Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Has Jameis Winston peaked? He’s thrown nearly as many interceptions as touchdown passes in his last year with the Buccaneers, frustrating head coach Bruce Arians to no end. Arians has a reputation as a quarterback whisperer but his first year with Winston could have shown him enough to decide that it’s time to pull the plug.
As luck would have it, Arians was on hand to see Bridgewater’s best game of the year, back in Week 5 at the Superdome. Arians watched Bridgewater outduel his own quarterback by completing 26-of-34 pass attempts (an absurd 76.47%) for 314 yards through the air, scoring four touchdown passes against just one interception. Bridgewater protected the ball well all year, but that big day might have left an impression. On some level, maybe Arians thinks he can get Bridgewater to play that aggressively every week.
