Was Jameis Winston as Impressive as Stats Showed in 2015?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers met the low expectations set out by Bucs’ fans and many inside the NFL by finishing the 2015 season with only six wins, which lead to the firing of head coach Lovie Smith. Penalties, turnovers, and overall poor effort contributed to their lack of success in 2015. Jamies Winston threw for 4,042 yards and 22 touchdown passes, which lead to his finishing runner-up in the Rookie of the Year voting. Winston is the only quarterback in NFL history to accumulate over 4,000 passing yards before his 22nd birthday. These were impressive numbers put up by Winston in his rookie season, but was he as good as the statistics showed?
