Though Joe is convinced Josh Freeman is the Bucs’ bust-in-waiting, to Freeman’s credit he has gotten off on the right foot.

In a chat on NFL.com yesterday, Freeman proved he’s already more honest than his coach when he said the Bucs signed quarterback Byron Leftwich as a “smokecreen.”

Even when they picked up Byron Leftwich. It was something they told me -– they told me it was a smoke screen, everybody would think they didn’t want a QB. They said they were ready to trade up. I think it worked out great. I was sitting there with my family and enjoying it, and I got to go to the team that I wanted to go to.

Good job kid! You are already winning brownie points with Joe for being honest. Of course, you probably got in trouble from Raheem The (Bad?) Dream.

Then again, you will be laughing all the way to the bank, huh, kid? (While Bucs fans are still crying in their pillows.)
