Jameis Winston had a pretty good start to his career in which he was pretty much rookie of the year and the main reason the Bucs won 4 more games in 2015. Winston got the opportunity to go to the pro bowl in which he got to see how some of the elite quarterbacks go about being the best. One thing he picked up on is he needs to be in better playing shape if he wants to be one of the elite guys. So he wasted no time and has been working out non-stop including having workout sessions with Tim Grover who has trained guys like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. With Winston now being in the best shape of his playing career, Qb coach Mike Bajakian thinks this will allow Jameis to focus more on his technique and be able to be more consistent throughout the season per Tampabay.com.
"A couple things, number one, everything in this league is about durability and being able to play as many snaps as possible,'' Bajakian said. "Last year, we were fortunate that he was able to take every snap. But by being in better physical shape, there's a better chance of lasting the season and avoiding injury.
"Number two, when you're more physically fit, fatigue doesn't become as much of an issue. In the quarterback position in particular, that's not always the case as much as it is with receivers and defensive backs or offensive linemen. But still, being in better physical shape can allow him to maintain a better base, play with lower hips and better feet and just allow him to focus on the details of his technique.''
This should allow Jameis to improve on his foot work and become more in-tune with throwing mechanics. In other words, this will mean better consistency with his accuracy which is the most critical attribute for a quarterback. Jameis is committed to being the best and now with his body right, he should just keep improving which is scary since he was pretty dam good last year.
