Jameis Watch: Jason Licht Says “Check The Box”
March 2nd, 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 ever to wear No. 5 in the state of Florida.
Joe’s drooling at the thought of the Bucs drafting a quarterback. Of course, Joe’s choice is Jameis Winston.
And while it is the season of smoke, Tampa Bay general manager Jason Licht was unafraid to get specific on his evaluation of Marcus Mariota and Winston.
Speaking recently on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Licht detailed some of the Bucs’ criteria for a potential rookie QB. It should tell fans that the race is tight.
“We want a guy that’s a football junkie. And we want a guy that’s considered the hardest worker on the team. And we want a guy that’s highly intelligent. And we want a guy that’s highly driven and highly competitive,” Licht said. “Both, the two quarterbacks that are being talked about most around here today, both those guys fit. You know, check the box on all those things.”
This won’t calm the great quarterback debate, but it should make Bucs fans smile. Your team is in position to hit the jackpot.
Just pick the guy who’s ready to play and ready to lead.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:00 pm
It’s not close at all.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:03 pm
…and we should want a guy who doesn’t give a hoot about baseball….
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:06 pm
Sounds like a Tie, the Tiebreaker you ask? Off the feild behavior, edge Mariota. He’s our guy.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:06 pm
Close on drive but give me the guy that is the most “natural thrower” please. I also want a vocal leader…alpha dog kinda guy
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:07 pm
Agreed May the best QB win. Also. This free agency class is looking really good and even more quality
Guys to be cut in the next few
Days. Bucs in good shape to get a lot better.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:11 pm
Tie breaker is character
Jameis has more red flags than a communist military parade

We have a BiG ReD FLaG on our helmet so he’ll fit right in…
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:27 pm
Worry about jameis self control – the cat ballooned to 268 after the season
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:27 pm
I get a kick out of how everybody for Jameis and everybody for Marcus think they are right and that it should be obvious to everyone else. The only thing that is obvious is that the Bucs need a franchise quarterback and there are tow potential candidates. Which one will become obvious only after the selection is made.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:28 pm
@cream
Well she might beat him in the 40!
I wonder if he covered “green eggs and ham”. That one always made me hungry.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:29 pm
“Pick the guy ready to play and ready to lead”…..Sounds more like Winston than it does Mariota.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:31 pm
I’m surprised Licht didn’t say he’d like his pick to be a Heisman winner….that’s how close the two are on the list….
We are likely to be guessing on the pick untl draft day….
Any of those who think its a slam dunk for either side is just exhibiting wishful thinking….
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:35 pm
We’re Bucs fans, all we got is wishful thinking.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:42 pm
But but it isn’t that close. Can’t be. I saw a mock draft that said otherwise. What does Licht know.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:51 pm
Licht provided more clues…
I want a guy with an M & S in their first name and an I and a T in their last name.
Also…he wants a QB with a sub 5 sec in the 40…..
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:53 pm
@Skyline
You are the main one I always see talking definitively about who they will draft… so that rich coming from you.
March 2nd, 2015 at 7:54 pm
john elway and russell wilson gave a hoot about baseball. as did john lynch. i’m not sure loving baseball and excelling at it precludes you from being dedicated to a football career
March 2nd, 2015 at 8:06 pm
You guys can argue until you are blue in the face about who is better and who we are going to take. None of you know Either so it is funny to. watch
March 2nd, 2015 at 8:16 pm
Licht……I’d also like my QB to be 6’4″…..and 21 years old….
March 2nd, 2015 at 8:31 pm
Howdy TBBF. Good to see you my friend.
March 2nd, 2015 at 8:35 pm
How about the kid that sold out to football, while improving every year, while graduating in 3 years with a science degree…
The guy who blew away the performances of every hybrid QB drafted to San Francisco, Seattle and Carolina in the past 5 years…while demonstrating he CAN take 5 and 7 step drops…and was equally impressive in ALL of his interviews…but has never had a single character issue EVER…
Yep, Licht’s right. Marcus Mariota is the clear choice.
March 2nd, 2015 at 8:39 pm
@TBBF
And have them both have dark hair, be right handed, and non-SEC QB’s.
March 2nd, 2015 at 8:41 pm
@Pick6:
None of those you named fancied himself a pitcher…
March 2nd, 2015 at 8:46 pm
It’s close folks. Winston Apologists mad.
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:02 pm
Any frequent poster here that has a brain knows that I am not a “Winston hater”.
They would also know that I am not anti Winston. Im one of those knuckledragging Trade down crowd. However I am slightly concerned about him already filling for a trademark on “Famous Jameis”.
To me it is shades of Cam Newton with the “I see myself not only as a football player, but an entertainer and icon.”
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:05 pm
Winston will be a Mistake
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:07 pm
Welcome to Tampa Jameis Winston
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:07 pm
@ADown88
Obviously you didn’t get the sarcasm in my post.
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:08 pm
As an avid JW supporter, I must admit its close. However that play that Licht had on his phone of JW against the Cuse was special, like many others by him, including his first game against Pitt, the run against OSU, and of course all the comebacks, believe me I am no Nole fan, for me it’s all about the U, but I am a Bucs fan, give me JW, but if MM comes to us I will support, until I see JW go off on the rest of the league
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:09 pm
@Tom Edrington….John Lynch was a pitcher..he actually threw the first ever pitch of the Miami Marlins
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:11 pm
It’s getting a little slow around here.
We need a story.
No worries. The shizzle will hit the fizzle once the moves start.
Every signing and release will have secret Winston messages
encoded in it and we’ll debate the issue.
Here’s hoping for good smart productive moves that get the
zeitgeist of the team moving in a winning direction.
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:13 pm
Its all the bucs going through the motions so they can say they did their due diligence and “investigated” and whatnot.
They already know their board.
And they know their taking Jameis.
Its obvious.
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:17 pm
“And they know their taking Jameis.”
I would highly disagree with that. 🙂
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:32 pm
Other than the fact that we’re already pretty strong at DT, it seems like the same who want Winston would also be the ones who want Suh…. Just win, right? Who cares about class??? Or character?!??
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:34 pm
Same *people
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:40 pm
bozo Winston. its all about meeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:45 pm
I agree with White Tiger 100%…. And the rest of #TeamMariota…. You can just refer to us as the ‘Wisemen’ from now. Silly naive Winston supporters. I’ll never understand you guys. He would be such an illogical pick.
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:48 pm
this guy is trying to become a icon before his first paycheck! really. that should worry you. that is a s***y attitude.
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:54 pm
Its not about winning now.
Winston is simply the better player. Short term. Long term. Whatever term.
March 2nd, 2015 at 9:57 pm
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Winston hater… I support the dude in general, but I couldn’t ever choose him over Mariota if I was the Bucs. He’s got every tool anyone could ever want in a QB. And he’s got a strong competitive fire, even though he’s not as outspoken as Winston…. I’m sure u guys read the detailed account of the combine interviews. Mariota is on top of his game, gentlemen. I think he will be quite efficient running the offense from Week 1. Watch. I think he’ll end up ill surprising alot of people bcuz of his work ethic and intelligence, combined with his God-gifted physical abilities.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:01 pm
mariota yes shamies NO!
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:03 pm
TWO WORDS- hunting ground.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:05 pm
Typo the word *ill should not be there
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:06 pm
I think the Pick will be Mariota. Then he can go from the ugliest uniforms in college football to the ugliest uniforms in the NFL
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:07 pm
It’s so sad that you guys hoping for us to draft Mariots don’t realize that you should just be hoping for us to suck. This guy has bust written all over him. Name the other qb that is soft spoken, from a spread offense, not accurate on throws in the red zone and didn’t win crap as a team in college that went on to be successful in the NFL. I mean I’m not trying to be a jerk but do you guys really feel like this guy can make it in the NFL? I mean what has he done to make him so special, that you guys think he can overcome all of these obstacles when no one else had ever done it?
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:08 pm
what this kids agent is setting up class visits at school. trying to change peoples perception. that should tell you something people.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:13 pm

March 2nd, 2015 at 10:15 pm
Im not sure how much I agree with the “Hunting Ground” being made when it is still just supposition and I am non biased towards Winston. I’m not sure but I think this move would be unprecedented in this situation. It being aired could cost Winston a great deal in the end. I just hope that it doesn’t cost the Bucs.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:16 pm
Mariota will be hitting his prime about the same time that Winston will be scrubbing out. Sorry Winston apologists, but he will not be a winner in the NFL
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:16 pm
See Mikeh that is just another example of not knowing what you are talking about. He had done this many times before now. But ESPN has not told you to think that so you would not know cause you clearly can’t think for yourself. #brainwashed
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:27 pm
@ndog. Pot, meet Kettle.
Just my observations from a non biased point of view.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:27 pm
What really amazes me is how all of you Winstonites just automatically assume that if the Bucs do draft Winston that the Bucs will “win now” No way that’s going to happen. Not gonna happen. He just turned 21 and has only played 2 years of college ball against weak opponents. No way is he ready for the NFL. I can’t wait to see all of the excuses that the Winstonites come up with when Winston starts to really stink, lose and make a fool out of himself and his team
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:33 pm
Hunting Grounds is a big flop and barely a ripple. A few reports from the agenda crowd about it but not much else.
Certainly hasn’t generated some sort of uproar that would change the bucs mind.
I see the “victim” is back to alleging she was drugged. Guess she forgot about the toxicology report and her testimony to the Supreme Court Judge.
Her hunt for cash seems to be fizzling.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:44 pm
Licht wants a QB with Rose Bowl experience…..
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:47 pm
ya ndog nice name. and you know what your talking about sure. hey those are my opinions you don’t have to like them. and I don’t care what you think. worry about yourself. that’s the problem with you Winston lovers. if one person says anything about Winston you start crying and putting people down. but its ok to say s**t about mariota oh he s***s whatever you have no clue how either QB is going to be like in the nfl. but you know it all!!!! blablabla same crap! out of your piehole!
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:54 pm
@Knuckledragger
It’s not the movie being made that’s the problem…..its including the Winston accuser and legitimizing her by including her with actual rape victims…..I haven’t seen the movie but I doubt they went out of their way to point out the “alleged” part.
This is truly a nightmare PR sitiuation for Winston & the team that drafts him…not necessarily a dealbreaker…but a problem.
Winston is looking at a rocky future in so far as endorcements are concerned.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:56 pm
Just like you don’t have the slightest proof that Winston visited the school because his agent told him to, Mr. Mikeh.
I don’t expect the Bucs to win right away with Jameis. But I do think they might have a franchise QB for the next 12-15 years.
Notice I said might.
The best football minds in the world pick busts. Jameis could bust. Mariota could bust.
Draft is a crap shoot.
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:58 pm
Hearing that Winston’s weight got up to 262 after the Rose Bowl is more than a little alarming. That’s a whole lot of Crab Legs. Jamarcus Russell 2.0
March 2nd, 2015 at 10:59 pm
See you guys miss these little things called facts that you never seem to respond to. I state Mariota has a poor % in the red zone (fact) is coming from a spread offense (fact), soft spoken (fact), didn’t win crap in college (fact). You can get mad and call names but if you notice I stick to facts but you don’t use those because there aren’t any to support your argument. Just like people make stuff up about Jameis. He has clearly made mistakes but he is made out to be the devil when in reality he is just a confident kid that we need here in Tampa.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:03 pm
agree ERIC I don’t know but its good for him no. he needs to repair his image so if I were his agent that’s something I would do. just saying.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:04 pm
Not a nightmare.
Low level documentary with limited distribution rehashing what has been reported for two years.
The grand premier was a blip. Picked up by the usual suspects. Salon, etc.
It’s hardly a serious documentary.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:07 pm
I know I brought this up already, but I find it very interesting that the Bucs are meeting with Leonard William’s representatives. Maybe they are starting to realize that with the #1 pick in the draft you take the #1 player in the draft
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:10 pm
The reports say Winston was at 245 after rose bowl, not 262.

March 2nd, 2015 at 11:13 pm
Eric don’t bring up facts it angers the baseless Mariota supporters.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:14 pm
Williams could also bust.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:14 pm
“poor % in the red zone”
Alright, and? Plenty of blemishes in Jameis’ stats as well.
“spread offense”
So? How is that automatically a bad thing? The NFC Team with 2 straight Super Bowl appearances runs a spread offense.
“soft spoken”
So he has to be loud and proud to be a good leader? He’s not allowed to be a leader AND humble and not overconfident? How is that a negative?
“didn’t win crap in college”
What does that mean? He didn’t win the National Championship? Because that’s the only thing he DIDN’T win in college, though he did make it to one. 36-5 record, Rose Bowl MVP, Fiesta Bowl MVP, Alamo Bowl MVP, Heisman Trophy Winner, Maxwell Award, etc.
Just trying to understand your reasoning.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:15 pm
I also read 262. but that don’t matter there are so many stories out there you don’t know what to believe.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:19 pm
only the Winston crew gets the facts. lmao.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:22 pm
Lol is that what buc fans do haha drop a quarterback because of his 40 time? The combine told us nothing we don’t already know, Winston is the best prospect but it’s nice to know they don’t think they’ll go wrong with either one meaning once again Glennon will lose the starting job in preseason
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:31 pm
well if anyone has a legit source that shows Winston was at 262 after the rose bowl I’d like to see it.
But, it would be par for the course to make it up.
Like alleging his agent told him to go to the school to read Dr. Seuss.
C’mon.
And the Bucs can easily fix the baseball thing in his contract.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:35 pm
That Is the goal to win it all, Jameis did Mariota didn’t you telling me that’s not important? Also zero 4th quarter comebacks for Mariota. Not against Stanford, not against OSU, none! But I guess that doesn’t matter either because with the great Mariota we will never be behind right?
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:35 pm
@Eric
It’s not just the movie….it’s the Titlle 9 lawsuit and the likelyhood of a civil suit…..it is a combination of events that keep this issue in the press. I’m not saying it can’t be overcome…but compared to an average player’s PR…..and this is a potiential #1 overall pick….this could be categorized as a nightmare.
Now you can minimize it all you like…but that along with all the other circled wagons isn’t going to make it go away.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:37 pm
And….don’t confused my opinions over the PR issue with my opinions on the accusation….I don’t believe the accuser and think Winston is getting a raw deal and is in a very difficult position…..defending hiimself only brings more attention to it.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:50 pm
Chris Landry said this past Friday on the large puppy show that he was asked by 7 teams to help conduct their player interviews. He interviewed Mariota and Winston 3 times each. In one of those interviews Winston was asked about his weight and said that after the Rose Bowl he weighed 262 after playing in the Rose Bowl in the 250’s. Go listen for yourself
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:54 pm
Oh come on, everybody knows that Winston couldn’t read Dr. Seuss unless it’s Crab Legs and Ham
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:55 pm
Gotta be up for the dumbest thing said all day.
So Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Andrew Luck, Sam Bradford, Matt Stafford, and anybody else who’s been a 1st round QB “didn’t win crap in college” just because they didn’t win the National Championship????
These are individuals, Championships are won by teams, not individuals.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:57 pm
Would love to have some “west coast” perspective on here to counterbalance some of this Garnet & Gold homer-ism; ya know, people that have actually watch MM play and have followed his career as closely as the JW crowd seems to have followed him.
March 2nd, 2015 at 11:59 pm
Winning the National Championship means about as much in the NFL as winning a Heisman Trophy. In other words, it doesn’t mean sh*t except for high expectations.

I haven’t followed Mariota his whole career so I don’t know if that’s true. But even if it is, how exactly do you expect Mariota to perform 4th Quarter comebacks when his team is never down in the 4th? It’s never a bad thing to NOT BE LOSING in the last quarter of the game, but you somehow flip that into a negative. Jameis has all the 4th quarter comeback because of poor 1st half play he had to make up for. But I don’t hold that over Winston’s head because football is a TEAM GAME. It wasn’t just Jameis that was down it was the FSU defense and the rest of his offense and team.

Ok… Im a UF grad. I loved Tebow. Still love Tebow and am amazed that he did so well in his time in the NFL. Im not surprised that he is commentating because of his lack of desire to convert to another position. My point being, I was never one of those Gators fans that didn’t ignore the flags that Tim couldn’t throw accurate intermediate passes. was less than average at reading defenses that would Need to be read at the next level, and hardly ever saw a third read.

March 3rd, 2015 at 12:37 am
Winston is the best QB prospect talent wise since Andrew Luck. Period. For that reason alone we should take a shot at him. That doesn’t mean he wont ruin his career with his off the field behavior, but given his talent I think its a risk worth taking. After all, the draft is pretty much a crap shoot anyway, might as well gamble on the most talented players.
March 3rd, 2015 at 12:52 am
Also, I’m just looking at this purely from a football perspective. I’m not taking into account anything he’s done off the field. I don’t condone anything he’s done, but I’m also not going to judge him for anything either. All that should be judged about him from FOOTBALL fans is whether or not he can play FOOTBALL. Everything else will work itself out.

Just imagine what would have happened if the bucs passed on Warren Sapp because of his alleged cocaine use. Mostly likley… no super bowl. And that’s what helped build the bucs into a super bowl winning team, its because we took a chance on players (and even Gruden) because of their football prowess, not because of anything else. Im sorry people but this is not a morality contest. Sure, I want all my bucs to be upstanding citizens, but thats just unrealistic of a football team. We used to make bold moves on talented players with questionable character, and it got us a superbowl. Do it again with Winston, and it might just happen again.

Yep, his weight was 231 at the combine…didn’t look like a solid 231…but hey, it’s hard dropping 35 lbs in 30 days…you can’t expect Kid Fameis to build muscle AND lose weight…all while being required pick up his free Publix crab legs, and McDonalds cokes…right?

Is Jameis Winston the best QB available? Yes.
He’s the best draft prospect, he’s the best free agent prospect.

Other than the fact that we’re already pretty strong at DT, it seems like the same who want Winston would also be the ones who want Suh…. Just win, right? Who cares about class??? Or character?!??

Good character has won exactly ZERO games in the history of the NFL… And I want Winston but not Suh… your rationale is about as bad as your talent evaluations.

Good news for Jameis. He has already trademarked “Famous Jameis”.

here’s my checkmarks:
has stolen > check
possible sexual assault > check
has blown up in weight > check
has mike glennon speed > check
has a wind up, “Leftwich” delivery > check
….it’s crazy to think the Bucs would gamble on this cat, with more than one way that he could turn into an outright bust and headache for the team, and set the team back another 5+ years….

The Title IX la suit is a joke, given the “victim” was afforded a full evidentiary hearing before a independent Judge, and was unable to prove her claim.
She also failed to respond to 20 requests by the University to give a statement about the incident so said Title IX inquiry could proceed.
Lastly, I highly doubt a civil action against Jameis is in play given her statement in the “documentary” that she was drugged, in direct contradiction to the toxicology report and her prior testimony. No lawyer in their right mind would allow her to go public with more falsehoods if a civil action is contemplated. That in addition to the prior blatant inconsistencies in her initial series of statements on this matter.
Her claims are going nowhere, just as they have so far.

In 2-3 years, at most, this will be as much a bogus comparison as leaf/manning..winston, and its not really close

Why is it you guys compare Winston to busts and other “black” qb’s who failed but don’t compare Mariota to anyone? Lest not forget there was a “throwing Samoan” in the league before. How did he work out? Also call the ACC weak competition. Hmm the ACC had much better statistical defenses than the PAC 12. Stop just spewing venom guys, sound like a bunch of females. I have reservations about both guys but I’ll be happy with either one as long as they come in, work hard and f-ing produce!

You must be new here…
People have already said that he’s the next Aaron Rodgers, Russell Winston and Colin Kaepernick

Highly Intelligent? That rules out Winston.
