Jameis an MVP candidate?

Winston seems to be getting the attention of all the NFL not just the Tampa bay fans. Adam Schein of NFL.com wrote a piece describing his sleeper picks for NFL awards next year and take a wild guess who his sleeper for MVP was. Yes, none other than our Tampa Bay Buccaneer franchise QB Jameis Winston. Here's a little reason why Schein feels this way.

I believe Winston, who enjoyed a very solid rookie campaign, will take an even bigger step forward. The game slows down in Year 2. He's on the same page with Dirk Koetter, who not only remains Jameis' play-caller but now assumes head-coaching duties. The coaching change will equal more wins in Tampa. I think Winston will post a very impressive touchdown-to-interception ratio, as his rapport with the receiving corps (particulary third-year man Mike Evans) continues to improve.

Winston has always been known for having an amazing football mind and was able to understand Jimbo Fisher's complex offense at Florida State which is known for being a more NFL style of offense. Schein makes a good point in saying that the game usually slows down in year 2 of an offense as Winston started in Florida State after sitting his first year as a redshirt freshman. He was able to get the mental game down and just needed to apply it to game situations. Winston is officially in year 2 of now head coach Dirk Koetter's offense and seems primed to make that big leap. Winston not only has a great mind but he is also a genuine leader and Schein went on to discuss that further after revealing what fellow buccaneer Doug Martin spoke of Winston.

 "He's already great. He sets the bar high for himself. And he's already established himself as a leader," Martin told me. "He always wants to get better. He's the first guy in the building setting the tone, wanting to get better. It shows the type of character he is. It trickles down to everybody else and it's contagious. We are all accountable to each other to stay at that level [that Jameis establishes]."

Jameis may not be ready for the NFL MVP just yet but he surely is our MVP right now. I and no one else can put a cap on how good Winston can actually be this season as he is in control of his own destiny and he looks as if he's going to make the most of every opportunity. Jameis no doubt has all of Tampa's attention now its time to grab the rest of the NFL. Go get your victories Jameis!
