I dont know if thats ballsy or stupidity 

[Dustin]

"NFL player has confidence"

[Qwiz]

He isn't even catching a whiff of the Super Bowl.

[Jaric]

So do 31 other teams.

[Dustin]

He isn't even catching a whiff of the Super Bowl.

So you think the Texans draft him?

[Colts_Fan12]

Good confidence I'd rather him say this then "I'm gonna suck next year and miss the playoffs"

[BOTT]

"It's gonna be Jameis vs Peyton Manning or Jameis vs Tom Brady"

Nice to see he has already gone 3rd person

[Qwiz]

So you think the Texans draft him?

Nah, maybe Andrew will PICK him to start some competition in Indiana. Winston is a criminal, he'll fit right in.

[HtownColt]

If that's not the plan of any NFL player especially a QB then you shouldn't want him on your team.

Plus what else is he supposed to say? That's always the ultimate goal

be humble and not cocky. nfl is a prilvage

[HtownColt]

Yea and that's why his mindset is a SB. As it should be for any player

[krunk]

Obviously he knows he's already going to Tampa.  He mentions two quarterbacks that are in the AFC.

Yes they are the NFL standard, but he has no way of playing against either of them unless he's drafted by an NFC team. Clearly he knows Tampa is his destination.

like jj watt is an angel. he yells at his grandma

it's neither ballsy nor stupid. What's wrong with a player saying he plans on winning a Superbowl? isn't that everyone's goal... what's wrong with him saying it?

would we be having this discussion if manziel said it

He gets impatient with his mom too when Texan ice cream is involved

[bestQBever]

If manziel had said that during the combine I would have said the exact same thing. Not really ballsy, definitely not stupid.

[-JJ-]

Stupid. Confidence doesn't come from being boisterous.  He's not even in the NFL yet. He's not even a rookie yet.

 

But hey its a free country- have at it.

[amfootball]

Yeah. I prefer a young guy to say how eager is to join the league and learn the playbook, the speed of the game, work hard, etc. To just come out and say I am going to win the Super Bowl seems ridiculous.

[Bobbycovert]

Agree completely.  Confidence is a great thing but have the self awareness to be confident about what's in front of you (the adjustments and learning curve you face as a rookie).  Talking about next years super bowl comes off as more delusional than confident.

[southwest1]

Did Mr. Winston get advice from Geno Smith who said he was gonna take the Jets to the Playoffs right after he was drafted by the Big Apple? LOL! Jameis you're being a fool man. 

 

There's no way Tampa's going to the SB this season or next season. That's not enthusiasm sir. That's open mouth & insert foot.

 

Just chill, finish the Combine, get drafted, learn your new playbook, & try to lay low okay with no more off the field issues. Crawl before you run son. 1 step at a time. 

 

Johnny Manziel said he "wanted to wreck this league" too & it turns out that he was a wreck for Cleveland & himself as well.

 

The best QBs just go to work & exaggerate nothing Winston. Brady, Manning, Brees, Rogers, & Luck...Remember that please. Thank you. 

 

1 final piece of advice Winston: If HOF QB Warren Moon offers you any advice, just shut the hades up, listen closely, & follow his words of wisdom to the letter.

Manning said it himself if Polian did not draft him he was going to kik Polians butt.....you WANT that attitude....you want that onfidene...you just want your players to ontrol that...especially if he is your franhise player......How soon so many forget....Also save me the whole omparing Winston to Peyton how dare I speeh......ya'll for the most part should be able to decipher the ontext of this post

Yeah, you're right even though SW1 enjoys talking in 3rd person sometimes just for laughs, BOTT is 100% accurate when he infers that engaging in 3rd person as a rookie QB is a dangerous tightrope to walk across especially when you fall off or hit that inevitable wall. Every rookie hits it too kid: Manning, Big Ben etc. etc.

don't work he said in another thread edited*

Gavin, 

 

Peyton said that "If you don't take me" line, 'I'm gonna kick your butt for the next 10-15 years" behind closed doors during private, 1 on 1 interview sessions with Jim Irsay & Bill Polian. Not behind a live mic at the beginning of the Combine...A huge difference my friend. 

 

There are times to display confidence & times to hold back & give generic, politically correct, non-controversial answers. Jameis Winston hasn't learned the difference yet apparently. 

[southwest1]

Oh, I don't know, maybe the fact that he hasn't played a down of regular season football yet where the LBs & defensive ends are much faster at closing the gap than he's used to at the next level. 

 

I can't wait to see Elvis Dumervil or Terrell Suggs sack him & give Mr. Winston a dose of humility. 

 

Use that line by Arnold Schwarzenegger in "The Running Man" movie, "Hey there cutie pie, one of us is in deep trouble" everytime you sack him too.

Its not working on my keyboard for some reason or another

A differene sure but still very bold to tell a GM that , Peyton still told a GM who had not even drafted him yet "if you don't take me"

Very true Gavin. It took guts to say that & made Bill raise of eyebrow of intrigue no doubt. 

 

I get your point about needing to have bold confidence to lead a franchise which is right on the money, but my only point was the timing of it. Save your QB enthusiasm for your interviews to say brash stuff not wide out in the open for mass media consumption. 

 

I read ya though Gavin. Just save the over the top stuff for coaches & GMs in isolated rooms of the hotel where the interviews are conducted that's all I'm saying. 

 

Every interview I have ever been involved in, asked the following question: Why should I hire you or tell me a little bit about yourself? That's where you slide your confidence & commitment to winning into the conversation in some form or fashion as an NFL athlete IMO. 

[buccolts]

Contrived and disingenuous.

[southwest1]

Off topic: Hey buccolts, your signature made me laugh. However, make no mistake, women have shall we say "selective hearing" too. Trust me. Enough said. 

[ReMeDy]

Hey, that reminds me of the beginning of this video from Blaine Gabbert:

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

"It's gonna be Jameis vs Peyton Manning or Jameis vs Tom Brady"

Nice to see he has already gone 3rd person

 

He did that as a response to a "Jameis vs Mariota" at the combine question. He wasn't being a dick about it, he was just stating a fact. Every week, he's going to be compared directly against the opposing teams QB especially if they're "elite". Assuming he goes #1, every week it will be a marquee match up between Winston and fill in the blank.

Winston vs Luck should be a media circus then

[HarryTheCat]

There are better odds for me marrying Kate Upton than for Winston ever winning a Super Bowl.

[BOTT]

I miss people asking you why you use 3rd person. Always made me laugh

[BloodyChamp]

I'm a Seminole fan right...you could argue that both the best Seminoles quarterback and worst Seminoles quarterback are in the NFL right now. The strangest part about that for me though is that I can't decide which 1 I hate more.

[Pape]

There have been a few second year qb's to win a super bowl, but never a first year qb. Winston and Tampa Bay break that cycle? Highly doubtful. But hey, Smith made it to the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman, so maybe he just might win it all.

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

That's not entirely true. Jamies will have an opportunity to suit up for an NFL team, two of which compete for the SuperBowl every year.

I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but I'm pretty sure you haven't done anything in life that would grant you the opportunity to even take a selfie with Upton, let alone marry the girl.
