    Keep hearing all these rumors that Bucs are gonna draft Winston. But does anyone think there could be a good chance the Bucs draft Mariota instead?

    5% chance they juke and draft MM instead.

    I don't see it..

    He brings a huge fan base to Tampa and is quite frankly, a better QB.

    Who knows... in '06. Bush was considered the #1 prospect.. VY and Leinart very close behind.. Turned out Mario Williams going #1. Nobody can tell.

    Of course they could, have you listened to Jameis speak.... idk how long I could put up with that guy "leading" the show.

    But this is a moot point since he can ball as well as anyone...

    But yes it's perfectly possible they pull an okidoke and go MM over JW

    If they see Winston as a future bust, the boost that the fanbase gets from FSU fans will go away..

    Like Tebow with Jacksonville... Didn't want that.

    For Example: Vince Young. This board was booming when VY was having success.. Where are they now?

    If they feel like Mariota will win games, they'll take him. College fans will go back to watching college if their favorite player flames out, and in the long run, won't amount to much. You have to take what you consider to be the best QB, regardless of the College.

    Flacco came in with no hype.. and has done admirably for them.. Good NFL players will bring NFL fans, not bandwagon college fans.

    Jameis is clean.

    NFL employees an investigative team made up of private investigators and former FBI agents.

    If there was something to worry about, TB would know about it.

    The NFL and TB probably know more about Winston than FSU, Tallahassee PD, the media and the DA.

    I sure as hell hope so. If we got Winston that would be a dream come true.

    That did have something to do with them being able to hammer out a deal with Mario Williams before Bush.

    The Texans can talk about how they wanted to beat Peyton Manning and all that stuff, but I was watching some interview with Bush and he said he was in contract talks with the Texans the night before the draft and then all of a sudden Mario Williams was the pick.
