Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jameis Winston takes the next step forward

In his second NFL season, Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback Jameis Winston has emerged as the franchise passer we all knew he could become. He plays in an offense that’s perfect for his skill set and he’s become an adult in Tampa.

The Air Coryell of Tampa Bay head coach Dirk Koetter is exactly the type of offense Winston needs to play in. Koetter has Winston stay in the pocket and deliver strikes down the field with those wonderful medium-long throws of his. Winston can be a Dan Fouts-level passer in the Air Coryell, but there’s one caveat: Doug Martin has to be a reliable running back.

Not having a running game ruined the Atlanta Falcons in 2013-14, when Koetter was Matt Ryan’s offensive coordinator. If Winston could win a national title as a redshirt freshman at Florida State, he can get the Buccaneers to Super Bowl 52. He’s on the precipice of being a perennial Pro Bowler.
