Christ. They've found a way to make me even more depressed about the season.

Silver lining is maybe there's enough time left in the year for them to realize that neither Freeman or Glennon are long-term answers and we can feel good about the idea of taking Bridgewater or Boyd with our top 5 pick that we're almost guaranteed to have now.

Shouldn't you at least have a shred of hope? I don't think Glennon will be the answer but I can't say that with 100% certainty. At NC State he performed pretty well for having no offensive weapons and a terrible o-line. Jackson and Williams are great targets for a guy who can absolutely sling it.

What would keeping Freeman as the starter do?

Even with the fact that Freeman's been here 5 years and Glennon is only a rookie, I'm more certain that Glennon will never amount to anything than I am with Freeman. He was the one QB that I never wanted to touch in this past year's draft.

He's eerily similar to Freeman, but worse in almost every aspect.

I was at least able to cling to some hope that he might turn it around and our team would start winning games. With Freeman, you at least see flashes like that stretch last year when he had something like 12 TDs to 0 INTs in 4 weeks. I don't think Glennon is capable of even showing flashes beyond one throw here and there.

Edit: Anyways, hopefully I'm wrong, but I feel like his best case scenario is basically what we got from Freeman... doing just enough to make us not go out and get another QB for a few years before we realize he's actually a big part of the problem.

I get that you don't like him as a QB, but Freeman has you guys going nowhere. Give Glennon a chance. Worst (perhaps best) case scenario, he flops and you get the top pick you desire. Alternative is he leads you to a somewhat respectable record, and maybe he can get you on his side with his play.

Seems like a win/win.

I do see your side that he can do just enough to stick. QB purgatory. Seen that too much in Buffalo.

But this season? Lol. I read something that said his completion percentage in the last 2 years is in company with Weeden and Gabbert.

Yeah, we'll see. At this point, praying that he sucks enough that we fire Schiano and start over at HC and QB while somehow keeping our other guys' heads up so that they don't give up on the organization.

"This league is about finding a franchise quarterback, and with Josh's roller-coaster career, we don't feel he's that guy," a team source said.

There are five weeks before the trade deadline, and if a team loses a starting quarterback and has interest in Freeman, the Bucs are willing to trade him. For now, he's their backup quarterback.

Sounds like the Freeman era is officially over in Tampa.

I know there's good reason not to believe Freeman is a franchise QB but the way all the dirty laundry has been aired out and the very disrespectful way they've handled the whole thing makes the Bucs look pretty Mickey Mouse to me.

Hopefully Schiano will have more patience with whoever is the new starting QB next season.

Re: NFL Off Topic

It sounds like there's a lot of unrest in that locker room right now. Doesn't bode well for Schiano either.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Freeman was never his guy, though. I mean it's only Year #2 with Schiano, he's just now starting to mould his roster. Weird situation there with a rebuilding team who got a new coach but the QB from the past era stayed put.

It really shouldn't be a rebuilding team though. That's why Schiano has to go in my opinion. He's still learning how to be a head coach. With the current roster, which, in my opinion, is ready to win games (besides the QB situation now), you should have a head coach that's ready to win games as well. Schiano isn't that guy.

The Bills are doing it right: letting the team grow along with the coach. The Bucs screwed it up by putting a team together that should be good enough to compete for a playoff spot with a coach that can't get out of his own way.

Now Tampa is stuck with a roster of guys that want to win and a coach that brings them down, so they now have to find a way to keep the players' heads on straight while tanking for at least one more year.
