Jameis Winston as confounding as ever to evaluate, but road ahead gets easier

ATLANTA -- Moments after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, head coach Bruce Arians was asked if his glass was “half full” because of the win or “half empty” because quarterback Jameis Winston threw two more interceptions in a season marred by turnovers.

“My glass is full as hell. And it’s gonna get real full in a minute,” Arians said, drawing chuckles from the room.

Jokes aside, while Sunday was one of Winston’s better games this season -- he completed 64% of his passes and threw three touchdown passes -- he also became the first quarterback since Jon Kitna in 2002 to turn the ball over 100 times in 67 career games and the first quarterback since Deshone Kizer in 2017 to throw at least 20 interceptions in a season.
