2018 was going to be the year where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would find out if they had a franchise quarterback.
The plan from the get-go was to have Jameis Winston take over after serving his suspension as the starting quarterback. Unless Ryan Fitzpatrick led the Bucs to an undefeated start, head coach Dirk Koetter likely planned on handing the keys over to Winston. The team would be his.
With the starting job in hand, Winston had the chance to prove that he is the face of the franchise. Winston has shown to be the opposite through his four starts in 2018.
