Good piece on BR about Winston's interceptions: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2575680-jameis-winstons-continued-interception-problems-poses-a-concern-for-future-star
Peyton Manning threw 28 interceptions during his rookie season.Since then, Manning has turning into a Hall of Fame quarterback but also acted as a dismissal about any concerns that arise around rookie quarterbacks who turn the ball over. Jameis Winston is that rookie quarterback right now.When Manning threw 28 interceptions as a rookie, he averaged an interception every 20.5 pass attempts. He had averaged an interception every 41.9 attempts in college. Through four games this season, Winston is averaging an interception every 19 pass attempts, a similar rate to Manning during his rookie season.However, Winston can't fall back on his college play to point to his ability to take care of the football.During his two seasons at FSU, Winston averaged an interception every 30.4 attempts. That included an incredible 18 interceptions on 467 attempts, one every 25.9 attempts, during his final season. Most significantly, Winston's turnovers were a result of mistakes he repeated over and over again.Winston's biggest issues were his ball placement and his inability to recognize underneath coverage. So far with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, those issues have remained prevalent.
The article breaks down his INTs from yesterday and also offer up the sobering assessment that the issues that plagued Jameis about ball placement and recognizing underneath coverage have bitten him repeatedly in the first 4 games of NFL career.At some point, this needs to stop if Winston wants to make it to Year 2 as a starting QB.
