Today, the San Francisco 49ers play ... somebody. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers? That sounds right. I expect they will lose, though the Buccaneers aren’t exactly a powerhouse in that regard. The 49ers have the talent to beat the Buccaneers, certainly.
They also have more than enough talent to lose to the Buccaneers.
I don’t think Jameis Winston is a particularly good quarterback. I’d go as far as to say I expect he’ll definitely wind up being a bust, but I’ve been wrong before. I suppose I shouldn’t be talking, with Colin Kaepernick starting at quarterback for the 49ers. True, I called for Kaepernick to start and I stand by that.
But until he shows something, he’s still a guy that has wildly regressed and has disappointed as the potential franchise quarterback of the 49ers. Can he be that guy again? I dunno, but beating the Buccaneers would be a good first start ... if an underwhelming one.
