When should Bucs start Jameis Winston and sit Ryan Fitzpatrick?
Eric Adelson,Yahoo Sports•September 25, 2018
TAMPA, Fla. – It might be the most complicated on-field dilemma in the NFL. And it’s about to get much more complicated.
Former No. 1 overall draft pick Jameis Winston is back from his three-game suspension and from the looks of it, he has been Wally Pipp-ed by the insurgent, veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick. Instead of wobbling to 0-3 without Winston, Fitzpatrick has become the only quarterback in NFL history to throw for 400 yards in three straight games. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-1 and Winston has been relegated to scrimmaging with old Bucs and FSU teammates at a local high school.
Head coach Dirk Koetter spoke with both players on Tuesday. He’s not revealing what’s next at the Bucs’ starting QB spot, citing a competitive advantage, but it’s not a leap of imagination to believe he’ll roll with the scorching vet on a short week with Khalil Mack waiting in Chicago.
“We do have a plan,” Koetter said Tuesday, “and both guys are aware of it.”
