Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston must be an an optimist. After all, all gunslingers have to be, as the pitfalls that come with negative thinking at that position would have them going bonkers.
Anyway, according Jameis Winston, the Buccaneers will soon have be great, but it is contingent on something he believes to be important.
“In terms of identity, talking about everybody as a team because it’s a completely new team like every year,” Winston said, via Pewter Report. “We just have to find that. We have to find what makes us click, what makes us go and we’re trying out different things. Eventually when we establish that it’s going to be great. We’re looking forward to establishing that sooner than later, obviously.”
It goes without saying that Tampa Bay isn't exactly having the type of season it was hoping for. With an overall record of 2-5, Winston's “sooner than later” portion of the quote rings truer than almost any part that came before it.
For what it is worth, Winston isn't hammering the coaching staff for trying to run the ball, or passing the ball, or whatever with the ball. To a degree, it is relatively “quarterback speak” that he is doing, while trying to send some positive vibes out there.
With enough games left in the season for the Buccaneers to find that identity Winston is yearning for, it will be interesting to see what — if any — changes loom as the season progresses. As for Winston, he just needs to continue to develop. He has all the tools to be special.
