Should He Stay or Should He Go?



Reports have surfaced recently that former Heisman winning quarterback Jameis Winston of Florida State University is contemplating returning to school for another shot at his second Heisman and National Championship; after failing at both at the hands of Oregon Ducks starting quarterback Marcus Mariota. Winston has been projected as one of the top draft picks with potential to be the number one overall pick in this springs NFL Draft. He says he wont let it be known until after Monday nights National Championship game, which means at least a week of waiting to find out his decision.

Why He Should Go:

He has the potential to be a top overall pick which would mean an absurd amount of money to play in the NFL, the dream of every child who comes up playing football. He has the skills size and quickness to make an immediate impact in the NFL as well as leave a lasting imprint on the league. Going to the NFL now eliminates the possibility of returning to school and getting injured or in more trouble then he has already been in. There are at least 11 teams that immediately need help at the quarterback position and would do a lot to make a move to obtain his talents.

Why He Should Stay:

His first year as a starter he led his Seminole squad to countless blowouts en route to a National Championship and a Heisman Trophy. His second year at the helm was wrought with controversy of minor off the field incidents which if nothing else, tainted his reputation as the lovable always smiling goofball with immense talent. Returning to school would give him a second chance to rebuild his name and, with a year of experience under the belt of a lot of key returning players, could make them once again an extremely dangerous offense. Also, the teams that need quarterbacks right now in the NFL are teams that, for the most part would force him into action early with a lack of complementary talent surrounding him. Only time will tell what he decides, but let it be known that clock strikes midnight on January 15th (the deadline to declare)
