       Jameis it IS!

       In the history of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, three of their
       quarterbacks have a combined three Pro Bowl appearances: one
       each for Brad Johnson, Jeff Garcia and Trent Dilfer. Exciting
       list.
       That’s 39 seasons of mostly below average to flat-out terrible
       quarterback play. How bad is it? Josh Freeman is third all-time
       in passing yardage in team history. Johnson, by most statistical
       measures and for being the starting quarterback on a Super Bowl
       champion, probably has to be considered the greatest Buccaneers
       quarterback. (The best quarterback to ever play for Tampa Bay
       was Steve Young, but Young was never good for the Buccaneers in
       large part because of a terrible supporting cast.)
       The Buccaneers hope their quarterback history started to change
       on Thursday night, when they made Florida State quarterback
       Jameis Winston the top pick of the 2015 NFL draft.
       A lot more has been said about Winston the person rather than
       Winston the player, and there will be plenty of eyes on Winston
       to see if any of his off-field red flags hinder his NFL career.
       But there’s a reason the Buccaneers selected Winston, and that’s
       to become the greatest quarterback in franchise history, no
       matter how low that bar has been set over nearly four decades of
       Bucs football.

       I am hearing lots of grumbling already,we need to give him a
       chance to see if he has changed.  I believe that D erric Brooks
       will ne a great mentor for Jamis and hope that will be the
       difference for this young man.
