Vincent Jackson II
May 8th, 2014
New Bucs WR Mike Evans.
With a quarterback for the ages ready to be selected while you have a quarterback that Peter King stated the team called a “one-year band-aid,” the Bucs decided to draft Vincent Jackson.
Oh, wait. The Bucs already have Vincent Jackson. So they got his clone, Mike Evans, the top target of the quarterback you just passed on.
Nothing like stretching the field.
Evans may very well be a good wide receiver, but the only way Joe sees the Bucs stretching the field (as of now) is if greatly undervalued tight end Tim Wright breaks ankles of defensive backs.

Joe is so mad.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:04 pm
Buccs will trade back in the first round I bet…for a QB
May 8th, 2014 at 9:05 pm
Wow so sorry joe
May 8th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
Joe, you knew this was coming for months. Oh and how did Josh McCown do last year with two similar type receivers? Was it spectacularly? Sure was.
And for the love of God, no more Johnny articles ever again. He’s going to Cleveland, and if you wanna write Johnny articles become JoeBrownsFan.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
Dumb. Drafting WRs in top 10 is dumb. Unless you have a franchise QB.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
In 5 years when Manziel is out of the league and Evans is a pro bowler, hopefully we can hear the end of how great Manziel is gonna be.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
Shut up guys. Manziel is what our team needed. Hope you all enjoy McCown sucking this season.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:06 pm
I can’t believe we passed on Johnny Manziel!
May 8th, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Start chugging joe I’m glad finally no more Johnny football articles
May 8th, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Wow bitter much Joe?
C’mon man. Evans is a good pick. I see him as Jackson’s replacement
May 8th, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Joe, just so you know, we have setup cameras on the Skyway! Don’t do it.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Here endeth the Johnny Football coverage. Thank God…
May 8th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Also lol at Quaterback for the ages.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Think about this Joe, McCown was excellent last year with Marshall and Jeffery, two big receivers. Evans and Jackson are pretty similar.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
I am soooooo happy not to have to watch Manziel the douchebag. I don’t even care if Evans is an epic bust as long as it means no Manziel.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Someone notify the FHP to close the sun shine bridge to protect Joe.
Go BUCS… love the pick.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
Headed to the Cowboys.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:09 pm
Joe is butt hurt!
May 8th, 2014 at 9:09 pm
Was really hoping for Manziel smh.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:09 pm
Another 2 years of mediocrity….
May 8th, 2014 at 9:10 pm
Go Mike! Wish you the best young man.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:11 pm
Stupid I’m getting sick of this crap. What a joke wonder why we suck year in and out. We really need two of the same guy hope they can the pass the ball to each other
May 8th, 2014 at 9:11 pm
Welcome to reality, my QB obsessive fellow Buc fans.
We took the BPA
No we have the twin towers at WR.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:11 pm
Glennon mob where you at. Can’t wait to see jump balls to are 6″5 receivers try to stop it. Who you going to double now.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:12 pm
Maybe last year Mccown had an OL.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:12 pm
BAHAHAHAHA @ joe, Evans made Manziel, i might take johnny in the 2nd round
May 8th, 2014 at 9:12 pm
QB for the ages? Is Joe smoking pot and listening to 3days grace right now?
Haha!
Not thrilled with Evans, but happy we didn’t draft Manziel.
Go Bucs!
May 8th, 2014 at 9:12 pm
JFF is slipping. We may have known he would and we’ll trade back in to get him.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
Awww Joe don’t cry buddy.
You were wrong. We tried to tell you you were wasting your time with all the Johnny football talk.
The truth is there was never any chance that the Bucs were going to take Him with the first pick.
And you’re just furthering my belief that you really don’t have a clue by dogging this pick. This is a great pick. Two Jackson’s is not a bad problem to have.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
Joe brainwashed you all. Evans is a great pick.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
Maybe, this Johnny Football guy isn’t all that good. Great college QBs don’t always make great NFL QBs. These guys are professionals at evaluating talent. Got to trust that.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
Good luck selling tickets and jerseys
May 8th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
Can’t make sense of passing on a QB!!! Pretty dumb…almost as dumb as Cleveland taking a CB!! Yeah I wanted JF BADLY…but would have still felt ok about one of the other stud QB’s out there. This draft seems to be a very strange one though so maybe we still get a QB in second round?
May 8th, 2014 at 9:13 pm
who cares we did not want johnny football man now the JFM and go and sleep
May 8th, 2014 at 9:14 pm
Nybucs fan yeah that’s sucks if they are the same so we will have 2 80 catch 1200 receiving yards a year guy sounds awful
May 8th, 2014 at 9:14 pm
If the Browns (twice) and Vikes passed on Manziel, that tells you all you need to know Joe. Go cry over some scotch with duemig.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:15 pm
With such a deep WR class and Lovie? No way did I think we were going this direction. The fact that we’ve gone through many QB needy teams, there has to be some reason Johnny is still on the board. Im trying to fight the pain and think of how exciting our WR corps can be. Just hope we get a Qb eventually.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:15 pm
Pick your posion defenses . LOVE THIS PICK
May 8th, 2014 at 9:16 pm
Licht was just interviewed on the radio. They asked about passing on Manziel, Licht responded with, “The day is not over”.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:16 pm
6 5 package!! VJax, Evans, T Wright, Street are gonna ball!!
May 8th, 2014 at 9:17 pm
Looking forward to Joe constantly adding “the GM Who Passed on Johnny Football” to Licht’s name in every article.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:18 pm
Licht just said Evans was the better A&M player than Manziel. Joe, I can only imagine what your next talk with Licht will be like. Probably involving not getting laid I would guess.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:19 pm
JOE KNOWS QBs
May 8th, 2014 at 9:19 pm
You all are dick heads. I’ll be laughing when McCown is a disaster and benched by week 5. Tampa fans don’t know anything about what a franchise quarterbacks are because they’ve never had one.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:19 pm
Were actually have a high scoring offense this year!
May 8th, 2014 at 9:20 pm
Michael Clayton Jr
May 8th, 2014 at 9:22 pm
Love the Evans pick!!!
May 8th, 2014 at 9:23 pm
Always uneasy about WR in the top 10 but this guy is an excellent fit next to VJ. Evans won’t have to start out as the marquee WR. I think we will still get an excellent QB prospect in the 2nd round although his name may not be Manziel unless he falls that far. Let’s see how that Glennon to Patriots rumor works out. Nice pick for us. Can’t wait to see it on the field.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:25 pm
I told you there would be lots of tears. LMAO…
May 8th, 2014 at 9:26 pm
He mad
May 8th, 2014 at 9:26 pm
This f’ing blows! Did we not learn anything when we drafted Michael Clayton ?! So now we have two Vincent Jackson, fucking great! Great job Jason Licht, you better hope Johnny M. is a major bust. Because if he’s not, it could jut cost you your first GM job. So we are going with the retarded baby giraffe and a guy who’s not even a has been………he’s a NEVER WAS as our quarterbacks, AWSOME!!! So far this draft blows for the Bucs, great way to make a splash and get the fans excited.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:26 pm
Johnny Football is now Johnny Freefall
May 8th, 2014 at 9:28 pm
Good. I love Vincent Jackson, and players like him.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:28 pm
If Manziel continues to fall, they need to trade up to get him. Manziel/Evans……the chemistry is already there.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:28 pm
How hilarious will it be to see the Johnny Fans/Glennon haters around here if come Saturday night the Bucs don’t draft a QB at all? Get your popcorn ready…
May 8th, 2014 at 9:28 pm
We missed JF. Maybe come back. “The draft isn’t over,” Bucs GM Jason Licht says when asked about passing on Johnny Manziel. I doubt it. We drank the JF kool-aid….
May 8th, 2014 at 9:30 pm
My only contention is that it is a wasted pick. Don’t trade mike Williams and this would be a silly pick. This pick made that trade stupid.
The trade for revis was bucs worst? No flipping way, the mike Williams trade was since we now have the same comparable player with only a 6th rounder to show for it. Mike Evans can be good or great but it was an unnecessary pick if we would’ve kept Williams
May 8th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Solid football pick.
We have a real braintrust that’s not swayed by
the likes of Gruden (who is a great game-day coach)
but a terrible talent evaluator…
Last year McCown dominated in relief of Cutler by throwing
darts to two tall rangy wide receivers. Great pick.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Agreed Miracle. By drafting Evans, we basically just filled the hole that trading Williams left us.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
I didn’t watch alot of A&M football last year, but my first impression was that Mike Evans was a stud. He seemed to bail Manziel (refuse to refer as Johnny F×#$/^^*) out alot. Love this pick!
May 8th, 2014 at 9:34 pm
You mad?
May 8th, 2014 at 9:34 pm
@mpmalloy…………last time I checked, Marc Trestman won’t be on the Bucs coaching staff this season. The guy was horrible for 11 seasons before he went to Chicago.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:36 pm
If you think this pick is just “filling a hole” then I can’t help you. You obviously know nothing about football.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:36 pm
Jackson is 31 years old and at best has 2-3 years left in the tank. Evans is the 2nd best WR in the draft and some say a higher ceiling than Sammy Watkins this was a safe pick for the Bucs. Now to enjoy Manziel rot away in the green room Aaron Rodgers style…
May 8th, 2014 at 9:41 pm
Damn Cleveland has another 1st round pick? What is going on?
May 8th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
Manziel is terrible. Will fall and fall and fall. Evans made johnny, and was BPA.
May 8th, 2014 at 9:42 pm
Lovie’s presser said it all. The man is confident and took the best player for his team. Size rules in NFL. Go Bucs!
