I have a couple brutally honest questions for the podcast:
1) Is McCoy severely overrated? I've never been a McCoy hater and there's little doubt that he's been the best player on our DLine for years (not exactly a high bar) but I no longer see a difference in our DLine when he's in or out. I'm not just talking about this year as it's been a down year for him or about this last game as we got 5 sacks without him, it feels like a couple of years now. Is his play worth the hit to the salary cap for this team?
2) I am constantly hearing that Jameis is making plays that not many QB's in this league can make when people are talking about his high ceiling and taking the good with the bad, what plays exactly? Sure, he slips a sack now and again which can be exciting but a bunch of QB's do that. At the very least Brees, Trubisky and Mayfield all had slipped sacks against us that are similar to when Jameis does it. He can't hit a deep ball to Jackson to save his life. He throws high balls to his tall receivers and they usually make the catches. What are the plays being made that lead people to set his ceiling so high?
I've been really questioning if Jameis is the guy I thought when he was coming out of college. Jameis will make this exciting play where he scrambles around for 15 seconds before finding a WR and everyone goes nuts but I wonder if a better QB would have found the guy after 3 seconds for the same results but without the fanfare. When Fitz was in, he knew where he was going with the ball and knew he was getting the ball out at the end of his drop which had excellent results for the most part. It's not the same way with Jameis which can lead to some exciting plays like mentioned above but also to some terrible plays as well.
