Bruce Arians believes the Bucs can win with one other quarterback

The offseason all the time makes for fascinating moments. Particularly for those who’re a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bucs are presumably coming into the franchise’s most necessary offseason since Dungy was fired, and a number of the main target shall be centered on what to do with Jameis Winston.

Ought to the Bucs apply the franchise tag or the transition tag? Ought to they signal him to a long-term deal? Ought to they let him stroll?

It’s an enormous resolution that can impression the franchise for the subsequent 3-5 years – and even longer – relying on what occurs.

The primary query that normally involves the thoughts of the individuals making this selection – particularly because it’s a quarterback – is whether or not or not the franchise can win with mentioned participant, or if they’ll discover another person to do the job.

Bruce Arians was requested that precise query by the media throughout Monday’s media availability and his reply was fascinating, to say the least.

“With one other quarterback? Oh yeah,’’ Arians mentioned to reporters on Monday. “We will win with this one, we will positively win with one other one, too…we’re going to have this protection.’’

Click on right here for the video of his remark. The query is requested proper across the 11:27 mark. Issues are inclined to sound/learn otherwise on paper, so I figured I’d present y’all of the video to assist achieve full consciousness of the scenario.

There’s a couple of other ways to have a look at what Arians mentioned, however on the finish of the day, please take into account that that is actually Day Two of the offseason. So much can change in the course of the coming months.

1) Everyone knows BA has swag and hubris. This might simply be the quarterback whisperer assuming that he’s received issues getting into the precise route and that he might plug somebody in at quarterback proper now and all the pieces would go simply high quality. I imply, he felt that manner about Jameis heading into 2019.

2) Arians’ particularly talked about the protection on the finish of the remark. Everyone knows how a lot a superb protection can assist out a quarterback, particularly a struggling one. He most likely believes that he and Todd Bowles are constructing an elite protection that may assist create alternatives and brief fields for anybody behind middle.

3) BA could the truth is imagine that he can do higher on the place. However that doesn’t essentially imply he’ll act on that attainable notion. Whatever the hypothesis, he did have one other fascinating in quote when referencing Winston’s interceptions and the way normally, a quarterback is benched for these errors, however an absence of choices is one motive why Winston remained the starter in 2019:

“An enormous a part of it was Blaine (Gabbert) getting harm and we needed to discover out. That is the franchise, so we needed to discover out.’’

That proper there provides a layer to the unique quote and it actually elevates the intrigue as to what the Bucs will do with Winston within the offseason.

4) And, in fact, saving the most effective for final. There’s all the time the chance that Winston is simply an excessive amount of of a turnover-machine and this staff does need to reduce ties and transfer on.

Arians has additionally mentioned many issues in a single presser, simply to do one thing otherwise on the sector or within the clubhouse, so I’d additionally take the remark with a slight grain of salt.

That is going to be an extended offseason.
