Jameis Winston: Shoulder Weakness....

[NewColtsFan]

Medical testing at the combine reveals Winston is having some shoulder weakness.

 

Not the kind that might require surgery,  but some therapy....   but that may mean not throwing at the combine.

I read/heard yesterday that Winston,  who is typically listed at 235,  played the semi-final game vs. Oregon at 254!

 

Then,  showed up about a month or so ago to begin his training for the combine at 248.

 

Now he's 231.    Great that he dropped the weight,  but quarterback is not the position where you want the weight to be going up and down like that to such extremes.    254 for the biggest game of your life?    What are you thinking?

how far would he fall then

#1

#1

 

Most likely, but Mariota is much closer to being the #1 pick than most people think.  All reports are that he has had possibly the best interviews/white boards ever.

[Nobody]

#1

I can't see it. Mariota just seems like the obvious pick there.

@AlbertBreer: Winston confirms he had an MRI done yesterday, as @mortreport says. Adds he checked out fine. That he'll throw tomorrow seems to confirm it.

I don't know anything. I just think Lovie is going to go with Winston.

[COLTS449]

I think Lovie will ultimately go with Winston too. BTW, I liked it when Winston said "People thought I was fat too, but I look good. I know I look good" LOL. I like the confidence and it translates onto the field as well.

[loudnproudcolt]

From the guys who know Lovie and the kind of QB he wants, Winston is the QB he would pick. He is NFL ready, and according to Lovie, all the behavior problems everyone has worried about have been checked on, and said to be of no concern to the Buccanneers, at least that is what is being said publicly. Remember, a lot of smoke right now, but I do believe that they will go with Winston.

 

Mariotta may be a great guy, so his interviews should have gone well, and white board is not the real field. I don't know if he will be good or not. He compares to Kaepernick to me, but my problem is after the year Kaepernick just had, name one spread QB who has made it so far in the NFL. It is so different. I just could not take the chance with the first pick on him, regardless of character and intelligence which he has. We will see. I don't believe TN. is going to take him either, but they may fall in love with him after the athletic underwear contest tomorrow coupled with the intangibles. Who knows, TB may too after he runs a 4.4. RGIII ran under a 4.4 if I remember correctly. After that hit by Ngata, he will never run that fast again, which is my other reservation about Mariotta.

Barring a freak injury or an incredibly boneheaded mistake between now and Draft Day, there isn't anything that is going to get in the way of Winston going #1 to the Bucs.

[Nobody]

I don't know anything. I just think Lovie is going to go with Winston.

Well he is the least qualified person on the planet to assemble an offense. I don't know who their OC is but he needs to be a great one to build a decent team there.

I dunno. Greg Gabriel, who worked with Lovie in Chicago, said he would be very surprised if the Bucs took Ainston. Then again, getting fired tends to change one's outlook.

Everything Lovie and everyone else associated with the Bucs have said about Winston has been complementary. They seem to be selling him to their fan base, actually, to whatever extent that's necessary. Lovie kind of defended him, actually. Licht said they're comfortable with him, then said that they have a favorite already.

 

We'll see what happens, but I tend to think it will be Winston.

[cmgww]

But Kevin Costner said that no one came to Winston's birthday party....

Lovie is high on character; their OC has a very close relationship with Oregon's coach and also likes the spread; there's a connection with the qb coach too.

@RapSheet: This is true. Has impressed RT @mikefreemanNFL: To say Winston is doing incredibly well in combine interviews is a dramatic understatement.

More proof that NFL guys are largely meatheads

[HtownColt]

In a story published Saturday, Bleacher Report‘s Mike Freeman quoted an unnamed evaluator who raved about Winston’s “[football] IQ.”

Said the evaluator: “I think he’s probably the smartest player I’ve ever interviewed.”

Freeman also reports that Winston had been compared to Peyton Manning from a football intelligence standpoint “several times” in the reporter’s discussions with club officials.

I liked everything I saw from Famous Jameis today.  Accuracy, arm strength, and competitiveness were on full display.

[Colts_Fan12]

Think if he stays in line dude will do good just play the game and stay out of trouble

[BleedBlu8792]

Mariota will need A LOT of help from an offensive standpoint. Unless he goes to an offense that gives him a one read or go style - Eagles -  he's going to add up to that LONG list of Pac-whatever QB busts. He's never really had to sit back and break a defense down, especially not with the defenses in the Pac-12. Winston is the obvious pick here. Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans now have someone who can get them the ball.

Like you said prior to the Combine krunk, Lovie Smith has Jameis Winston already scribbled on the draft card at least in his head anyway.
