Mike Freeman’s 10-Point Stance: Do You Trust Jameis Winston?

1. On Jameis Winston’s future

The Buccaneers need to be asking themselves a simple question with quarterback Jameis Winston reportedly facing a three-game suspension following an NFL investigation into his alleged groping of an UberĀ  cheap nfl jerseys nike driver in 2016. And it’s one of the most important questions they have ever faced.

Can they trust Jameis Winston?buy nike nfl jerseys cheap

“They shouldn’t have trusted him before, and trusting him now would be an even bigger mistake,” one NFC team official says.

“The chickens are coming home to roost” for the Buccaneers, an AFC team official adds.

The answer to whether the Bucs can trust Winston has the potential to shape the future of the organization for years, possibly even decades.

You think this is an exaggeration? The Chargers didn’t fully recover from the selection of Ryan Leaf in 1999 until Philip Rivers became a starter in 2006. The Raiders’ selection of JaMarcus Russell in 2007 left the organization rudderless until Derek Carr stabilized it seven years later. There are numerous examples of this.

Just like there are nike nfl jerseys for cheapĀ  examples of what happens when a team gets it right. The Packers selected Aaron Rodgers to replace Brett Favre and, well, that worked out decently.

Trust is the warp core of a quarterback. A receiver must trust the football will be delivered to the right spot. A coach must trust a quarterback will execute the play. Linemen must trust that the quarterback called the right protection.nfl jerseys nike cheap

An organization must trust that its most important player won’t allegedly grab a female driver’s crotch after he steps into an Uber.

It’s important to remember that Winston was one of the most controversial draft picks ever. The Bucs selected him first overall in 2015, and teams stated privately to me and others in the media at the time that they would regret it.cheap nike nfl jerseys china

While at Florida State, he was accused of sexual assault and shoplifting, and he was caught on camera making vulgar comments on campus.

At the time, several NFL teams made it clear to me that they despised Winston. I don’t use that word lightly.new nike nfl jerseys cheap
