Despite the 30-27 loss on Monday Night Football to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Bucs QB Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for over 400 yards for the third straight game.
Winston may be returning from his three game suspension but it doesn’t seem like he’ll be starting for the Tampa Bay any time soon.
So, it seems like Winston may have found a new way to channel his inner frustrations through a burner account on Twitter:
I was joking at first but I think this is actually Jameis’ burner account lol
Joined in September 2018, when this rumor mill that Fitz should start began
His email address when you do “forgot password” has the same characters as “jameiswins@e****.***” pic.twitter.com/6qbxbi2pmH

In addition to the email address to the account basically spelling Jameis’ name, the account looks even more suspicious because it was created in September, which was right around the time when rumors of Fitzpatrick keeping the starting job started to spread.
In another tweet that may convince you this is Jameis, he forgets that he’s on his burner and refers to Winston as “me”:
Winston ain’t resigning in Tampa. You gonna bench me for Fitzpatrick lol. Trade me or release me

Literally all of the tweets are in defense of Winston. Is this Winston himself or just a super fan of the Tampa Bay QB:

stafford also has a career losing record just like jameis and got 130 million, jameis will get paid or take the nfl to court for collusion

On Tuesday morning, the Twitter account put out this tweet:

If this is indeed Jameis Winston, he has some explaining to do.
