Paul A. Esden Jr: Your quarterback, Deondre Francois, is often being compared to Jameis Winston and has shown a lot of promise this season. Is the comparison fair?

"Jason (@jpchopchat): Jameis used his legs as an added bonus to having a rocket arm. Deondre is having to run the ball more out of the fact that he has no offensive line to keep a pocket around him. That would be the only reason why the comparison might not quite be fair at this point, but check back in another year."

"Kelvin (@khchopchat): No, the comparison’s are not fair at all. Two completely different players. Jameis was a much more polished passer as a RS Frosh. He threw players open instead of waiting for players to get open and then throw. What I love about Francois is he has done a better job of not turning the ball over than Jameis. Then again, he’s not the risk taker that Jameis was either. I love the progression of Francois and think he’ll be a excellent college QB, but he’ll never be a No. 1 overall draft pick."
