*[Can't gain access to my old password, so posting under a new (yet similar name)]*My Allegation: Lovie Smith and the Bucs' Organization didn't just throw the last 2014 game away (Saints) to secure #1 draft status, they threw the WHOLE SEASON AWAY (starting with FREE-AGENCY). All for the rights to secure WINSTON in 2015!!!Do I have your attention???Is the theory really that ludicrous??? Just in case it is, let's explore... ;D Before we can get into particulars, we really need to start embracing just how SPECIAL of an Instinctive-Athlete/ Competitor/ Leader/ Hard worker-in-his-Craft/ Committed/ AND (Even though much maligned) HOW GREAT OF A CHARACTER Winston is...Mariota is very very very good, but Winston is very very very GREAT... (please bear with me Mariota fans. Ridicule me AFTER you've read my whole diatribe...).The STUBBORN AMONGST YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IT, but in a later post in this thread, I will give you EVIDENCE that Jameis Winston was BUILT FOR US BUC FANS (AND I MEAN THAT SERIOUSLY!!!).We've been wishing 30-40 years for a Franchise Quarterback, and now that he's virtually here (in whatever form he comes in), we now want to balk & complain??? Really???YOUR FRANCHISE QB IS FREAKING KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR, YET YOU REFUSE TO ANSWER????? Are we that beat up psychologically that we can't recognize gold from tin??? :-[Talk about his Southern-speech all you want, but his High School 4.0 GPA got him accepted ACADEMICALLY to Stanford (not his athletic ability). He turned it down and went to FSU... (Stanford (The school Andrew Luck went to) could care less if you are a great athlete. They won't consider you if your grades aren't proper. Don't even waste their time...). YET THEY ACCEPTED JAMEIS WINSTON...I assume you've seen many of Winston's collegiate football highlights, but let me remind you that this guy we're speaking of EXCELLED in TWO SPORTS AT Florida State University...Football and BASEBALL. He has committed to football. He's a SPECIAL GUY... DEION SANDERS PLAYED FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL AT FSU TOO...For those that remember, how upset were you when first FSU Heisman-Winner-QB "Charlie Ward" decided to play BASKETBALL with the NY KNICKS instead of going to the NFL???? Well now you have another TWO-SPORT FSU attendee THAT WANTS TO PLAY FOR YOUR TEAM AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SHUN HIM OVER BULLCRAP???REALLY???FAKE RAPE CHARGES (we'll go into detail regarding that like never before later in this thread)...IF YOU CALL Jameis a rapist, I automatically will call you a fricking IGNORANT FOOL and back myself up with FACTS... I like ALL Florida Teams, (never committted to FSU), so I am not biased...Jameis Winston is young and inexperienced, but he is probably smarter than you... http://www.uatrav.com/opinion/article_7d87e7f6-69f9-11e4-8742-e7264234aa95.html I only bring up the above article to make people realize that Winston's instincts may be OFF THE CHARTS... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMyapO4HIVQ Can Mariotta make the same claims??? (No knock on Mariotta... but yeah, a knock on Mariotta... #can'tcompare...).Why do people ASSUME Winston is not better than Luck??? Maybe he isn't better right now (after all, Luck's dad was an NFL QB just like the Manning brothers don't believe me??? Look it up.)...Buc fans, Winston's Dad was not an NFL QB, nor was he ever in the NFL...Yet Winston is being compared to Manning AND Luck coming out of college as far as his football IQ...18 interceptions in 2014??? Well that's what happens when you have rookie wide receivers that don't run their pro-style reads & routes right. As a result and as QB YOU look like the fool... But You've never heard him call them out publicly have you??? Even when the world was looking for him to mess up, he never put his ROOKIE receivers (or anyone else) on the hot seat...But he can't be the FACE of this Franchise??? Really???[more to come later]...
