Spoiler

Not gonna lie, the kid looks like a black Kenny Powers

 

Doesn't look that bad for a QB. Obviously something that he could work to improve. Reminds me of Ben Roethlisberger.

 

Jared Lorenzen approves this message

It's enough that teams are going to ask him about his eating habits to make sure he isn't another Jared Lorenzen or someone like that.

But it's not enough to concern teams, IMO.

Believe it or not I think teams are more concerned when the QB takes his shirt off and he's rocked up like a stud.

 

Aaron Rodgers

 

There are signs all over his body from a lack of gym time and poor eating habits...I've been commenting on it all last season and I didn't need to see him shirtless to know it was poor..

Imo, this is what you have, a kid who has played two sports his whole life, pitcher in baseball, Qb in football, in baseball he ain't spending anytime in the gym because thats the pitchers mentality, but in his mind because he's playing two sports he's doing enough from a physical standpoint..which is bs...in baseball all he does is sit on his *** for 7 innings and take some cuts with a bat..

He's obviously neglected his physique and he doesn't have the symmetrical balance genetically to mess around his whole career, I can see that he's underdeveloped in the teardrop part of his quad, his calves, his lats, and I can see where fat will distribute on this physique, in five years if he keeps on his current pace he will be walking around with belly and *** fat cause that where all his bad weight goes, it doesn't distribute symmetrically like on a dion Jordan..

It's no secret I don't like the guy, and this is one of the reasons why, but he's a highly skilled qb and can get away with it for now because of his youth, maybe he'll change and get it, but watch out, this dude looks like he's grown up on Grammys southern cooking, hard habit to break, and there really isn't any excuse that a 21 year old prof athlete should look this way, it's pure laziness,uneducated and a lack of will power..

 

Did not disappoint

 

Imagine Rodgers wearing a tight elastic band around his waist and inhaling before a throw. Just sayin.

 

Merely pointing out that most quarterbacks in the NFL today aren't as athletically built or gifted as someone like a Colin Kaepernick or Marcus Mariota in terms of physical traits. I think Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Rodgers, both Mannings, etc. have proven that they don't need to be to be damn good.

So, while Jameis isn't exactly a Greek God in terms of physical prowess, does he really need to be? He's pretty good as is.

 

I don't think that's necessarily true. Nor is it necessarily true that Winston's overweight.

 

I don't think anyone's questioned Winston's work ethic in regards to being a student of the game. Nor have I heard anyone comment negatively about him regarding this picture.

 

This, from your source, is at the bottom of the page with comments from George Whitfield saying he looks bad because the leash and says he's in good shape now. Seems akin to the weird Eddie Lacy picture from Packers training camp.

 

I think winston is just a natural, cerebrally and mechanically, so he probably hasn't had to work to much on the craft as the average aspiring pro athlete, he also plays a position where he can get away with it..film rat and not a gym one..

personally, I can't find a lot of weaknesses in his game or his presence amongst his teammates and its effect..he's legit blue chipper, but he rubs me the wrong way on many levels..His way of showing a lack of humility and self awareness disturbs me..

 

he soft..but whatever..he's gonna be 1 or 2.

 

Merely pointing out that he's got a similar build to other "soft" QBs like Brady, Peyton Manning, Rodgers, etc. I think the picture with him wearing the leash is overblown.

 

its overblown because it makes him look like his belly is bigger than it is, however, he's soft ro, theres no question about it, i can see the years of poor nutrition and gym time..better take on a new lease..

 

How many QBs in the NFL have better physiques than Winston? I would guess not more than 5-7.

 

So you've run the gamut from elite (Wilson, Luck) onto to downright bad (Dalton, Manziel). That means what, exactly with respect to Winston's physique? His play?

 

It was rhetorical. And no, I'm an Ohio State fan.

 

not going there cause thats not what I was talking about, the point that does stand is what does his lack of understanding about how to take care of his body mean in the long term or about his maturity.

 

Also note photo was taken in mid-January.

Relevant because that's probably what he's going to look like when he's comfortable, but it's not what he's going to look like at the Combine.

 

He's young enough where a 6 week plan can get him looking alright, but it won't fool me, there's one thing you can't hide when it comes to work ethic, and that's your most important tool, your body.

 

dude can play qb though, if it were any other position id be harder, but it aint..its just one more thing for me not to like him..lol

 

My biggest issue with Jameis Winston is the 3 AM phone call you will get when he gets himself into trouble again, and he doesn't have Florida State and the State's DA covering things up for him.

 

and this kind of stuff is why it all ties together, heres why, if you have a player that is a complete gym rat and understands the nutritional aspect of his body, thats a major part of his focus and pride, when you don't care about both aspects, you have a lot more time on your hands, and when it comes to some of the red flags attached to winston, that raises the risk factor..

 

For as many times as you've stated it's not a big deal, I think you're trying to find sneaky ways of making it into a big deal.

 

its not a big deal because the guy can play and he's a qb..

 

It's all fun and games until you get that 3AM phone call saying your star quarterback just robbed a Krispy Kreme.
