Joe stated previously that the Bucs could look to upgrade as many as nine starting positions. If Joe can see that, surely Bucs coach Lovie Smith can see that.
And how that translates into “on the verge,” Joe just can’t quite figure out without the help of Jack Daniels. [read more]
Who could forget the Captain?
In many ways, Tampa Bay’s 2014 season was more bizarre than the MRSA-infected, quarterback-gone-mental, Fire-Schiano-billboards campaign of 2013.
There were plenty of real Bucs mysteries last year, and Joe’s revisiting the most interesting of the bunch. [read more]
The stat geeks are not impressed with Bucs DE Jacquies Smith.
It just blows Joe’s mind that year after year after year, no matter who runs the show, no matter who the shot-caller is, the Bucs urinate in the wind trying to find an edge rusher.
It is sad the team has yet to retain a replacement for Simeon Rice (who Joe thinks should be under serious consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame). For goodness sake, that was nine years ago. [read more]
During the glory years, Bucs fans, and the President, embraced a running back with a bad history.
Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy is a manbeast young Pro Bowl pass rusher who missed nearly all of last season courtesy of the NFL, a result of a North Carolina judge saying he was guilty of misdemeanor domestic abuse. (Chilling and sometimes humorous highlights here.)
But Hardy appealed and demanded a jury trial, and his case was thrown out today. [read 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 and Josh McCown.
It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback to wear No. 5 ever in the state of Florida. [read more]
Awaken the Mike Glennon Mob!
A man inside the Bucs’ locker room last season weighs in on the ousting of Tampa Bay’s young quarterback. [read more]
Joe just doesn’t get it. The thought drives him out of his mind. The following premise makes zero sense in any way shape or form:
The Bucs should trade back and pass on drafting a quarterback. [read more]
Joe’s somewhat stunned by a new plateau that was reached over the weekend.
As JoeBucsFan.com turned 6 1/2 years old, Joe typed up his 20,000th post on these pages. [read more]
New Bucs OC Dirk Koetter wants a quick mind calling signals.
Bucs fans are trying to play Maxwell Smart to figure out who the Bucs will choose as their next quarterback come April 30 (if Tampa Bay drafts a quarterback).
One reason fans are trying to be sleuths (and the Bucs are doing their best with their own version of Enigma) is there is nothing else going on. [read more]

Man, the offensive line was some kind of bad last year. Joe wonders if turnover-prone quarterback Josh McCown had to seek a shrink after getting pounded like a red-headed stepchild. [read more]
A coaching non-move makes the list
In many ways, Tampa Bay’s 2014 season was more bizarre than the MRSA-infected, quarterback-gone-mental, Fire-Schiano-billboards campaign of 2013.
There were plenty of real Bucs mysteries last year, and Joe’s revisiting the most interesting of the bunch. [read more]
The Bucs have a pile of cash to play with when the free agency dinner bell rings in 30 short days.
And they could almost double it by cutting dead weight, such as Josh McCown’s fat, $5 million contract. [read more]
Three-time Pro Bowler and four-time Super Bowl champion Ken Norton, Jr.
Three-time Pro Bowler and four-time Super Bowl champ Ken Norton, Jr., was named defensive coordinator of the Raiders yesterday.
Joe talked to Norton about the Bucs during Super Bowl week in Phoenix. [read more]
Oh, there are going to be changes on the Bucs. There better damn well be!
When you are the worst team in the NFL, when you win but two games, if there are not significant changes, then NFL s(p)it rolls uphill, not so much downhill. [read more]

A Lovie Smith quote remains baffling five months later
In many ways, Tampa Bay’s 2014 season was more bizarre than the MRSA-infected, quarterback-gone-mental, Fire-Schiano-billboards campaign of 2013.

Player trades aren’t too common in the NFL, but Tampa Bay has made plenty under the Jason Licht-Lovie Smith regime.
The Bucs love to pick up that red phone. [read more]
A counterpoint to Chucky
The way the Bucs defense got absolutely lit up like a roman candle on the Fourth of July early last season, Joe couldn’t believe his eyes. Lovie Smith was supposed to be a defensive guru.
Defensive gurus don’t get seal-clubbed the way the Bucs did against the Dixie Chicks and the Crows. It was embarrassing. [read more]
Joe always is suspicious of stats. Aside from the fact stats give Joe flashbacks to nuns with pointers and grade school math classes, Joe learned in high school that anyone can twist numbers any way they like in order to prove a point. [read more]
Keyshawn Johnson lashes out
