Joe here,

@bucyea — Actually, Joe’s really not that calculating and wouldn’t waste time on crafting such nonsense for a handful of extra views. As you can see, Joe’s site is NOT set up for maximum “hits” in order to keep things streamlined and easy for readers.

THE PESSMIST does a good job making a point and is allowed to chime in when he’s moved to do so. He has the green light, but doesn’t take advantage of it very often. Joe can assure you that THE PESSIMIST believes every word he writes, and he’s probably spewing it right now at a local bar.

Got to give kudos to Joe, as obviuosly, the”Pessimist” serves one purpose, and that is to create “hits”, so to speak. Muy intelliente…controversy sales…a “pessimistic view’ creates alot “post”, ie..hits to the site. IMO, he(pessimist) doesnt believe a word a writes..it’s business, web hits..etc. BTW, I’ll be fishing round the Skyway tomorrow if the pessimist is ready to really go “all in”…heheh…click, hit, click hit…mucho traffico…rock on Joe!

THE PESSIMIST—cant wait to watch you eat crow with the other “haters” of this draft when Clayborn and Bowers kill it just like everyone with the actual balls did when they talk about what a horrible pick Freeman was and rolling the dice on Blunt.
Tampa will rotate Bowers in and out along with the other D-ends and he will kill it, not every down but he will make his impact be known around the league and he’s pretty pist off he slipped.
Watch Clayborn and Bowers play lights out pisst off football and make other teams pay for not selecting them.

the hip/handstring/groin problem was most likely a “pelvic seperation” think… EXTREME splits, to the point that the pelvis where it connects down low seperated a little bit, it would be a place thats hard to explain, hard to diagnose and would be painful in odd ways, Prices problem was that it WASNT diagnosed right, and continued to play on it, because it would feel ok for a while doing normal walking, once they realized what it was and called it a PELVIC injury he came out and rested it PROPERLY. it will heal correctly and he will be beast.

You know I finally figured out where the PESSIMIST had disappeared to for awhile:

The PESSIMIST was leading the Birther’s cause looking for Obama’s live form birth certificate!

Since the President produced the form the PESSIMIST came back to JBF to share some more of his ‘insight’.

Gee thanks Pessimist, I think there might be an opening on the Donald’s staff for you.

The real reason they went with these two picks is if they are medically unable to play they won’t get paid saving the Glazers millions. Then the gems found in the later rounds can step in for half or even a quarter of the salary.

Hey Tampa two is back with all his sunshine, we are so lucky!

Jerry, I am sure the team docs took a good look at these guys. Any of you that think Clayborn can not get to the QB never watched Big Ten ball. I have seen reports that say Bowers will need surgery at some point in time, but I am sure you know better than the team that’s job is to look into these things. If these two guys are the beasts they can be, I hope you come back and eat crow. I am sure you were crying about the freeman and Williams picks as well as the Winslow trade.

So the draft is about getting guys that are “scary” to the other team? Wow, that’s good to know! I thought we were trying to put together a winning team here. Man was I confused…

One interesting to think about Bowers playing for the Bucs. If his knee is healthy enough to play, Adrian Clayborn is limited to RDE only due to the Erb’s Palsy. That means that Bowers will be our LDE. Ok, so he’s not gonna be attacking the QB’s blind side, but he will be facing the RT instead of the LT every down he’s in the game. For a guy that could return to the form of a top 10 pick, going up against RTs is a HUGE advantage in the Bucs favor. If we can see McCoy continue to improve and get pressure up the middle, Bowers push the RT, then Clayborn doesn’t have to be the best pass rusher on the team, he gets to clean up what the other guys push his way. Not that Clayborn can’t rush the passer, but what I’ve seen of him he’s more a beast against the run with some rush ability. Not only that, but it would also seem that Bowers and McCoy will line up on the same side of the ball fairly frequently. If they can learn to work together and run stunts, that could be wicked. Now we just need to find out how Price is recovering from his surgery.

Bowers will for sure be better than Dexter Jackson. His talent isn’t a question, it’s just his knee that’s a conern.

The fact that Jackson got drafted as a high as he did is still a big mystery to me. I had never even heard of the guy when we selected him.

Absolutely love this pickup… While solidifying a top DE in the 1st round, the Bucs got the opportunity to draft a top 5 player with a late 2nd round pick. This is a player with HUGE upside… if the pick turns out any better than the 2008 2nd round pick than I am happy. Go Bucs! And good luck Bowers!
