Jameis Watch: Lovie Says He’s Comfortable
February 18th, 2015
Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion Jameis Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon and Josh McCown.
It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida.
Just after Joe got a one-on-one with Bucs coach Lovie Smith this morning, the headmaster of the Pewter Pirates went on BSPN Radio and told the national listening audience he is comfortable with having Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston as the leader of his offense.
Allegedly, Team Glazer is on board, and it is believed Bucs general manager Jason Licht has Winston high on his wish list. And now Lovie is on record saying he has no problem with Winston on his roster leading the Bucs offense.
Better start ordering your Winston Bucs jerseys.

Yeah..that coment is like a girl trying to set you up with a friend…..”she has a good personality”….dating code speak =’s coach speak

This is a lock. Any speculation that we take Mariota at this point is akin to the speculation that the Colts were going to take RGIII over Luck a few years ago. Not going to happen

Just waiting to hear Winston called as the newest Buccaneer and I will be getting my jersey that night or the very next day. Can’t wait!!
February 18th, 2015 at 11:11 am
I’ll give you 3 names that Lovie embraced and tried to help get their lives back on track…. All much worse than Winston. Regardless how much BS you guys try to spin.
Tank Johnson
Brandon Marshall
Jay Cutler
All had far worse reputations than Winston. Hell Tank Johnson had more guns and ammo at his place than the Illinois national guard had…
I am glad Marshall has found help and his life is back on track that being said that was one bad man. Ask the women he beat… He was run out of Denver and Miami could not give him to Lovie fast enough.
Cutler well everyone knows what a head case team wrecker he is. He destroyed a playoff caliber Denver team.
Winston is the only choice… Lovie needs Winston far more than Winston needs a has been, never was dinosaur who will be out of the league in a year or two.

Praise the LAWDDDD. Great news for Winston supporters!! Suck it Steve Duemig!

in that case let him work on Hardy and draft thew superior NFL QB Mariota
February 18th, 2015 at 11:20 am
Lovie and Licht said EXACTLY the same things about Johnny Manziel at this time last year. Funny
February 18th, 2015 at 11:20 am
And there it is. Long as Jameis doesnt do anything crazy, he will be a Buc.

I am all in on Hardy but sorry you are very wrong about Mariota… Mariota will do well with the Jets though.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:24 am
Lovie just said that the reason that McCown was released is because they are prepared to move forward with Mike Glennon and they like having options with the #1 pick. Uh-Oh
February 18th, 2015 at 11:26 am
Interesting that my link to Sam Hurd’s (the WR Lovie signed to a 3 year deal while HC/GM of Chicago) sentencing for drug trafficking while still a Chicago Bear was removed….I would to be a 3 Card Monte dealer when Lovie comes walking down the street…
February 18th, 2015 at 11:27 am
I’m openly in favor of Winston but you have to take anything said by these guys with a grain of salt. Spin city until the draft is over.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:28 am
The Big Dog is going to try to sell this today on his show as just smoke and mirrors. He is very anti- Winston.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:29 am
Lovie – “We’ve seen some things that we REALLY like from Mike Glennon and are excited about moving forward with him”
February 18th, 2015 at 11:30 am
The positive side to that statement is it will ensure that Lovie is gone by mid-season if he plays glennon. Just another lying lovie moment.
Again, it’s very simple. Lovie needs Winston far more than Winston needs a has been, never was coach. Simple… You don’t get a free pass for life because you accidentally made the superbowl nearly 10 years ago. Lovie is mediocre which is equally bad as crap. You have to have a Winner leading the team. Love has to win ten games just to surpass Schiano on the coaches win list. How pathetic is that.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:30 am
the INTS and the wind up(slow) delivery concern me…Mariota has a huge upside compared to Winston…rather risk with Mariota
February 18th, 2015 at 11:32 am
What is that sound?
Oh, Mariota mob crying in their soup!
February 18th, 2015 at 11:38 am
What I would like to know is why does everyone say there is more upside with Mariota? Could it be because he is far behind Winston? I don’t get it. You have a ready made QB in Winston but people would rather take a risk on a project.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:40 am
I hope this is true.
I will cheer for Mariota, but, it will be a sweet, sweet day is they take Winston.
Looking forward to the 30th.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:44 am
Aww, Joes… You didn’t get to hear Charles Davis on the radio this morning saying that he would take Mariota over Winston…. (not that we would ever hear about it on this propaganda site anyway)

“I’m openly in favor of Winston but you have to take anything said by these guys with a grain of salt. Spin city until the draft is over.”
“What is that sound?

Did you really just say this in a matter of 5 minutes?
February 18th, 2015 at 11:47 am
Mariota’s ceiling is higher than Winston’s and Winston’s floor is wayyyyy lower than Mariota’s. It’s an easy choice, IMO. (And in Charles Davis’ opinion)
February 18th, 2015 at 11:47 am
What is that sound?
Oh, Mariota mob crying in their soup!
Absolutely, because Winston will set this franchise back another 5 years….I’d rather take Williams and develop Glennon for another season, and see what college QBs develop over that time…this is a very weak QB class, and just because Winston and Mariota are the best of them, doesn’t make them once in a decade or once in 5 years QB, it makes them the best of a very weak class. I like Mariota’s upside much more than Winston’s, and if I had to take a QB at gunpoint I’d take Mariota. That being said, neither is a number one pick, neither is actually a first round pick, in most other drafts Winston would be a 2nd/3rd talent with off field issues that maybe someone would take a risk on, and Mariota, while a great athlete is still a project that will need to sit for a season to learn, but again, I’m much more comfortable taking Mariota as he’s light years ahead of Winston where it counts, above the shoulders.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:48 am
I smell major smoke, besides what’s Lovie supposed to say? No we hate Jameis he’s a criminal hahah. This is about as saying something as it is saying nothing at all. I’m sure you could ask Lovie about 100 hundred kids and he’d say something “Posotive” about 99 of them. Something smells fishy and smokey, and it ain’t smoked crab legs.

February 18th, 2015 at 11:50 am
@ Joes
I’m sure Jason Licht does have Winston high on his wish list; right below Mariota.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:51 am
Exactly what I expected to hear.
Of course he isn’t going to use the allegation that was disproven against him.
February 18th, 2015 at 11:53 am
Lovie also said the same nice things about Marcus Mariota, who should be the pick. But, Lovie also just said that Mike Glennon is the QB moving forward (cough cough)
February 18th, 2015 at 11:56 am
LOL – Mariota groupies not liking that news it appears. Too bad Supersam and flmike.
February 18th, 2015 at 12:04 pm
Mike Glennon has a better chance at being our starting quarterback then Jameis Cutler does.
February 18th, 2015 at 12:04 pm
@flmike …agreed, exactly, “light years ahead above the shoulders”, where it really counts…
February 18th, 2015 at 12:07 pm
Jameis Leftwich 🙂
February 18th, 2015 at 12:18 pm
Posey99- “Did you really just say this in a matter of 5 minutes?”
Yeah…I can hold two separate thoughts about the same subject within the span of 5 whole minutes! Is this some feat of mental dexterity for you? Clearly there is going to be spin from coaches and suits but that doesn’t mean Mariota mob isn’t positively discouraged by their spin.
February 18th, 2015 at 12:23 pm
Mike Glennon has a better chance at being our starting quarterback then Jameis Cutler does.
——————————–
You know they are angry when they resort to such idiotic and unintelligent, uncreative and easy insults like taking someone elses name and adding it to Jameis. LMAO… Thats right get mad for us. Be sure to cry really loud on Aprial 30th to when we pick Jameis.
February 18th, 2015 at 12:30 pm
Anyone stupid enough to believe that the Bucs have made up their mind already (on any player) has not followed football very long! We are still 2 months + until the draft and anything can happen (and often does)! Misinformation runs rampant. And those at the top of the board often leak info (true and false) to try to manipulate others. The Bucs MIGHT favor Winston at this point….they might not, but there is still the combine, pro days and individual workouts to get through. Plus don’t forget we still have two months worth of ups and downs for these players to endure. There will be heavy scrutiny on each of these players in the next few weeks! There could be failed drug tests, arrests, accusations and negative public sentiment to contend with too. Every year there always seems to be those players who rise and fall…case in point, Joe’s beloved Johnny Rehab! Remember those last year who predicted him going inside the top 5-10 picks? (Including Joe) Well what happened? After much scrutiny, teams decided that his partying lifestyle and lack of commitment to his craft weren’t worth the risk, and he slipped considerably! Ask the Browns if they’d like to have that pick back again, and I guarantee you the answer would be “hell yeah!” My point is, whether you’re in the Winston camp, the Mariota camp, the trade down camp or any other….IT’S ALL JUST SPECULATION AT THIS POINT! Let the process shake out and we will find out in just over 60 days how the Bucs really feel. In the meantime, enjoy the fact that we get first dibs on anyone we want!
February 18th, 2015 at 12:56 pm
Thanks but no thanks on the Winston jersey.
February 18th, 2015 at 1:47 pm
Sounds to me like I should go ahead and order that jersey now, thanks..

First off, Tank Johnson has his legal problems AFTER he got to Chicago. The majority of his arrests came after the Bears drafted him and then they were also the reason for his release.
Secondly, Brandon Marshall’s problems were well-documented but he was known as more of a head-case.
Lastly, Jay Cutler was considered an up and coming star on the rise when Josh McDaniels came in and ripped Cutler out of the starter’s seat and installed Tim Tebow/Kyle Orton. The only one that had major problems BEFORE going to play for Lovie was Marshall.
February 18th, 2015 at 6:38 pm
Brandon Marshall’s issues weren’t based upon immature or illegal behavior, he has been diagnosed as having Borderline Pesonality Disorder, once he was properly diagnosed and given the proper mess he has been more than a model citizen, he has become a spokes person for mental health disorders. Winston’s issues all stem from his sense of entitlement and his knowledge that FSU would do almost anything to protect their program….
