National Champion, the youngest Heisman winner ever, 2x Conference Champion, 26-1 as a starter, NCAA Record most TD's thrown as a freshman, lead the offense that scored the most points in a single season ( NCAA Record ), broke multiple school records previously held by National Champion and Heisman winners Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke, undefeated vs Miami and Florida, part of a 29-game winning streak...one of, if not the best College Football QB of all time
kalebpost20 stop it dude just give the man his props man he's one of the best if not the best QB's of all time ! and to be getting beat down the way they were in the national championship game against auburn and against all of the punk as racist commentators and sports writers as well as the haters and the racist on social media ! to deal with all of the negative energy and still come back to win the national championship is a story book finish . # this is the kind of finish Legends.are made of
despite being a mariota fan, i have to say that jameis is by far the most nfl ready quarterback. best thing i see with him is is pocket presence and how he goes through his reads, even on the run he is still going through his reads. But honestly what it will ultimately come down to is how good their o line will be in the nfl. jameis always seemed poised in the pocket because his line was legit in college. kind of the same with mariota and their up tempo offense. O lines make and break quarterbacks, especially in their first year. But i like both quarterbacks and i hope it works out for them
WInston could be a hall of famer with the right pieces around him. He is just a natural with playing within the pocket and he plays with excellent anticipation.
Bugsy0508 trust me that will not matter with a player this good. No way in hell the steelers will have a chance at Winston. Remember Cam Newton? He had off the field issues too, but he was still taken 1st overall by a team in desperate need of a QB and has done great
He's not afraid to let the ball go. He's going to make a lot of throws most rookies wouldnt make..which is going to have some positive and some negative results.
Jameis Winston. Born January 6, 1994. Played high school football for the Hueytown (AL) Golden Gophers. Played college football for the Florida State Seminoles. Won the 2013 Heisman Trophy. Drafted #1 in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Well, at least he doesn't have to travel too far to his next job. Best of luck.
Outside of Andrew Luck, this guy is the most NFL ready QB in a long while. His football IQ has been said to rival Peyton Manning. Cannon for an arm, great accuracy, and plays in a more complex pro style offense (EJ. Manuel said Fisher's offense was more complex than the Bills). Great size and he has enough mobility to evade pass rushers even on the level of Beasley. Can throw on the run, fit passes into tight windows, and has great touch (ex. he can lay the ball over an LB and under a safety). He looks like an NFL QB in these highlights. The Bucs already have the twin towers at WR, so he should be ready to put on a show year one.
this dude is legit. throws with anticipation DOWN THE FIELD... alos throws with great touch, tough as nails, very athletic, improvisational... accuracy is there... negatives are his feet at times and he gets a little sand lot with stuff but wow. this dude is legit!
This guy is the real deal....pure definition of a QB.. i wouldn't care if he was blue, green or tangerine, all i know is he has that "It" factor that can't be taught
He's my fantasy team's backup behind Kendrick Lamar. I heard somebody said off my TV that they hoped that they could muster the courage that Winston has after throwing his fifth interception. I got $500 riding. Week 17. Truth is I love watching him. If you don't know how you know.
You guys may disagree but I believe Jameis Winston and Leonard Williams the DL out of USC are best 2 prospects in 2015 draft. Besides off the field, my issue with Winston is methodical slow delivery and he will force sum throws in very tight windows. Other than that best college QB NFL ready since Andrew Luck
Jim Walker To be clear, of the five listed, only three were drafted by the schmucs, and those were mediocre QB's...at best. Point being, the schmucs are adept at choosing mostly-terrible, if not serviceable, QB's. Historically, they're miserable talent evaluators. I hope Winston goes to a team willing to put some talent around him. That ain't happenin' with the schmucs.
before the college season ended, i was praying that MM would enter the draft because my buccaneers have the first overall pick. i was also praying that they didnt choose JW. since then i have completely changed me views. i was biased as an oregon fan. theres something that JW has that MM doesnt. he has the confidence that you need for the nfl. his decision-making skills are all there, and weve seen him throw into tight windows. we havent seen MM throw into many windows, and im not saying that he cant-im just saying that we dont know if he can. MM could be amazing in the nfl but we cant know for sure yet because we havent seen him in a pro-style offense. JW has proved himself and i will be ordering my JW tampa bay jersey soon.
GO NOLES!!!!!! im a die hard FSU fan jaylynn ramsy is my favorite player it sucks that we lost to Oregon but you have to give them credit for going undefeated for 2 years and jameis winston getting a heiseman trophy
Number one overall pick in my mind. No question. Playing in a pro style system and not being a dual threat run all over the fucking place player like Mariota helps him. Nobody would question this were it not for the off the field bullshit.
The next Cam Newton. Reminds me of him because of his play and off field issues but it turned for the best for Cam maybe same with Winston. Winston might be the number 1 pick
It's weird how so many people want to call Jameis a rapist when he was investigated and tried 3 different times local , federal and the FSU student council and was found NOT guilty of anything. He was NEVER charged or arrested for rape. However a lot people think he did committed a crime? We're you there when said crime was committed ? NO !
Man I'm speechless that kid made 30 yard throws falling down! Not to mention Oregon expose jamies Winston carrying that that team on his back n shoulders! How many come from behind wins? 6! That's awesome! That 35 reminds me if a slow Jason witten! The football God! Jamies Winston is the sh#t!
Here's why he is better 1-Gpa average 4 2-Football IQ is great 3-He threw in tight windows 4-He can win 5-He is a leader Stop holding this boy for the past You guys here investigate and say he's guilty just stop it already.. Stop denying the fact that he is a good person, a great football player, and a leader. Give him some credit damn.
my amatuer scouting report i would say [rating key: (p=poor, bavg= below average,avg =average ,a.avg= above average , g=good, vg =very good ,e=excellent , g=great ,s=surerior )] ; arm strength (vg),release (vg), feet(e), mobility(vg), pocket awareness (g), arm mechanics (bavg), field vision (e) ,intangibles (e), i see a nice ability to move in the pocket with a great ability to get out of the grasp jameis has a pretty big hitch in his arm mechanics but his release is not slow so he has the ability to make up for his deficiency he seems to make the right decision most of the time however he got away with some pretty terrible reads I'm a little concerned about this at the next level that said if jameis has no off field issues i believe he has the tools to succeed but needs to tighten up his mechanics and clean up his decision making and he could be a star !
doug martin is a pretty good running back, last season was kinds shitty but the year before that he was a top 5 back. winston will have a good rb and two elite 6'5 receivers. the bucs offense is gonna be pretty good if their o-line can hold up so winston can make the throw
Grown man in a FSU uniform. Lots of tight throws (some a little aired out.) Decent instincts as to sliding and getting rid of the ball when pressure is approaching. Looks like linebackers are either missing too often when he scrambles out of the pocket, who knows maybe these guys don't want to tackle this guy full force. His pocket presence is shaky and he has a habit of first reads then of course scrambling out the pocket/exposing himself to DE's and LB's. He'd be a perfect project for a franchise willing to wait to groom him for at least a year. Sounds unrealistic but starting him late in the season would be ideal also. The NFL will humble this guy just like others.
seems like every year the buccaneers has high expectations to become a playoff team, but year after year they find a way to disappoint, hopefully this will be the end, and they choose Jameis Winston
I like his ability to run, but he was to know when to run out, slide and still look down the field while he is scrambaling, if he can work on that he can be a bigger threat and injury free. I also notice that their was little if any pressure on him, he's o line looked really good in this video. His accuracy seems to be a little off, some pass looked under thrown, I wanna see him under some real pressure and see how he passes the.
Johnny Manuel in college was a beast and everybody expected that the Browns got a steal look at him now.Jameis Winston tho everybody thought that's how he would end up and no w he's helping out the community and is good in the NFL and should've won rookie if the year cuz Todd gurley sucks but whatever
hisaoawesome That is the throw that caught my eye too. There are a lot of impressive throws in here where he fires it in there but that touch pass to the only spot in the end zone was really impressive.
I really wish Cardale Jones entered the draft. I honestly think he would have been the most successful qb from his class in the nfl. Over Mariota and Winston.
Chill, he wants to finish all 4 years of college and then go up for the draft. Besides 2 heisman trophy winners are going up this year, QB position needs some chill this draft.
Winston is probably the best QB prospect this year, but overall I just don't see him becoming anything more than a just above average NFL QB. To compare to the best QB draft in recent history (2012) he doesn't have the pinpoint accuracy and leadership abilities that Andrew Luck has, or the athleticism and deep pass abilities that Russell Wilson has, or even the legwork that RGIII had when he was effective. If Winston was part of that draft, he probably wouldn't get picked until the 3rd or 4th round at best.
I strongly disagree. Winston is a pocket-passer to start off, so you can't compare him to mobile quarterbacks in the aspects that you are. Watching this highlight video, Winston has incredible awareness; he always has an idea of what he wants to do with the ball. He is aware of his own capabilities, as in when to throw the ball, how to throw it, how fast he can deliver it, all in which he does in an amazing amount of time for a college quarterback. He has great poise in the pocket, along with being elusive and mentally tough (being able to escape a certain sack and then keep the play alive). He has the physical traits you like for in a quarterback for height and weight, and can absorb hits. What makes him the best quarterback in recent years is his confidence and awareness of his own abilities. That being said, good quarterbacks in college that win lots of games tend to get into a mindset where they feel like they can't lose, and when they make it to the NFL they have a tough time accustoming to losses and moving forward from them, and that's where you can question his character (which as we know is 50/50 at best lol). In my opinion Winston is ready to go and will thrive in the NFL.
TheBand360 I wasn't comparing him to mobile qbs in particular, just saying that I don't think he has that one factor to his game that sets him apart as a great NFL qb. He's a good pocket passer, but not a great one imo. His confidence and poise as you say is undeniable, but he's also reckless with the ball. Many of his passes into traffic in this highlight reel would have gotten picked off by any NFL-grade safety or corner. His overconfidence is going to make him think he can make the same plays, and have the same kind of time in the pocket, in the NFL. And that's just not the case. Take Andrew Luck as an example of a great pocket passer. If you look at his highlight reel from his college career, he puts the ball EXACTLY where it needs to be. He doesn't throw the ball into traffic and hope that it's his receiver, and not the defense, that comes up with the ball. That's not to say he doesn't have the skills to be a solid starting qb someday, but it's going to take a lot of work both on and off the field (like you mentioned, his character leaves a lot to be desired lol) I just don't think he's gonna be as effective as Luck, at least not his rookie year, maybe not ever. It's gonna be a long road for Winston either was, I guess we'll just have to see what path he takes.
I really like your response! I will say though his confidence is not to be confused with arrogance, he has an impeccable understanding of his own skills and delivering the football exactly where it needs to be. Like you mentioned, I did see a few plays during the highlight video where I was like ehhh that was close and could have been picked off in the NFL maybe, but what's going to make or break Winston is his ability to bounce back from mistakes and maintain his poise and confidence, because he is a starter in this league for sure. He doesn't have incredible arm strength, it's probably just a bit better than Alex Smith, but it's his timing and delivery, he understands what he is capable of and doesn't force plays to happen. I was watching a few days ago on the NFL network Cam Newton was chatting on the sideline like oh my god I don't even know how I made that play; with Winston, he knows what he is capable of. If the Buccaneers don't draft him it would be the biggest mistake in franchise history in my opinion. Winston can step into that offense and lead them to a winning record, and in the NFC South that's all you need to win the division haha :P
TheBand360 Haha, that's true about the NFC South, and since McGown got released today, we can pretty much count on Winston being a Buc in 2015. As for everything else, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Everything is basically just conjecture at this point, but I think we both agree that he has the raw skills to be a good QB. How he develops those skills will determine whether he is great or average.
not related to the video really but at 0:58 you can sing "denver, denver broncos. denver broncos. denver denver denver denver denver" to the lead violin that kicks in. you could also sing houston texans or something like buffa buffalo bills buffalo bills buffa buffa buffa buffa buffa
I think Winston will be a much better pro than Mariota. Mariota is a pure read/option system QB and takes most of his snaps in the shotgun. The only thing about Winston that scares you off is that he maybe be a prima donna, but the NFL caliber talent is there. This guy can be a Donovan McNabb type player, who was a top 5 QB at a point of his career. At worst, a Steve McNair who was one of my favorite players.
If the Bucs don't take him for some reason the Titans have to draft Winston. Closest thing to McNair and almost nothing like Vince. He's hard to bring down and he's tough as nails. Only serious off-the field problem is the rape accusation, but after three tries, he's never been charged. 26-1 is no joke.
Mariota didn't run a pro style offense and run first QBs don't always have much success in the NFL. If Winston can bring out the way he played in his first season than he can be a better NFL QB than Mariota and Winston in general is more NFL ready. Mariota has a lot of developing to do.
