BucsDraftGeek47 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Quote If Arians is the choice, they re not going to draft a QB until Day 3 if at all. He isn t coming to groom a rookie, no chance. ^ this quote by ravishingone got me thinking I've never been a Jameis fan, like REDandPEWTER i was a Mariota fan When Jameis has been good, I've rooted for him because it affected my team in a positive light When Jameis has been bad, I've criticized him heavily, maybe sometimes more than i should have , i can admit it My biggest problem with Jameis ever since he came out is his accuracy, which i believe is something you cannot fix in QBs, and then later his turnovers WIth all the goods and the bads of Winston, i can objectively say that he is a starting caliber QB in the NFL fluctuating somewhere in the range of 12-20 ranked among other QBs Jameis Highs are so high and his lows are pretty damn low, but it evens out now for the record if it were up to me i think i would still try to trade him and see if i could get a high pick, i honestly do not think that Winston is a QB who can win it all and thats why i want to move on but its not up to me and i can live with him for at least one more year (with the hope that he figures it out because he is still so young) i saw a stat that compared Winston to Peyton Manning because they have identical stats at this point in their careers, let us just hope that Winston can turn into what Manning did , afterall i can say that he DOES have that potential with his talent , his weaknesses are in his mental side of the game thoughts?

bucsfan333 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Apparently his weaknesses are his defense. There are eight QBs in the league who have been more efficient overall than Jameis has in the last nine years. There are seven (of 52, I think I counted) who have a worse win percentage. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Shorty Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 That is unreal. ^ If anything it proves how good Jameis can be, or would be viewed currently, with simply a better defense and no improvement in how he is currently playing. I mean this literally is one of a kind. No other QB is this much of an outlier due to their defense. Rediculous. Well thank goodness for Todd Bowles.

sryan66611 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Serious question @BucsDraftGeek47 I know you say you preferred mariota at the time of the draft but now that everything has unfolded would you prefer him now?? and I do agree its all mental for Winston and we will find out how he can do in a different system/coaching.

Caaddy24 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This is why stats are incredibly misleading. A LOT of his yards/touchdowns are in garbage time, with the defense playing deep cover 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing a 15-yard completion on third-and-20 from your own 20-yard line is worth a lot less than a 7-yard pass on third-and-six from midfield, even though the former looks better in the boxscore. Expected Points Added – EPA - tries to solve this dilemma. Using historical data, you estimate what the average next score will be - that’s a team’s “expected points”. Compare expected points before and after a play and the difference is EPA. EPA is like the exact opposite of what you're claiming it to be.

Oh no, yeah for sure, the expected points and average next score, I forgot about that. That's a good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 You gotta take into account Jameis' age too when evaluating him. Remember, he's literally just turned 25... He's just coming into that age where players start to take that next step in their career... I think we're going to see a better version of Jameis under BA...

bucsfan333 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The point of EPA is that it doesn't care about stats. It only factors in plays that give your team the best chance to score points; getting at least four yards on first down, getting at least half the yards needed on second down, and converting third/fourth downs. Like that snippet I quoted said, a 15 yard completion on third and 20 doesn't cut it. Converting a medium third down does. But 1/1 for 15 yards looks better than 1/1 for seven. It also factors in turnovers, I believe. So despite Jameis being first or second in turnovers since he came into the league, he's still top 10 in terms of QBs that give their teams the best chance to score points. Give him a defense that doesn't give up like 25 ppg (over his short career) and we have a chance to make the playoffs every year, despite his turnovers. If he can eliminate a lot of his stupid turnovers, we have a chance to do something once we make the playoffs. This is all from 2015. But... Tom Brady is the only QB with a winning record all time when his defense gives up 21 points (60-46). Joe Montana was .500, which is second best. Peyton Manning was 65-83. Favre 54-95. Marino 35-82. Brees 42-79. You get the point. The win percentage for EVERYONE 25%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We debate about how bad the oline really is and don t put much stock into how that group effects QB play. I m glad they brought him back under a new coaching staff. It can still go bad this season, but even with an average defense I don t think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either becomes what he can be or he continues to turn the ball over far too much and gets replaced. We could have won more games while he tried to figure it out but this defense has been abysmal.
