TAMPA — OK, Jameis, you’re up.

The Bucs have made you the face of the franchise. No. 1 overall.

If you’re all wrong, then everyone is gone, including coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jason Licht. The Glazers will be lucky if they hang on. If you’re all wrong, they might as well turn Bucs headquarters into a CarMax.

Everyone is on the clock from here out.

Bucs history, the King Jameis version, is here.

Jameis, the arm, the aura, the baggage, might decide whether the Bucs go back to the top or stay belly up for years to come.
