So is Jameis finished in New Orleans?
- Thread starter nole96
- Start date
He’s had some tough luck with injuries since he got to New Orleans. Hopefully Dalton will struggle so he gets another chance. Otherwise he’ll officially be into the veteran fringe starter/backup phase of his career.
I don’t believe he’s been healthy for weeks. He’s been dealing with a back issue. Either way, if he’s done, he’s pocketing $21 million, so I think he’ll be alright.
He has four, get that, four fractured vertebrae in his back and played several games with them until he just couldn't go any more. If you've ever had a fractured back, you just can't Imagin the pain that causes. In addition to the damage to the disks.
I just hope he can get healthy enough to finish his career as a solid backup, I think the push for starting jobs is over unfortunately
No way. Look at some of the starting QBs In the league.
He should retire before he is too crippled at an early age.
And yet dalton is starting “over” him. Gotta think Jameis isn’t fully recovered.
Because he has always immature and still is. Plus if a younger qb can't beat out Andy Dalton? Yep, career over.
Any examples you would like to share about his current immaturity? The man has made $80,000,000 in salary. Why not wish him well?
He has not been healthy for weeks.
Where is Cooper Rush going? Nobody is signing him to be a starter.
Okay, maybe I mean to say "active" for weeks. Tomorrow will be the third straight game that he's active, but not starting.
I don’t think I said he would be starting, and I would almost agree with you, if not for the fact Carolina is starting PJ Walker and Washington is starting Taylor Heinicke.
It was reported this week that Winston fully participated in practice this week for the first time since week 1, FYI.
Yeah I think he is done, he may be done as a starter. He has been able to play for 3 weeks and the coach chose Dalton over JW. He needs to prove that he can win while protecting the ball, and it's hard to do that while on the sideline.
Its going to be more like Arnold . . . I'll be back.... if his back heals . ..he'll, he is only 28.
If he can get healthy and stay healthy . . .I still see Jameis with a gold sport coat.

As in HOF gold sport coat? I love your FSU loyalty, but he’s barely a starting nfl qb….
Doubt it, his wife is very smart, so is Jameis. Breon has her own business and is very successful, just as Jameis is ( multi-millionaire).
Is Erica your sister?

Do you have a link confirming four fractured vertebrae? The minimally invasive surgery to fix that, Kyphoplasty, is a one day recovery.
Clearly he was. What I don't get is he *was* hurt. Anyone watching him play the 2nd and 3rd game could see he was a statue out there and unable to really move. So, he gets benched for playing poorly while hurt, but Dalton can throw 3 interceptions healthy and remain at the helm? Just crap to me.
It's frustrating, but the reality is Dalton has been better. Not significantly better, but better. A 95.1 passer rating compared to 79.5 for Jameis. A TD/INT ratio of 9/4 compared to 4/5 for Jameis. Neither one has shown they can win games, but Dalton has proven to be slightly more dependable, although there's not a huge sample size. Maybe Jameis gets another chance, but it's probably going to take an absolute self-destruction by Dalton, or injury.
Your stats are meaningless to me because they include 2 of the 3 games he played - where he could barely move. He hasn't been given a chance to play healthy except the first game where he won (yes, it was a rough start). Also, Kamera was playing like crap the first 3 or 4 games of the season. They lost their best OL (LT) to Miami so the new OL hadn't really jelled yet. I could go on and on, but it sucks that he was never given a chance to play with a team that had some continuity and him healthy. We have no idea how he'd play now. No other QB would be benched like that for being hurt.
I do wish that JW had not played game 2 or 3. I honestly think that would have changed the way this all played out. Also -- anyone watching the 2 minute interview he did in London knows that this is (in part) punishment for him speaking out. He hasn't said a word since. Honestly -- he should have gotten on the plane to Colts HQ when they wanted to send it. NO didn't show him any loyalty going after Watson. Not sure why JW stuck with them. Sucks for him. Really.

Your comments are way off base and unnecessary since you know nothing about his life outside football. My daughter, an FSU graduate, met him during the pre-season, and he was very gracious and proud of his new child. You are a smart aleck and a bum for not listening or acknowledging the reason Jameis is not able to perform due to his latest serious injuries. If Jameis is able to recover from his injuries, he can still be a good backup and maybe a starter on the right team. Go NOLES! Go Army/CI-HUMINT/18th ABN Corps/1st Cavalry Div!
