From the episode

Jaden Daniels is way different. 3.25 value over replacement versus Marcus Mariota...Jameis Winston has the most just raw passing yards per start of any quarterback in the league since the start of 2024...he's unafraid to throw the ball into coverage. Right. And so that is super favorable for receivers...he is less likely to take off and scramble, which just gets you like a few more dropbacks, a few more...Past attempts in a game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jameis offers 3.25 value over Mariota; most passing yards per start since 2024.

JJ Zachariason models Jameis Winston as a 3.25 value over replacement compared to Marcus Mariota, a significant downgrade from Jaden Daniels but not the most critical difference. Zachariason notes Jameis has the most raw passing yards per start of any quarterback since start of 2024 across multiple offensive systems; he is unafraid to throw into coverage (favorable for receivers) and less likely to scramble, generating more dropbacks and target opportunities. Zachariason is not afraid of Jameis as Malik Neighbors' quarterback and sees him as capable of supporting one to two weapons against the Titans' poor secondary.
