Memo to NFL scouts and media pundits: don’t compare Jameis Winston to Peyton Manning in front of Michael Wilbon.
Terrell Owens Urges Jameis To Learn From Johnny Football’s Mistakes
Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman published a report from the combine on Monday, citing multiple scouts who saw positive similarities between the two quarterback’s respective football IQs. Wilbon, let’s just say, was none too pleased with the comparisons.
“I don’t believe any of this garbage. It’s garbage. Has he thrown a pass? Has he shown you that he can not get beat in a bowl game?” Wilbon asked Pardon the Interruption co-host Tony Kornheiser. “I’m talking about lately. Has he done anything since then? Has he had pads on since then? No he hasn’t, Tony. Don’t fall for this junk.
“This is what happens when a bunch of people are there for a purpose where they’ve got to hype something or figure out how they can make themselves important and tell you what they’ve determined. We don’t know anything! If you start comparing him to Peyton Manning, I’m going to shut you down.”
