The Real Problem is and no matter what else the Buccaneers do this off-season
If the Buccaneers do not replace Todd Bowles with Jim Schwartz for DC, nothing else will matter!!!

The person who makes all the personnel and defensive decisions is returning. The person who touches the ball every offensive play is returning. How can you reasonably expect things to change for the better? Evans saw what we all saw…a team thats gotten worse since winning one playoff game 3 years ago.
Evans left because of Licht, Bowles and Baker. You don’t love your QB and really believe in him, just to leave for less money. You talk about 3rd and 28 but Mike was just as upset at consistent overthrows and ints. Evans got injured on an overthrow (and dpi).
I’ll root for Evans cause he was my favorite Buc not named Brooks. In the meantime the Bucs enter the season with low energy and low expectations.

I think the answers to the following two questions would explain a lot about Mike’s uncharacteristic actions.
What happened before, during and after the bye week ?
What happened after Mike’s shoulder blade injury ?
A speculative question to be asked; Were the Bucs going to IR Mike after his injury ?

The “family decision” reason, excuse, justification-whatever is sneaky good truth spun inside a professional, polite, media savvy lie. It leads us to think of Evans, his wife and their children but the family with the standing issues that drove the Evans family from Tampa is the Glazer family. They are a pack of Dan Snyders. Awkward? How about inept due to a lack of basic humanity?
Licht is a man in an unenviable position who has done admirably well maintaining his integrity sandwiched between inhuman owners and a traumatized fan base. All these words over this departure expressing idiosyncratic certainties from a lot of perspectives are a dance around the true things of which no one dares to speak.
I’m grateful the Joes gave this failure the focus it deserves and provide us a space to grieve. Grieving is messy. If only the Joes could send a sample of their integrity and humanity to the Glazers.
How about a sit down with the Glazers and Mayfield after three too many skinnyritas? Now that could be something revelatory but no one wants that, not even me. The right thing to do is keep up with the willful ignorance, don’t dare share untoward observations or opinions that could make certain individuals contemplate getting a complex. Just focus on our personal scapegoats so we can enjoy football. Don’t be goons with diarrhea of the mouth like White. Play the game until the team plays the football games this fall and hopefully we all forget all the old failures. Again.
Or just be grateful for all the wonderful things that come with being a Bucs fan.
