The Winston question

The Winston question
By: Heston Curry  2/27/2020

In 2015, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers used their first overall pick to draft quarterback Jameis Winston out of Florida State University.  At the time, many saw Jameis Winston as the future or the next big thing in the NFL.  5 years later, it is the post season of the NFL's 100th season and Jameis Winston is at the end of his contract.  In the 2019-2020 season, Winston led the league in passing yards, threw for 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions and now a big question surrounds the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  Where will Jameis Winston go?
As we all know, there are most likely going to be many teams in the NFL starting fresh with a new quarterback.  As it stands right now there will be 13 quarterbacks entering free agency from NFL rosters including Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers, and Tom Brady.  And in a time of total uncertainty all we can do is make speculations, so here are 3 NFL teams in my opinion that would take Jameis Winston on their roster based on the teams talent and coaching.

1. New Orleans Saints
Obviously, this list is all based off of my opinion and my speculation.  But the first team that comes to my mind when I think landing spots for Jameis Winston is the New Orleans Saints.  The Saints have a very tough decision with whether to let Drew Brees go or to sign him on another big contract.  I think it is the perfect landing spot for him overall.  The team has a really good coaching.  A whole bunch of talent and an offensive line that can actually hold their blocks,  I personally think in that type of quarterback situation it would be very foolish not to consider a guy like Jameis.

2. Miami Dolphins
Now as a Dolphins fan, this decision would be a dream come true.  The Miami dolphins were pretty bad last season and have been very mediocre for the last few seasons.  But if the Dolphins were to make the decision to go from most likely Tua Tagoviloa, a quarterback used to playing on a talented team to taking Jameis Winston,  I have a feeling for some reason it would be the best decision the Dolphins owners and executive owners have ever made.  Call me crazy or psychotic.  I think Brian Flores's system would benefit Jameis Winston in a huge way.  I personally think if the Dolphins wanted to win they would jump on Jameis Winston the day the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announce him a free agent.

3. Carolina Panthers
Carolina has almost all of the resources to be one of the very best teams in the NFL, they have an all pro running back and receiver in Christian Mccaffrey.  They have a very solid group of wide receivers, and a very good offensive line, but there are many speculations on the quarterback decision.  Cam Newton next season would be a high injury risk for the Carolina panthers.  This in my opinion would be most likely a temporary solution because of  Cam Newton but with the hiring of Matt Rhule at head coach I think if Carolina were to look at the future and it being without Cam Newton, I think this would benefit Carolina greatly if you are looking into a couple of years into the future.

Why I disagree with the NIL rule

  As a lot of people know, the NCAA recently passed a rule stating that players will be allowed to profit off their name and likeliness.  To most people, this is a good thing, a big deal, finally NCAA athletes will be able to profit off of their names and make extra money for college things like that.  Me, as someone who was a high school athlete and has been a college football fan my whole life, as someone going to college,  I think this is wrong.  To me, selling your name and letting athletes make money.  In a lot of ways, I think it ruins the sport, because after all, college sports are not about the money and glory things like that.  Thats what pro sports are supposed to do.  College sports are supposed to be about passion, not about pay, or having a job, things like that.  In my opinion, college athletes are paid in scholarships and college aid, and how players do in and on the field to earn that money.  With the NIL ruling, college...

MLB talks about possible solution to have a season

Major League Baseball might give use something to watch after all By: Heston Curry 4/8/2020 After recent talks, major league baseball officials have had talks on a possible solution accepted by high ranking health officials to play at least part of the season. Major League Baseball has come up with a possible solution to play at least part of the major league baseball season in a undisclosed stadiums without fans in Arizona.  The season if it does happen will be a shorter season with possibly a 14 team expanded playoff . While there is still plenty of uncertainty on how this solution will play out, there is still hope that this could be the first step to establishing at least some sort of normalcy in these times and most importantly, give me at least something to write about for the first time in weeks. Now back on topic, the solution is not quite 100 percent yet, but how it would work is all major league baseball teams will travel to Arizona t...

A NFL draft unlike any other

A Draft unlike any other... What would have been a grand spectacle in Las Vegas with the iconic Bellagio fountains in what would have been a fantastic backdrop for the 2020 draft to all the sudden becoming an unusual and unprecedented draft where the players stay at home in quarantine as they hear their names being called at home.  There will be no walking on a stage, no hugging the commissioner, no crowd, and no watch parties for any of the teams in this years draft.  This years draft in just about every way possible is different from any other NFL Draft, in times where we have to be resilient and work together as a race to get through these tough times we have been going through for the past month.  But even as all of this chaos happens throughout our planet, there is nothing about this draft that will change it from any other, the stage will be as big as ever, the stakes are still high as always, and when the names are called, the players will still get that once ...
