Well, that was unexpected. I saw a mention of it a few days ago but I didn't put much stock into it.

Jameis was one of the worst deep ball throwers in the league last year at 30.51% on throws 21+ 10 percentage points worse than Kirk Cousins.

 

[Terry Yake]

doesn't make much sense for either side considering winston sucks at throwing deep and that's all djax does

thought for sure he'd go back to philly

 

[snowden]

I am convinced that Jameis needs glasses or Lasik and it would help with his inaccurate throws.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I agree with that.

I'm guessing for the price, Philly wasn't serious about it, especially since they want Jeffrey.

Plus, they got Torrey Smith. Having Smith and Jackson would make no sense.

As a Bucs fan it was very frustrating watching Winston constantly missing the deep ball to wide open receivers. To put a positive spin on it though, he would always over throw the receivers so at least with Jackson's speed those throws may end up being catch-able for him

Evans, Brace and Jaccpot.... if Jameis can fix his deep ball issues wow what an offence.

Hes fine on short to intermediate routes. His deep ball is ugly because he just tries to use his arm. His feet and base are a mess on deeper throws.

 

[vendetta]

Still doesn't hurt to have a guy u have to worry about and stretch the field a bit.. maybe opens more space for Evans... I think it's better for bucks than for desean..

 

[sjsharks92]

Don't doubt that Jameis isn't a great deep ball thrower, but having a guy like DJax to stretch the field can't hurt. And who knows, maybe Jackson can help improve Jameis' numbers on those throws, it's hard to overthrow him.

Yup, this is a great signing for the Bucs. They needed another difference maker at WR desperately.
