team with you to Cleveland and remain a Rays fan. If you say you’ll stay a Rays fan. Then STFU and leave me alone about such foolishness.
You make no sense as usual.

Most of these later arrived fans from up north remain primarily loyal to their former home teams, which is understandable. Florida has always been a haven for transplanted northerners. That’s why the population is pushing 20 million here. If all of the people who moved here from out of state left, Florida would be sparsely populated.

Drew Brees, Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson all had 4-5 int games last year, it’s ok as long as it doesn’t happen again.

Bad news for you. I know facts and stats are fun but when you quote them at least don’t lie about them.
Last year Drew Bree’s and Matt Ryan both did not throw 4 picks like you says they did. Russell Wilson did so in the playoffs which is not the same as the regular season. That game was the nfc champ against th packers. We are talking regular season.
Nice try though. Sorry but your narrative is just wrong

You people are silly. Get a grip. It’s a young team with a rookie QB. As anyone who has the slightest sense of history can tell you a great start to a career is no guarantee of success (Clayton, Cadillac, Freeman, Vince Young, Kapaernick) as much as a struggle with a first year (Elway, Brees, Eli Manning). Like some of our players, I’m hoping many of you grow up.

For the Win: USA Today Sports, by Chris Chase
“A search of pro-football-reference’s awesome Player Game Finder shows that 60 rookie quarterbacks have thrown four of more interceptions in a single game since the AFL/NFL merger. The list contains all sorts of QBs, as I was expecting: Terry Bradshaw, another No. 1 pick, did it twice. John Elway and Troy Aikman both appear. So do Dan Fouts and Phil Simms. Super Bowl winners Jim Plunkett and Mark Rypien are on there too. Then there are the mediocre: Steve Grogan, Jack Trudeau, Chris Miller, Billy Joe Tolliver, Jeff George, Eric Zeier and, as if I had to tell you, Ryan Leaf.”

What I don’t get are those who blame Jameis on EVERYTHING! Busy or not (he is not) it’s like they’re not watching the game and prefer to talk smack instead of observe. He made some terrible decisions. I can’t and won’t defend him for those. But there were two plays in a row that I thought he did very well and the “fans” behind me wanted to crucify him. Near the beginning of the 4th a screen was ran but covered. With linemen in his face, he killed the play by throwing at the rb’s (I don’t remember if Sims or Dougie) feet. A very VETERAN play, right? All I hear behind me is yelling about picking the wrong guy. Next play and Louis Murphy is wiiiide open on the left flat. Jameis throws him upfield so he’d have a huge gain. Seriously, he might still be running. Murphy turns to his left and stops. Yes, he turned to his left and stops! They’ve got to get on the same page. When I say the same page, I mean the qb’s page. The idiots behind me continue with their comments. These are the same people, I’m sure, who wanted Mariota and want Jameis to fail just so they can be right about it.

Espo…I was told by lightening Buc that no fans showed up to this game. He said where are all the fans that you said would fill RJS if they drafted Jameis? The dude said some of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard on here today.
I just saw a picture of the Bucs sidelines during today’s game and the place did in fact looked packed. So I went on a hunt to see what the attendance was for this game. It was 57,468 out of a 64,000 seat stadium.
Yes it was pretty damn full after all. It didn’t look like it on TV though. Where was everyone? Hiding from the rain?

Actually, yes. It started raining in the beginning of the game and most ran away as if allergic to water. It wasn’t cold. It wasn’t lightning. I guess they didn’t realize the game would be outdoors. I guess they’re “fair weather” fans.

It is insulting to us, Jameis, and the rest of the NFL to call Jameis “Americas Quarterback”. It makes me want to puke. It is time to give that a break. We all like him but this is going to be a very very long work in progress. You got your “gunslinger” and that doesn’t win games. Of all the things quarterbacks do, protecting the ball is the most important.

Lol…Americas GB is just silly at this point. Give us all a break man.
