Former Bucs GM says whatever GM compared Jameis to Jamarcus Russell should not have a job
Last week there was a report that one GM stated Jameis Winston was the second coming of Jamarcus Russell, and that upset former Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik.
“I think it’s rude,” former Buccaneers G.M. Mark Dominik told Jorge Sedano of ESPN Radio, via JoeBucsFan.com. “I think it’s completely off base to call him JaMarcus Russell. I just don’t see the comparison. Look, if you want to say one thing about Jameis [as a football player], the only thing I’d sit there and say is at the end of the season, he lost 17 pounds to go to the [Scouting] Combine. I didn’t like that. You now, because I’d like to think he’s playing as well as he can all the way through the bowl series and then getting himself ready for the Combine, instead of having to get himself in shape. But from a football standpoint, from a football intelligence, from a competitor, from a leader, it ain’t close. It’s embarrassing. For my personal opinion, whatever G.M. said that, probably should not be a G.M., quite frankly.”
To be honest, I agree with Dominick, because I cannot see the comparison.
