Drafting a linebacker in the 1st or 2nd round is fine, but we need to bring in at least 2 free agent linebackers this offseason. Sorry, but inserting more rookies into the starting lineup won’t make us better. If we keep doing that every year, we’re never gonna improve. Next year is gonna have to be a playoff year for us, or Raheem and Dom will be looking for work.

More rookies combined with all our undisciplined rookies=recipe for another losing season.

Quincy Black is the JaMarcus Russell of linebackers.

everyone blaming the defense.. ok the defense isnt playing great but the offense is playing worst… its at least three rookie qbs playing better than ours… Its time to put the blame where it belongs….. Josh Freeman he is the reason .. 7 out of his 15 ints are in the red zone the other ones were on long drives moving the offense down the field or in key possesions needing to put up at least three points… Not adding that the offensive line has been playing great… Freeman has been playing horrible… his stats reflects our record….. so far in his career out of three yrs playing he’s had one good season… and from the looks of things he’s getting worst.

NickinMelbourne:

Raheem has benched Black twice this year. Problem is when you do that, the Bucs are essentially playing with 10 defenders.

With the exception of Mason Foster and Dekoda Watson (part-time player currently), this linebacker unit is rock bottom.

Raheem is unable to bench Black because we dumped so much money on him and Raheem has no authority as head coach. If Raheem had any guts at all he would have benched Black a long time ago. Instead he benches Hayes who arguably has played better than Black. What a joke!

KnucknBuc-” tell me something we don’t know!”
Brother, you said it! That is my greatest frustration. We knew this in March!! I, along with others, knew the LBers sucked. We all expected Dom to adress it. All he did, was let the best LB leave unsigned, and draft one LB. Quincy and Geno sucked, yet he did nothing.

This season was sabotaged before it started. We knew the LBers sucked, we needed another RB, and everyone but Joe knew the secondary sucked.

Dom sure dealt Raheem a raw hand

LB’s are for sure our #1 concern in the next draft and FA. Foster & Watson have potential but the others just suck.

Tell me something we don’t know. Our olbs suck no surprise there Im actually surprised hayes is ranked that high. Kinda telling that our rookie is only 10 spots behind him tho. Foster will get better geno and black not so much. Watson maybe will get better I don’t have to much confidence in him tho, just to not get let down. Hayward is a backup at best.

Quincy Black is one of the greatest con artists of all time. At least Jesse James used a gun to rob people.

Black @ 123rd means he’s not only last among starters; he’s also behind quite a few reserves as well.

its sad how out of the 4, the one that plays the most is the least ranked…Quincy Black. I think zach brown would excell in the weakside lb position. But either way the bucs definately need atleast 1 other stud lb to go with foster. I hope we address the strongside in free agency but this time spend some money on a veteran that actually has PRODUCTION.
