Raheem The Dream Gets A “D”
February 25th, 2010
Joe’s always glad to see his print colleagues loosen up and keep it real.
So for this reason, Joe was pleased to read the transcript of St. Pete Times’ columnist John Romano’s live chat yesterday at TampaBay.com. Joe wouldn’t call himself a Romano fan but, nevertheless, Romano deserves credit for actually loosening up and answering some bizarre questions, including those about his nipples, Howard Stern fans, Sarah Palin and (gasp) JoeBucsFan.com.
But it was a question about Raheem The Dream’s performance that Joe will reference here. Romano was challenged to grade Raheem The Dream.
[Comment From Norton]
And I dare you to give Raheem Morris a letter grade for last seasonJohn Romano: Dare me to give an opinion? That’s kind of what I get paid for. I haven’t thought too deeply about it, but I’d probably give Raheem a D. I think he was a little too free spirited early in the season, and I think he had some sideline decisions that did not work. He kept the season from being a complete disaster when he took over the defense late in the year.
Fair enough assessment in the confines of the limited chat format. Seems that Romano, like Joe, would have given Raheem The Dream an “F” had he not defrocked Jim Bates and turned around the defense.

Joe here,
Eric – Here’s the point. It’s about the Bucs, and someone might enjoy reading it.
Thanks for the early-morning love. 🙂

“D” is fair. Everybody is young and they learned. This year the grading curve is steep. They will need a C+ or B- to stay afloat.

Justin, C is average, D is below. But Morris would have to come up at least 3 grades to make a D. He is in the abyss. Two grades below an F.
