Embrace the Suck Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/02/the_10_best_quotes_from_jameis_winston_at_his_nfl.html I think I'd pass if he is there at 6. On reports he's overweight: "A lot of people thought I was fat, but I'm proving everybody wrong, you know what I'm saying? I look good, and I know it." The 10 best quotes from Jameis Winston at his NFL Combine press conference His opening line: "I want to let you all know, I know I've made mistakes, I know I have a past, but right now it's about me moving forward and earning the trust of all these 32 teams out there." On how his throwing shoulder feels (it reportedly needed additional medical attention): "I've got the same shoulder I had the past two years at Florida State." On what he tells teams during his Combine interviews: "I have to earn your trust. I can't talk about the situations or anything like that in the past. But what I can do is prove to you, and let you watch me grow into being the face of your franchise." On his football future: "I'm a young man, and now I'm going to the next level to take a grown man's position, and that's important to me." On the competition between him and Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota: "This is not no competition just between me and Mariota. Because one thing about me, I plan on winning the Super Bowls in the next year, so it's going to be Jameis versus Peyton Manning and Jameis versus Tom Brady. I want to be viewed like that. After all this combine stuff, you're not going to hear no more about Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. But I want my name to stay relevant for the next 15 to 20 years of my career." On how he'll prove he's worth it to teams: "My actions. We'll see in a year. You can't predict the future, I can't predict the future. But what I can do right now is do what I need to do to be the face of a franchise." On what he's learned: "One thing that helped me realize about all my mistakes is getting a chance to be around the kids. I went to read at this elementary [school] in Tallahassee. When I see how those kids look up to me, I feel bad about myself. The hardest thing is just being real with yourself and just letting you know that you let somebody down." More: "I got so many people to inspire and I got so many little kids looking up to me, not only as a quarterback, but as a person, and I want to be that role model for them." On reports he's overweight: "A lot of people thought I was fat, but I'm proving everybody wrong, you know what I'm saying? I look good, and I know it." On whether being the first overall selection matters to him: "It's important to me because I know how hard I've worked, and it would be a privilege to get accepted by the Glazer family at Tampa. I know I have to gain their trust. ... I think it just would be a privilege to play in Tampa, just, period, with the Florida State fan base, and everything that I've been involved with in the state of Florida." On his goals: "I dream of being a Hall of Famer one day." Dom Cosentino may be reached at dcosentino@njadvancemedia.com. Follow him on Twitter @domcosentino. Find NJ.com Jets on Facebook.

Gastineau Lives Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/9376/jameis-winston Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman said Florida State QB Jameis Winston has done "incredibly well" in Combine interviews. In fact, Freeman said "incredibly well" was a "dramatic understatement." NFL Network's Ian Rapoport added Winston "has impressed." A supremely talented quarterback, Winston's off-field concerns are the biggest red flags on an otherwise stellar resume. Judging from these reports, Winston has gone a long way to alleviate those concerns this week. Feb 21 - 10:27 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when does questioning a quote from Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman constitute a league wide conspiracy? When the word incredible is used and it's claimed to be an understatement it's usually coming from a talking head that's talking from their ass.

In this specific area, nowadays the agents and prospects have a general sense of what is going to be thrown at them and spend the better part of a month coaching them up and practicing.

Embrace the Suck Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Dude you are so off on Winston. Lol quote me on that Based on what? On the field it seems most people say he has all the tools. My worry, and that of others, is his ability to stay on the field. Some of his off the field antics could be chalked up to being a typical dumb college kid who doesn't always think about what they are doing and doesn't mean any real harm. However, there are other off the field instances that warrant serious consideration. If not for a friendly police dept. who knows where he may be today. He knows this and so do his handlers which is why he gave the "I've changed and you can trust me speech". But why worry, right? It's not as if the NFL suspends players on a regular basis and even if they did the NFL would never suspend a potential star/star player. http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/jameis-winston-incidents-timeline-091714 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/04/16/sports/errors-in-inquiry-on-rape-allegations-against-fsu-jameis-winston.html?_r=0 The NY Times article highlights some pretty blatant cover up action down there in FL.

Sure, right. I'm sure no team was paying attention. Tampa was probably scouting punters while he was being interviewed by the media. Particularly since he is the potential face of the franchise and will be interviewed often. People are always being judged particularly by those who are about to pay out millions of dollars and risk their own careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bealeb319 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 He has been doing a great job at the combine and a lot of teams have apparently said he was great at their interviews.

Jet9 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Not a fan of Winston, yadda yadda yadda. But can we make a rule that no one can post Bleacher Report stories anymore? It is easily the most amateurish 'sports media' site on the planet. The writing is for sh*t and their analysis isn't better than anyone else. A total sh*t website.

Mogglez Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 That was great winning those meaningless games facing steelers, phins and titans. Lamenting those meaningless games is ridiculous. Anyone with a lick of knowledge about the draft knew that this would happen as long as he kept his noise clean. He was always the better prospect. Jameis is going first overall barring an off the field incident from now until draft day and we never had a realistic shot at the first pick.
