Jameis Winston's completion percentage: Don't worry about it

With 24 seconds left against the Rams last season, Jameis Winston spotted Vincent Jackson open down the right sideline.

If only he hadn't missed his target. We wouldn't be talking this summer about whether the 2017 Buccaneers can end the franchise's playoff drought … because the 2016 team would have already done it.

Since entering the NFL in 2015, Winston has completed less than 60 percent of his passes. Imagine how good he could be if he completed, say, 70 percent of his passes.

One quarterback not only crossed the 70 percent threshold last season but also broke the record.
