Now sitting at 3-7, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are surely considering life without Jameis Winston. The former No. 1 overall pick seems to be liked by head coach Bruce Arians, but the quarterback guru hasn’t been able to get him to turn the corner.

Winston once again threw for a lot of yards this weekend, 313, but had twice as many interceptions (four) as touchdowns (two). In addition to that, it took him 51 attempts to get that yardage.

The rest of the team wasn’t a lot better as Tampa Bay managed to score just 17 points while surrendering 34 to the New Orleans Saints. The ground game was especially bad as Winston was actually their leading rusher with 23 yards. Ronald Jones managed only 13 yards on four carries — and it seemed weird how quickly they completely abandoned the run.

On defense, they only forced seven incompletions all game out of Drew Brees and allowed him to throw three touchdown passes. They also had a hard time slowing down Alvin Kamara, who put up 75 yards on 13 carries.

Tampa Bay will have a high pick in the coming draft and once again, they may need to look for a signal-caller. Although, that’s far from the only roster spot that needs an upgrade.
