Gabbert Lost With Dislocated Shoulder
August 23rd, 2019
Out
Look for the Bucs to add a quarterback by Sunday morning.
They’re in the QB market, Bucco Bruce Arians said moments ago after the Bucs beat the Browns at the Den Of Depression. No. 2 QB Blaine Gabbert went down with a dislocated left shoulder after being tackled on a scramble early in the second half. He clearly was in pain and was seen waving to the sidelines for help. Chatter at the stadium was that Gabbert could need surgeyr.
No. 3 QB Ryan Griffin has played well in preseason, but he turns 30 in November and has never thrown a regular-season pass.
It’s no surprise that Arians would want more insurance than a guy who hasn’t accomplished anything. Arians has said all along during his Bucs tenure that he’s re-loading, not rebuilding. Gabbert has made 48 NFL starts.
Joe wonders if the wild and wacky world of the Bucs soap opera will somehow see Jon Gruden keep his new pet Nathan Peterman as the Raiders’ backup and cut Mike Glennon, who would then find his way back to Tampa.

Bad news for Gabbert but good news for us.
Griffin ain’t bad…..
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:22 pm
I would be fine with Griffin as the only back up. We need so much depth everywhere else
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:23 pm
RG4 gonna go out dancing tonight
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:24 pm
Griffin will know the offense better than any new QB signed and he has produced so far. He should be Winston’s back up now. No brainer.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:24 pm
Griffin vs Glennon…about equal. Griffin might be better
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:25 pm
Tom Brady is 42. Griffin is still young at 30.
And frankly, I wouldn’t assume he’d be a bad option at backup just because he doesn’t have regular season experience. The kid is highly improved since Arians came in.
Arians talked about how things just fell into place for this job…well, they just fell into place for Ryan Griffin too.
Frankly, if Griffin doesn’t get the #2 job, then Arians is a hypocrite.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:26 pm
Aren’t Gabbert and Griffin the same age?
Why mention it?
If he can play he can play.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:27 pm
Ryan Griffin would be a good #2…….and, he should have had some snaps in the NFL……he’s been on our roster for 4 years…..there were at least a couple of years where we were out of playoff contention early……that is when you send in a QB like Griffin to get some experience…….didn’t happen.
And, how is he ever going to get an NFL snap if he isn’t the #2 backup?
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:27 pm
#1 backup, if you will>….
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:29 pm
I mean, what else does the guy have to do to prove himself? He was the best player through this preseason!
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:29 pm
Glennon is ok but Ryan Griffen is# 2
in past games JW#3 would of been desperate to throw the ball open and get the drive moving and thereby throwing interception or spitting the ball out during a sack. So even though he was sacked multiple times, we lived to play another down. He looks better. Our O-line was awful and we have to get better somehow or we aint gonna have Jameis for long. Jameis needs to get his timimg with BP. Happy with defense overall.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:29 pm
Even without the injury to Gabbert, I would have chose RG4 as Winston’s back up. He has shown a ton of improvement. Why keep pushing him down?
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:31 pm
Glennon? Please no. I can’t deal with him on the Bucs again. No better than Mclown.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:36 pm
It’s regrettable that an injury has to save a coach from his own bias. It doesn’t matter that Gabbert has NFL starts under his belt, not really. What the hell good does it do anyone if you’ve started games, performed up to your ceiling (which is mediocre, at best) and lost a poop ton of games? Give Griff a chance, coach!
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:38 pm
Garrett Gilbert from the Browns!
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:41 pm
Arians has no reason to want Glennon.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:42 pm
Arians says he’s looking for a QB for Thursday night’s game because he doesn’t want to play Griffin much……will we see Testeverde?…….
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:54 pm
Look at it this way, RG4 has produced behind our awful stating OL’s backups. He should be a hall of famer for that feat. Lol
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:58 pm
Is there an editor employed here? The spelling mistakes are frequently missed… sometimes even whole words are missing.
August 23rd, 2019 at 11:59 pm
and the thing is, they don’t give Griff a chance he’s probably played his last game ever in the NFL this last preseason game if they don’t give the whole game to Testaverde Jr.. Tonight might’ve been his last.
August 24th, 2019 at 12:01 am
How old is Fitzpatrick? Kind of irrelevant don’t you think?
August 24th, 2019 at 12:01 am
So true Rayjay
August 24th, 2019 at 12:18 am
Kaeperick time!
August 24th, 2019 at 12:23 am
Kaepernick. Lmao. The worst QB, American and human being of all time! Lmao
August 24th, 2019 at 12:36 am
Where is the Beard when you need him?! Oh yeah, or HOF “backup” is a starting QB week 1 once again, starting for his NFL record eighth team.

By my count that’s at least 4 broken shoulders by QBs that this oline has allowed or better yet produced.
August 24th, 2019 at 12:48 am
Why wouldn’t you bring in Kap for a try-out if nothing else?. While your at it why not sell the team to Jay-Z?
August 24th, 2019 at 12:57 am
Could be a blessing. If there is no additional damage to the shoulder, full recovery time is six weeks. Gabbert can be placed on IR and be recalled later in the season or kept there. This will allow us to keep 3 QBs but only have 2 on the active roster. I suspect Vinny’s son or a QB from Arian’s Cardinal days will be quickly signed to take the brunt of the snaps in our mast preseason game. Of course because a dislocated shoulder heals fully in six weeks, Gabbert may stay on active roster because he’d be 100% by week 5 and probably able to play by week 2 or 3.
August 24th, 2019 at 1:04 am
Great. Now the Bucs can be part of the Kaepernick idiocy. However, given this O Line, our QBs are going to be on their knees quite often so maybe he is well suited.
August 24th, 2019 at 1:16 am
They bring in Kaepernick and I’m done. That’s the kind of drama we don’t need.
August 24th, 2019 at 2:03 am
Josh Freeman is available.
August 24th, 2019 at 2:06 am
They’re not bringing in Kaepernick, anyone talking about that piece of garbage is fake news.
August 24th, 2019 at 3:27 am
Zero depth on this team. Over the season you will see that play out
August 24th, 2019 at 5:08 am
I would never root for someone to get injured and it’s a shame he is. That said, as a player Gabbert is trash and Griffin deserves the job.
August 24th, 2019 at 5:27 am
Griffin is awesome!
Keep him!
August 24th, 2019 at 5:49 am
If our OLine plays like it did last night during the season then we’d better sign 4 or 5 backup QBs. Playing behind an OLine like that Jameis would have trouble lasting half a season.
August 24th, 2019 at 6:07 am
I’d give Griffin a chance, it’s not like the Bucs are going to win much this year with our pathetic O-line. Give him some reps in a regular season game and then decide.
August 24th, 2019 at 7:20 am
If there is any place for Kaepernick it is here. If our o-line lets Winston do a mobile QB might stay upright long enough to score.
August 24th, 2019 at 8:43 am
Calling Mr. Kapernick anybody?
August 24th, 2019 at 8:43 am
Take a knee on that stupid idea.
August 24th, 2019 at 8:45 am
Bring in Tebow.
August 24th, 2019 at 9:18 am
Forget about bringing in QB’s, bring in some O linemen who can actually block someone!!
August 24th, 2019 at 11:14 am
Come on guys, it’s gunna be Vincent Testaverde who gets the call. I wouldn’t mind Griffin being our #2 for the year. Trust him WAY more than Gabbert.
August 24th, 2019 at 12:28 pm
he was a real american
August 24th, 2019 at 12:33 pm
Ryan griffin has showed he can lead teams to a win in preseason give the man a chance winsto. Has t showed me anything except the same stuff and he hasnt fumbled yet i will give him that
August 24th, 2019 at 12:35 pm
Trade winston and pierrie paul for a oline man and somehow bring in clowney with cap space will be fine with griffin sign kapernick as back up problem solved
August 24th, 2019 at 12:53 pm
I’ll just go with the Browns are touted as playoff favorites by many and seeing that D convinces me they likely win their division. Changing of the guard from Steelers or Ravens.
August 24th, 2019 at 1:38 pm
Hey Joe, your voy Johny Manziel is available!…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
August 24th, 2019 at 1:39 pm
*boy
August 24th, 2019 at 4:24 pm
Griffin should be the number two either way. He’s done nothing but perform well in the last two preseasons and deserves a shot if Winston goes down. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that but if so let him play. It’s funny but he kind of reminds me of the the guy he watched for two years. Questions of a weak arm but all he does is perform. Either way Gabbert and his 48 starts of futility will give us no hope Griffin does.
August 25th, 2019 at 8:45 am
The Browns third QB was the mvp of the Orlando team coached by Steve Spurrier and he is a great QB. If the Browns only keep two grab him. Under no circumstance bring back Albatross Glennon and Kaepernick would cost you to lose a lot of your fan base! If Gabbert comes back it should be as the third QB but we would be better off giving him an injury settlement. Better to take back our former Mississippi State QB as soon as he is well as our third QB who has more potential than Gabbert and would be a lot cheaper.
August 25th, 2019 at 8:48 am
Now that BA has trained Jameis to avoid turnovers work on improving his long ball accuracy and your makeover is done!
