More from Bobby Bowden
Yes, the interview Florida State’s legendary former coach Bobby Bowden gave Paul Finebaum on the SEC Network yesterday, in which Bowden’s words were less than flattering to America’s Quarterback, Bucs signalcaller Jameis Winston, sure rocked the sports world. (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, oozes confidence and positive thinking. That’s one reason his teammates gravitate to him so.
And young Jameis is quick to point out he’s not afraid to make any throw. However, his brand new offensive coordinator, Dirk Koetter, has a totally different mindset. (more…)

Bucs OC Dirk Koetter explains why America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, may have an easier transition to the NFL than other drafted quarterbacks.
Joe knows many fans go nuts when they hear or read this: The spread-option offense, so popular in college, is killing the NFL.
First, look at the roadkill of spread quarterbacks littering ditches outside NFL facilities. For every spread QB that makes it, it seems a half-dozen or more are thrown aside. (more…)

Bucs center Evan Smith sure didn’t seem happy fielding questions about America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.
Formerly Evan Dietrich-Smith (he just goes by “Smith” these days, saying “Dietrich” was a “pain in my [arse]”) sure doesn’t seem to like rookies. Or at least talk about rookies. (more…)

Bucs OL coach George Warhop stated rookie left tackle Donovan Smith will have to beat out Kevin Pamphile for a starting nod.
If the Bucs regular season kicked off this week, newly drafted left tackle Donovan Smith would be a backup.

Only the haters and knuckledraggers worshipping at the altar of Woody Hayes are tired of hearing about America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.
