NFL: Quarterback Power Rankings
By Kit Anderson
- Jameis Winston
Ranking Winston above Newton was a back and forth decision that you could argue either way. In the end Winston won out by inches only because he has shown more poise. Yes, he is the younger of the two but since he has come into the League he has carried himself as a pro in every sense of the word.
He is stepped up his game both on and off the field and looks to be set for a break out season with a very talented roster. Newton may be the more pure athlete of the two but Winston has the advanced mental game that pushes him slightly over the edge for now.
Winston is yet another example of the new type of quarterback the league is headed towards plenty of arm and can scramble for days in the pocket as well. Winston has the athleticism to be a starter in the League for a long time to come.
He is the quarterback that teams are looking for coming out of the draft and could soon be considered a part of the top five in the League. While that may seem like high praise to some, if you doubt my word pull up the tape last season Winston is one of the best and will be for a long time to come.
