Jameis Winston Begins To Grow Up
Gonna be a few Bucs comics these next few pages. I happened to see this particular story before the JPP one. Rest assured, I already have an idea there, just didn’t have the time to get it finished by today. So let’s take a break and talk some Jameis since we may not have much chance left.
This is the make or break year for Jameis, right? It has to be.
Jameis managed to sort of survive the Fitzpatrick curse. He got cursed and replaced a couple of times, but in a rare change of pace he managed to get his job back. I can’t confidently say he beat it, because he did indeed get benched and we haven’t seen how this year will play out. But Fitz is on the Dolphins now ready to fuck Josh Rosen and Jameis, presumably, will be the starter for the Bucs. But this is a severe short leash situation. I actually love the Bruce Arians hire and feel that Jameis will probably thrive under that system…it depends on Jameis himself. Jameis has proven to be the immature doofus we saw in college still in the pros. He’s far from inspired the team. He still obviously has the talent but it’s not coming together and if it doesn’t this year, it probably won’t.
I feel like I already wrote that about last season but I guess a new coach changes things. Arians might be exactly what Winston needs to turn into the star, but it also puts Winston in the position of “deliver, or you’re gone”. Arians isn’t tied to Winston like Koetter was. Arians can tell Winston to eat shit at any time and it won’t endanger his job. Unless maybe he tells Winston to eat shit in favor of Nathan Peterman. That would be the level of mistake needed to make Arians look bad in his first season with Jameis.
This past week he did a thing where he had a golf ball hit off his head (see link above). He had a helmet, and the golfer is known for trick shots, so honestly I don’t have an issue with it. But let’s be honest: when you read the headline of “Jameis Winston had a golf ball hit off his head”, the biggest surprise is that he did it this safely. He seems like the kinda guy who would absolutely go “HOLD MY BEER”, stick the ball on his head, and dare his friend to hit it. In fact I wish he had done that. It would have been far more interesting.
COMIC UPDATE:
House stress is still very high and we are currently negotiating on one. There’s a decent chance we take it, and if so, there is an even better chance my updates will get sporadic and such over the next month as we scramble to get everything set up at our current place and move. Seriously this is exhausting.
Good luck with the house stuff!
Can you blame Jameis for embracing his inner Florida man? Maybe that’s all he’s needed all along: escape from Florida.
Speaking of Florida man, there was an interesting article the other day about how Bear Grylls almost broke Drew Brees’ right hand when Brees was wrestling an Alligator. This was the first time either part of that story had been told, but it sounds like being in New Orleans so long has finally gotten to him and he’s gone native.
Good luck with the house Dave. When I read “Jameis Winston had a golf ball hit off his head” I was picturing the torture scene from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
Thank you for making that Aryan pun.
I am happy for you on the move. I’m sure you will give us plenty of good content once the season starts and you have to suffer through the Giants season anyway.
You think moving is a pain for you? I’m betting you don’t have some 7,000 hardback books to move.
No one asked
Well, if you’re going to do a move and have sporadic updates you could not have picked a better time. Good luck with house stuff!
Jameis Winston needs to have a breakout season so that the Saints miss the playoffs
Honestly the Falcons are probably in better position now that they finally drafted offensive linemen despite that being their biggest need for the past 4 years. Rookie OL are better than the homeless people they had playing there the last few years.
As a Kangol hat lover, I’m disappointed that that is not a Kangol hat.
