America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, Named To The 2016 Pro Bowl
January 25th, 2016
Get your hula skirt, young Jameis.
It’s off to Hawaii you go!
America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, was named to the 2016 Pro Bowl roster today, per BSPN, the network broadcasting Sunday’s Pro Bowl.
Tom Brady pulled out of the game with an injury after failing in the AFC Championship game, and Jameis got the call to replace him.
What a great honor and learning experience for Jameis. Yes, Joe realizes the Pro Bowl is little more than an exhibition and three days of easy practices and parties for players, but it’s a great chance for Jameis to mingle with NFL elite and pick their brains.
Jameis is an eager sponge in those types of situations, and this can only be a good thing.
Well done, Jameis.

that awkward moment when the rookie you told to calm down n have fun is sitting next to you on the plane to Hawaii.
January 25th, 2016 at 9:58 pm
WOW!! I am so freaking happy for Jameis!
Get a taste of the Pro Bowl, my dear….there will be plenty more of them for you!
GO BUCS!!!
GO JAMEIS!!!
January 25th, 2016 at 9:59 pm
It’s like the season has completely turned around since Lovie left…. It’s seems too good to be true????
THIS IS NOT A BUCS LIFE, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE USED TOO!!!
Next the Titans give us the first pick in the draft for Glennon!!! C’mon, it could happen!
January 25th, 2016 at 9:59 pm
This is just awesome. Good for him
I said during the season you could make an argument for him to the pro-bowl. Being a 21 yr old rookie and dragging this team kicking & screaming to 6 wins — he had a helluva year and it’s just the beginning
January 25th, 2016 at 10:00 pm
HELL YEAH!!!
GO BUCS!!!
January 25th, 2016 at 10:00 pm
A Buccaneers Pro Bowl QuarterWhat??? What’s that???
January 25th, 2016 at 10:04 pm
87 is going to need a wrist brace after seeing this news
January 25th, 2016 at 10:07 pm
I would have loved to have seen his face when the call came…
I am getting so excited about the next season..omg…
January 25th, 2016 at 10:09 pm
More proof that we are heading in the right direction. If Kwon had not been suspended, you could add another player to Hawaii. Gonna be fun watching the Pro Bowl. GO BUCS!
January 25th, 2016 at 10:10 pm
That’s what I’m talking bout! The young man is a beast and this is well deserved! 4 Bucs goin to the PB!
January 25th, 2016 at 10:11 pm
I can see Jameis leaning over to a.j. Green. “So when do you become a free agent?”
January 25th, 2016 at 10:15 pm
Jameis, you’re definitely somebody in this league.

Lots of good stuff in the comments today

Even though a lot of players probably declined before they asked him, I’m still happy for Jameis. Like Joe said, it’ll be a good learning experience, if nothing else. And of course it’s another chance for him to play his beloved game of football.
January 25th, 2016 at 10:31 pm
SWEET. Congrats JW!!!
January 25th, 2016 at 10:32 pm
That’s just awesome.
January 25th, 2016 at 10:32 pm
I think “some people” would be happier if Josh McClown got invited to Hawaii. The Tampa 2 mob throwing shade left and right. #damnshame

Good for Jameis. How many “pro bowl” QBs are there this year?
I did the research 10. The original 5 all got replaced. Jameis is lucky number 10
After looking at the roster, I found it odd that Julius peppers and Von Miller are taking up spots in the middle linebacker position. Pretty sure neither of them EVER line up as middle linebackers… Also I found it curious that you have 5 of a lot of positions. If there are 2 teams then you have an uneven number of players per position. Like the 5 QBs. Why do that? 1 team has 2 QBs and the other 3? Seems kinda stupid if you ask me.
Also 5 QBs but only 8 WRs? So each team only gets 4 WRs… The whole roster is screwed up. Pro bowl is a joke. I’m glad we have 5 Bucs representing, but the layout of the whole thing is pretty messed up.

CALLED IT IN APRIL FOOLS(NO PUN INTENDED) THE SAVIOR THE ONE THE ONLY FAMOUS JAMEIS IS IN THE PRO BOWL YEAR ONE. IDC HOW HE GOT THERE. HES THERE. PERIOD. Not even gonna mention his counterpart cuz this is all about FamousJameis
January 25th, 2016 at 10:36 pm
Awesome job Mr. Winston.
And tip of the hat to Lovie for his part in drafting him and sticking by him after the shaky start.
Live long and prosper Mr. Smith.
Damn sure seems like we got some talent. Now if we could only stop sucking…..
January 25th, 2016 at 10:37 pm
Jameis taking Brady’s spot literally … and possibly a figurative torch passing as well? I think Jameis will accomplish many of the things Mr. Brady has accomplished.
Will be awesome for Jameis to rub elbows with the game’s elite for a few days, great experience even if he was 10th or 15th choice QB.
January 25th, 2016 at 10:44 pm
I literally though that this was one of Joe’s clever headlines as click bait at first. Lol, I am soooo happy that I was wrong.
January 25th, 2016 at 10:46 pm
Well done JW. Would be awesome to add Rookie of the year and clutch player of the year. Vote for JW on nfl.com

Good way to see this…I agree..
January 25th, 2016 at 10:49 pm
Best part about this is that the best of the best the league has to offer is gonna get their first glimpse at Jameis in a social setting. It wouldn’t shock me at all if becomes the center of attention and endears himself to those he hasn’t already endeared himself too. How many All-Pro’s are gonna wanna come to Tampa after this weekend?
January 25th, 2016 at 11:19 pm
Congrats Jameis – a fabulous rookie season ends in Hawaii. How fitting. How could ROY honors not be forthcoming?
Its a good opportunity for Jameis to do some high end FA recruiting…
January 25th, 2016 at 11:23 pm
JaMarcus Russell 2.0 you guys
January 25th, 2016 at 11:27 pm
Couldn’t be happier for Jameis and the fans. I love seeing so many players representing Tampa in a pro bowl, especially at a key position like QB.

Gerald Mccoy is like, “Crap, Crap, Crap, this was my team for so long.” Advice to a very talented Gerald Mccoy, watch out for the kid in Hawaii, and get on the Winston Wagon, your teammates have. It will probably benefit you.
January 26th, 2016 at 12:08 am
Congratulations Young Jameis !!
Should be a great experience for you – to be around a bunch of seasoned veterans.
Favor: Could you some that charm and charisma – to attract a few key free agents
Always Be Pitching ☺

What injury does Brady have?
“Bruised pride?”

Brady has butthurtitis
January 26th, 2016 at 12:57 am
I heard some people whining over other QBs that got “snubbed”
I don’t think they realize that Jameis is America’s QB.
January 26th, 2016 at 1:35 am
Pro Bowl Baby!!!
@ Joe….Please stop letting that fake tiny tim post under my name. 87 says change my name, etc.. but why??? I’ve been repping Jameis for far too long. I find it hilarious he is a pro bowler with no off the field issues. They asked should the bucs put his poster on the side of the stadium????? Hilarious!!! Oh yea…This the real Tiny Tim!!!!
January 26th, 2016 at 6:17 am
Man I’ve complained about the bucs almost as much as that forgotten douche on here but I must say , been watching this kid since his fsu days”wife’s an allumini ” and watching him play he brings “it” I don’t know what it is but he has “it”
January 26th, 2016 at 6:21 am
Thank you Koetter! Perfect Match!!!!

Right, how was the positive energy when JW is taking needless sacks and not recognizing open receivers?
Bucnut2 Says:
September 20th, 2015 at 5:26 pm
you guys are demented.
jw has big time issues that did not cost us a win today. Doesn’t mean his issues don’t exist. Let’s not forget that he looked OK against a bunch of guys who were driving beer trucks a week ago.

September 20th, 2015 at 5:33 pm
dabucs, I am not uneducated, the rest of you have homer bias. Had jw played at USC, none of you guys would have taken him #1. This guy has big time issues, slow release bad feet and limited field vision. You’l seen when we are drafting the BUCS next QB in 3 years
January 26th, 2016 at 7:35 am
DB 55 said it best and I’m still lmao while writing this.
January 26th, 2016 at 7:43 am
Congrats to young Jameis! Wow! Pro Bowl as a rookie!
January 26th, 2016 at 8:13 am
This article is a metaphor of me squatting over jameis haters and taking a huge dump. I told all of you Jameis is the best QB !!!!
January 26th, 2016 at 8:52 am
Ha! Now I understand why they teach the kids “everybody gets a trophy”.
January 26th, 2016 at 8:55 am
Not really sure how I fell about this, Doesn’t it feel like a Token selection? I mean did her really deserve it? Look at all the QB’s who got passed over. I really don’t get why he got picked, Publicity move? If I looked at his stats compared to the other guys below, I would consider turning it down. Just doesn’t smell right to me.

We’ve had several players added this year. I wonder what our total is?

“Not really sure how I fell about this, Doesn’t it feel like a Token selection?”
It was determined by votes…then as players had to withdraw, the next players on the list got chosen.
Fault the voting process.
The whole thing is a joke anyway. They can’t refuse, either. I think they get fined if they do.
January 26th, 2016 at 9:26 am
@ USMC-Buc
Everybody knows the Probowl is a popularity contest nowadays…As someone stated earlier Jameis has said more than once that “he’s nobody in this league yet” will I guess its official, he is somebody…Not bad for a 21 year old; my favorite part of his rookie season was how he silenced his critics; whether you love him or hate him, he’s exciting to watch…
Things didn’t work out for Lovie here in Tampa but personally I be forever greatful to him for giving us something we never had; a franchise QB…Thanks Lovie for seeing thru the BS and drafting (America’s QB) Jameis Winston…
January 26th, 2016 at 9:27 am
Isn’t the pro bowl based on votes, popularity. Not stats. Congratulations Jameis!
January 26th, 2016 at 9:30 am
If anyone is wondering, USMC-BUC is actually “cheapglazers” on PFT 😉
January 26th, 2016 at 9:30 am
the pro bowl is not as much of an honor as it is cracked up to be, but it IS a great chance for young players like Jameis to build relationships with high-quality players across the league. this is particularly important when it’s not easy to see what greatness looks like from looking around the locker room. there were probably more deserving guys (bortles, cousins come to mind) from a production standpoint, but Jameis certainly put in the work to not feel guilty about being there
January 26th, 2016 at 9:32 am
A new day has dawned in Buccaneer land, congrats Jameis!
January 26th, 2016 at 9:32 am
for warren sapp, the pro bowl was an annual recruiting trip\sales pitch of Tampa Bay. i think Jameis will have a similar mindset – last business trip of the season
January 26th, 2016 at 10:24 am
I know you’re saying this in jest, but this is honestly the best thing that will come from his time there at the Pro-Bowl. He’ll be our biggest recruiter there and hopefully, leave such a lasting impact on some of his teammates/opponents, that they will want to play with him.
I get your point, but remember, Pro-Bowl isn’t about stats. It’s pretty much just a popularity contest.
The All-Pro list is about stats.
January 27th, 2016 at 10:31 am
Has anyone thought that this might be a good experience for Jameis? No he wasn’t voted in but who cares. It gets Tampa and the Bucs some more spot light. I haven’t watched the Pro Bowl in 10 years but guess what?? I’ll watch it this year because Jameis is there. Steve Duemig is 2 faced to Jameis and Brooks and him pissing on the parade doesn’t help promote Tampa. Ask Duemig if ESPN offered him a chance to be on Sports Center if he would turn it down!!!
