This might be the worst article I've ever read regarding Jameis.

The cloud of doubt still hangs over Winston, but the focus has shifted from off-the-field issues to his ability on the field following a 59-20 blowout loss against the No. 2
Oregon Ducks on New Year’s Day. The only loss in a Seminoles uniform for Winston was the worst performance in the history of Florida State’s football program. Famous Jameis proved that he’s not ready for the next level, even though it’s likely he will declare himself eligible for the
NFL Draft before the January 15 deadline.
Unless Winston decides to return to FSU for the junior season, it will be yet another mistake for the controversial college star — adding to the list that includes being charged with sexual assault, stealing a soda from Burger King, shoplifting crab legs from a Publix store, yelling vulgar obscenities toward FSU’s student union and getting arrested for possession of a BB gun. Not to mention, Winston would be competing against better, more talented quarterbacks in a stocked draft class of Oregon’s Marcus Mariota,UCLA’s Brett Hundley, Baylor’s Bryce Petty, Ole Miss’Bo Wallace and Alabama’s Blake Sims just to name a few.
It was evident during the national semifinal game that Winston couldn’t handle the pressure of losing and showed his true colors by confronting FSU head coach
Jimbo Fisher after a fumble. The demise will be fresh in the minds of NFL scouts and despite 29-straight wins under center along with showing moments of true leadership,
it might be time for Winston to explore another career path.
He said it best himself after the
Rose Bowl loss: “I’m not focused on that at all.” Winston said that when asked whether he’ll leave school early and turn pro. “I’m looking forward to next season and playing baseball. So I’m just trying to get better every day.”
Baseball could be Winston’s saving grace to rebuild his image and give him the possibility of a long-standing career in professional sports. With an ERA of 1.94, nine saves and 52 strikeouts in two years as a pitcher with the Seminoles, his stats on the mound are good. Unlike his play on the football field this season with 25 touchdowns and 20 turnovers (18 interceptions, two fumbles lost).
Winston would benefit from staying in school for another year and reevaluating where his draft stock might sit in either sport. Being a physically tough athlete doesn’t make for a well-rounded NFL prospect, especially at the quarterback position. Where Winstom lacks effectiveness is in making quick decisions in the pocket.
He’s vulnerable to pressure when applied and was exposed by Oregon’s defense multiple times in the Rose Bowl game.
If the NFL happens to be the next stop for Winston, it could be short-lived and compare to the careers of past Heisman-winning quarterbacks like Eric Crouch,Jason White, Matt Leinart, Troy Smith and Tim Tebow. Winston’s most substantial option at this point is baseball. The only question is, can he adjust his character issues in the upcoming season?
The clock is ticking on every decision that Winston makes, but the most important hinges with the NFL Draft.

Its one thing to say he should try baseball for longevity and cash. But some of his reasoning
Then I remember its rant sports.
