There are only so many times you can let something slide. For weeks, maybe months, I have heard people compare Jameis Winston to JaMarcus Russell. Every time, I would dismiss it because there’s no way for Winston to truly refute the comparisons until he gets out on an NFL field. Then, I read this story in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, featuring quotes from an anonymous personnel executive who claims to see a lot of JaMarcus in Jameis.
