There aren't many guys in today's NFL that play like Jameis but there is one whose career lines up almost identically to Jameis. Matt Stafford. While, maybe not elite, he's considered a very good QB and just a couple years ago signed the richest contract in NFL history.
Thru 67 career NFL starts:
Jameis - 111 TDs, 78 INTs, 19,399 yards
Stafford - 116 TDs, 77 INTs, 19,049 yards
Another possible similarity? The 5,000 yard club. An exclusive club with only 7 current members.
Drew Brees
Peyton Manning
Dan Marino
Ben Roethlisberger
Tom Brady
Patrick Mahomes
Matt Stafford
After averaging 316.5 yards/game to this point in the season Jameis just needs to average 295 yards in the last 3 games of the year to join this exclusive club.
Yes, Jameis has a turnover issue that must be fixed, but he's far from the only one. Plenty of the all-time greats had turnover issues early in their career. It's laughable to think that we should let him walk.
