Midway through the 2016 season, the best thing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense has going for it is obvious: No QB-WR combination in the NFL has produced more than the eight touchdown passes from Jameis Winston to Mike Evans. Both Winston and Evans are on pace to produce the most prolific numbers ever at their positions in franchise history.
Evans is clearly a burgeoning NFL star, but Winston wouldn't be on his own record pace if not for contributions elsewhere in the passing game. And with the loss of Vincent Jackson to injured reserve, the failure of Louis Murphy to return from the PUP list additional injuries to the likes of Cecil Shorts and Russell Shepard and the utter lack of continuity in the backfield, it hasn't exactly been easy to keep the Buccaneers moving.
