Jameis Winston Is a Major Bust, and the Bucs Must Move on from 2015 No. 1 Pick

Jameis Winston should no longer be viewed as the future of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization.

The reason is simple: He's exactly the same quarterback today as the one who came out of Florida State when Tampa Bay selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2015 draft.

Winston left the Seminoles program as an elite prospect, yet many thought his off-field issues were the biggest obstacle toward eventual professional stardom. While those issues have continued to derail his career and led to a three-game suspension to start this season, it's his on-field performance that has created cause for a concern as well.
