Puka Nakua assesses Jameis Winston's week 3 performance as a significant step back from week 1, with poor arm strength and accuracy throughout. Despite weather playing a role, Winston showed concerning mechanics: one-yard average depth of target, every throw was short and flat with no zip, defenders getting hands on middle throws, and incompletions on basic routes like a six-yard hitch to Isaiah Likely. Nakua notes Winston looked like 'a guy who spent all summer being a content creator' and suggests the Ravens may have traded for J.J. McCarthy because they believe Winston's arm 'might not be NFL caliber anymore.' The team is also planning to be run-heavy (lowest neutral pass rate at 29% in week 3), limiting his passing volume.NegativeProjectionSep 30, 2026

McCarthy, suggesting the organization views Winston as a temporary spot starter or "glue guy" rather than the long-term solution, even with playoffs in mind. The acquisition of McCarthy signals the Giants' lack of confidence in Winston's sustained performance.NegativeProjectionSep 23, 2026
