The only problem the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had with Jameis Winston so far is that the rookie quarterback doesn't know when to go home.

"We have to kind of tell him when to leave,'' coach Lovie Smith said Thursday.Winston wasn't at Thursday's organized team activity because he is attending the NFL Players Association's Rookie Premiere event in Los Angeles. But the No. 1 overall draft pick already has done his work for the week.

Smith said Winston took double the amount of reps he usually would in Wednesday's session to make up for Thursday. Winston turned in his best day of practice so far, Smith said.

"For him, there's been a lot of individual work, but having a chance this week to go against our best defense and things like that [has been good],'' Smith said. "We have a long ways to go. But we like where he is right now.''

Teammates have talked about how Winston rarely is seen without his playbook.

"He gets better every day,'' tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins said. "He's picking up the offense very fast.''

Smith also said he's seen daily progress from Winston.

"I've seen marked improvement, like it should be,'' Smith said. "He's showing more and more comfort in the pocket. There's a lot you ask a rookie to do, but Jameis is picking it all up, just like we thought he would. Right on schedule.''

Thursday's practice was the only one Winston will miss, and he will return to the team next week. Smith said the Bucs haven't held back with Winston.

"He didn't have his training wheels on or anything like that,'' Smith said. "We're kind of throwing him out there and he's handling just about everything we've asked him to do.''

It isn't Winston's football ability that is the red flag.

​I was gonna say the same thing.  His football IQ and ability to make every throw is incredible.  Like I said before, it'd be like having Greg Hardy as a QB, when he's on the field, he has the ability to be a true gamechanger, but it's what he does off the field that will ruin him.

​Are you sure?  Because 18 int's in college last year screams red flag to me.  

​Not really, he lost a ton of playmakers on offense and was forced to single handedly keep them in the games a lot of times last year (how many times did they come from behind to win).  Again, I'm not worried about him making a throw, I'm worried about him doing something completely idiotic and getting suspended for 12 games.

His off the field stuff is so overblown. He will be fine.

Most of it. Lying to cops in a sexual assault investigation though......that one is concerning. Coupled with the fact that some people just don't learn their lessons. His pattern shows that he might be one of those types. For the most part though, I agree, most of it is dumb kids stuff that he will grow out of.

      Family drama (Cam and Smitty)

      By mav1234 · Posted

      He can say what he feels, but he's not saying "the previous year, the team wasn't very good" he directly called his teammates out and in a way that is flat-out not true. "You are your record"? Oh ok, he's only had 3 winning seasons, but in my mind he isn't a loser, and I bet he isn't in his either - cause football is a team sport and wins and losses are on the team, even when one really bad player (Jimminy Pickles) can basically screw over everything.  And this comes on the heels of his thing about the MVP, which is fine, but also selfish. His teammates consistently went to bat for him... Just feels like he's more about himself.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Good point--I think this draft is great for us at this time--At the top of the draft, the DT (DEs/NTs in 3-4) are loaded.  The Edges are deep.  We need to double dip there--hoping to move back so we can add three players to that pool.  In free agency, if I were Morgan, I would focus on DBs and  ILB--fix the back end of the defense.  If he signed a S, CB, ILB, and TE, it would be cost effective.  In the draft, DE, Edge, and WR should be the priorities.  After that, OL Depth, QB depth, DB depth, RB depth.  My Free agent Targets:  TE: Juwan Johnson, Saints.  29, had over 500 yards with Saints. S: Julian Blackmon, Colts.  He will be one of the top free agents--gonna cost us, but not like an edge or WR. ILB: Tyrel Dodson, Dolphins.  80 tackles on just 854 snaps--under 27 years of age. CB: Mike Jackson, Carolina.  He is 28 and had 3 picks and was on the field at all times.  68 PFF score. NT:  best available for Evero's system.
