The spreadsheeters really like the Bucs’ signing of former Cowboys cornerback Sterling Moore.

The signing of Sterling Moore was met with a big yawn by many Bucs fans before they checked their phones for the tip off time of the next NCAA hoops game, cursing under their breath about Greg Hardy. (more…)

From fan feedback Joe received about free agency, there is disappointment because the Bucs didn’t go big-name hunting again. (more…)

Joe himself is an entrepreneur. Therefore, Joe likes those who have that spirit of creativity and uniqueness to make a few shekels for themselves. (more…)

The newest Buccaneer, Sterling Moore, has big goals.

His interest goes beyond the nickel cornerback role he played for the Cowboys last year. (more…)

Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion Jameis Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon.

It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback ever to wear No. 5 in the state of Florida. (more…)

Barring a change in plans, Tampa Bay will report back One Buc Palace in 30 days. Attendance is taken, physicals are performed, and practice and study begin with Dirk Koetter’s shiny new playbook. (more…)

Joe gets it a lot: folks asking why the Bucs don’t sign this guy or that guy.

Understandable. Fans, kicked in the nuts annually in recent years, desperately want the Bucs to improve so they can look forward to Sundays and good football for a refreshing change. (more…)

You know the Bucs have a long, long, long road to travel and mountains to climb before we soberly can discuss the Bucs and the Super Bowl in the same sentence.

When a team is 2-14, that is about as far away from a Super Bowl as one can get.

Off the top of Joe’s head, the only position group the Bucs may have that’s better than the team that lost the Super Bowl, the Seahawks, would be wide receiver. (more…)

There’s a new draft guru in town, and he played years for the Buccaneers.

When pressed for a Tampa Bay second-round pick on the offensive line, this guy moved his chips all in for Ereck Flowers, the gargantuan out of Miami. (more…)

Since his Pro Bowl, rookie season of 2012, Doug Martin just hasn’t been the same. Injuries have something to do with that.

Martin lost a good chunk of 2013 with a shoulder injury and, after getting off to a terrible start, Martin admitted to Joe after the final game that he was injured early in the year, which affected his rushing prowess. (more…)

Is stud franchise quarterback Philip Rivers on the trading block for the right draft pick? (more…)

It doesn’t happen often, but there is dissent at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. (more…)

It was a bad year to have an ugly season and emerge with a pile of available salary cap money.

That was the word from one NFL executive. (more…)

How would UCLA DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa look in pewter and red?

OK, so free agency, unless the Bucs are looking for bargains at depth, is over. Given how the Bucs “won” free agency season last spring, Joe is happy the Bucs lost so terribly this spring.

Just a hunch, but Joe’s guessing Team Glazer is happy Nexium can be purchased over the counter now. (more…)

The spreadsheeters find an interesting nugget

There are only three things you need to know about the 2014 Bucs offense:

1. The starting quarterback was jettisoned well before the free agency dinner bell rang. Never made it to an OTA.

2. The Bucs will likely draft a quarterback first overall. (more…)

No, Joe can’t come to grips with the Woody Hayes crowd, the same crowd that cries “defense wins championships” in a quarterback-driven league, like a neighbor’s dog howling at the moon at 2 a.m. (more…)

How dare the Tennessee Titans invite the heir apparent to the Tampa Bay throne to their Nashville facility for a private workout!

And Jameis Winston accepted, per ProFootballTalk.com and 24/7 Sports. (more…)

Joe vividly remembers eating eggs, melon and toast with Lovie Smith at last year’s NFL Owners meetings and hearing Lovie say he signs free agents who plan to be starters. (more…)

According to NFL.com, Sterling Moore, the Cowboys’ part-time nickel cornerback last year, finished the season with 12 passes defensed.

In Tampa, starters Johnthan Banks and Alterraun Verner combined for 19. (more…)

Joe was torn about the Greg Hardy sweepstakes.

Joe thoroughly understood why folks didn’t want Hardy and his legal problems infesting the Bucs locker room. But on the other hand, it’s rare to have a team without a proven double-digit sack artist, like the Bucs have been for a decade. (more…)

Boston College center on Bucs’ radar.

Joe has been adamant that the Bucs should draft nothing but offensive linemen after they select Jameis Winston, followed their choice of an edge rusher.

Between the two milk cartons O-linemen the Bucs drafted last year, and whoever they draft this year, one would suspect a decent lineman or two would shake out from that group. (more…)
