Does it matter? Winston had a freak of nature 1st round pick, most QB friendly guy ever(Greene), maybe the best TE in the country, and a mix of elite recruits to throw to. Add Cook and an offensive line that will make a shite ton of NFL starts and you have a near perfect scenario.

Won't argue with you there. Benjamin is a great talent

We will see how he performs without Winston.

Exaggeration. O'Leary was good. But I'd say Winston made him look better than he actually was.

That's all speculation at this point. Currently, only three guys that Winston played with have been drafted and only one went in the 1st Rd.

Lost a lot on OL and no Kelvin Benjamin to bail him out.
You sure about that? Won't they have 4 drafted from the line this year?

And I'm not buying KB leaving as why he damn near threw the most picks in the FBS. Dude had a lot on his plate last year.

He did lose OL from 2013. OL is a unit and his 2014 unit was not close to 2013.

Having a massive ROY candidate WR to throw jump balls to definitely helped his lower his INT numbers a lot. That was his safety every play.

Look, I wouldn't touch Jameis with a top 5 pick, I'm just talking here.

I wouldn't take him because of his maturity and my belief he won't be a good "face of a franchise" like a top 5 pick QB should be.

His on the field performance isn't why.

ETA:

Although his turnovers and forcing of passes is certainly of concern, if he had Luck or Wilson's maturity level, I would write it off.

I don't really agree with any of that

And Jamarcus was very efficient as our QB in 2006. He was very damn good at LSU and not just because he was talented.


Jamarcus could have succeeded had he done the work, so let's stop the comparison. Don't try to push Jamarcus's failures onto Winston's shoulders just because they are the "same build".

From what I saw in a documentary, Jamarcus has been suffering from depression for a long time.

It's a lazy comparison. Only thing is common is size and body type.

Little less than boiling. I leave out the vinegar. Clouds the water and I didn't see much difference in keeping the egg together. It all about the timing. Too little time in the water is better than too much time. For me at least. I hate poached eggs with hard yolks.

Took me a few tries to get it down.

Busting the yolk is one of the simple pleasures in life.

Judging NFL busts by their contract size where every year created even bigger contracts is dumb to begin with.

I don't necessarily agree but I see the logic behind it.
