Yes good post HawaiianBuc, just read comments. And not to mention, Dom also has an army of minions watching players and film for him as well. I have a feeling he will nail Revis by tomorrow without giving up that #1 pick. I hope we get Revis because it can only help our chances, 100% or not. I also think that Leonard Johnson is going to be a stud CB for us. I like that kid and have faith on his abilities. Rookie CB’s rarely stand a chance against today’s receivers and QB’s.

I’m more concerned about Josh choking than anything else. I am tired of watching him blow games. My wife says that he throws the ball better to cameramen in the end zone than any QB ever.

I don’t see Jackspn as an upgrade to Turner. Maybe a wash but as stated above Jackson is high mileage, been in a few accidents and about ready for the scrap heap. I’d say he’ll be in the pile by week 4.

Just my opinion, don’t care if others think differently. Go ahead and shoot me, but good luck finding ammo, or paying less for it than Revis will cost.

@kh,

The amazing thing to me is that these same geniuses that are upset we don’t sign every available free agent complain that we are going after the top CB in the game. The same guys that have been complaining for years that we are cheap are now complaining that we are going to spend too much money. I don’t know about you, but I trust Dominik to handle the salary cap a helluva lot better than I trust anonymous people on JBF.

you’re too polite Hawaiian – they’re morons – they knew full well we weren’t going to sign every free agent under the sign yet cry that we dont. They knew full well we likely wouldnt bring back Bennett but cry when we didn’t. We sign an all-pro safety and then cry that we overpaid for him, as if the deal would’ve been awesome and they wouldnt have complained if he was given $1m-$2m less per year! Moral of the story is that regardless of what happens the same set of clowns will cry about it, no matter what. Its like the boy who cried wolf, cry so much that they don’t even deserve any merit when the cries are legitimate.

To clear this up, every fan has the right to be critical of the decisions of the team. That’s part of what makes sites like this so much fun. To be honest, I would probably never comment if everyone was a homer like me. There are a bunch of great and knowledgeable fans that don’t feel very good about our direction, and I completely respect their opinions, even if I disagree. So far, they have been more right than me, because we haven’t sniffed the playoffs in what seems like forever.

However, I do think some people take it way too far. For example, there were idiots yesterday saying we were going 4-12 next year! Give me a break with that nonsense! You have no idea how we are going to look in September, and you need to just chill out and drink a beer or something. Other morons were saying we should fire Dominik right now. Yeah, that’s genius. Fire your GM at the beginning of free agency and a month before the draft, despite the fact that he hit a home run in the draft last year. Comments like this are beyond moronic, and I seriously wonder how these people function in society. Another thing that just drives me crazy is people pretending as if they are smarter than Dominik, and saying with conviction who we should pick up in free agency and who we should draft. The problem with this is that you have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. Dominik watches more film before lunch than any of us have in our lives (coaches film that is). It amazes me that people truly believe they are capable of doing the job of a GM. I promise you the job is a million times harder than what you think. Always remember that before you run your mouth and make yourself look like an complete idiot.

Jackson sucks now anyway and so does the Falcons D. We’re going to kick their ass twice this year and send Gonzo home crying like a little biatch.

“Wright’s Contract is now void via the NFL”

The Buccaneers are the ONLY team inthe NFL to get RICHER during free agency. Sheesh.

Quincy 5.5 + Wright 6.5

Such a love/hate relationship with Dominik, so frustrating at times. Done so many great things for this team, but at the same time so many horrible things. Bring in some competition for Freeman, ( Carr? he’s definetely better then Orlovsky) Try to trade Blount because next year will probaly be more of the same and he wont touch the ball enough. Find a true #3 WR, Ogletree or Underwood wont be that. What is happening with our TE position? do they think Stocker can be our guy? I think thats a possibility but he has to work on his recieving skills, hes already a solid blocker. Find competition for Dotson. WE NEED ANOTHER DE THAT CAN RUSH THE PASSER! bring Roy Miller back. We need to get Quincy Blacks replacement cause Casillas and Watson are simply not good enough for a starting role. and then finally, WE NEED 2 NEW F-ING CB’S! 2 NEW STARTERS! anyone disagree or agree with anything I said? GO BUCS

how am i being a dick? I’m just saying the fact that the Falcons signed Stephen Jackson doesn’t force the Bucs to make any moves with Revis or otherwise, thats not how the NFL works. It’s chicken little to suggest that if they dont get Revis under contract soon we’re doomed. It might take another week before we’ve added more players, Stephen Jackson has zero effect on that whatsoever. On top of that, you’re overrating Jackson, his career is on the decline, I think of him as being slightly better then Turner but not by that much. If anything Jackson has more wear and tear.

PS- f’ off Paul, love how you think that being critical of every move they make equates to being informed and anyone who tells you that’s ridiculous makes them a sheep. I’m just a reasonable fan who is not a moron that thinks a season is decided in the first 5 days of free agency like you apparently do. Plus, I’ve been a Bucs fan for as long as any “Old Bucs” fan so spare me that tired crap.

Well I can now see us going after some veteran DE’s now that Bennet is gone. Freeney, Abraham, Osi and a couple others are still out there for their services to give depth on the DL. Wouldn’t mind seeing Osi or Freeney in the mix.

I was upset about Bennet because he was still young and could of had him for a reasonable price it seems now. But that’s the way the NFL works, time to move on and see what else will happen.
