Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion James 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]

Just how secure is OLB Danny Lansanah?
No team — no team in the NFL — needs a quarterback worse than the Bucs. It is truly how criminal how this franchise has neglected that most important position on the field.
And there is the leaky offensive line. (Joe is trying to play nice this afternoon, hence, why he used the term “leaky” rather than, say, “galling sieve.”) [read more]

Don’t laugh at the notion the Bucs’ offensive line may not be the worst in the NFL.
You would be hard-pressed to find a Bucs fan that doesn’t think the broken dam of an offensive line the Bucs had this past season is not the worst lot in the NFL.
From the complete and total turnstile that was Josh Allen, to the flag-happy Garrett Gilkey and the failed experiment with Oniel Cousins, to the benching of Anthony Collins and to the bruises all over Josh McCown’s body, it sure seemed like the Bucs had the NFL’s most inept front line. [read more]

Was Clinton McDonald the lone shining light of the March free agency haul?
Nothing but total accountability flowed from Bucs general manager Jason Licht’s mouth when he talked about his performance on the free agent market last season.
Of course, overlord of football operations Lovie Smith is a key cog, but Licht put it all on himself. [read more]

Offensive linemen are important, but never forget the Bucs won a Super Bowl with the notorious Kenyatta Walker starting at right tackle
Joe knows the Bucs need to upgrade the offensive line. Hell, you could probably find two dozen Chinese nationalists who know this. A guy with a white cane could see this.
But even the dead know that the Bucs need a quarterback. Goodness gracious. What does it take for people to figure out if you don’t have a quarterback, you have no shot in today’s NFL? None! [read more]

The ransom to move up from No. 20 to No. 1 to swap picks with the Bucs would be too obscene for Eagles strongman Chip Kelly.
Bucs fans are antsy these days, and it really isn’t because ghostly defensive end Michael Johnson may return. There are other reasons.
Bucs fans, all three types, the Jameis-Will-Save Us-types, the loud Mariota Gang and the tail-between-their-legs, scaredy-cats who can’t decide whether to walk across a street or not but want the Bucs to trade the No. 1 pick away, are all worked into a frenzy, partially ignited with the news yesterday that Jameis Winston decided to enter the 2015 draft.

NFL Network beats on the Bucs
How bad was the quarterbacking for Tampa Bay this season? Despite two 1,000-yard receivers, one of which perhaps had the best rookie year of any WR in NFL history, the Bucs finished ranked No. 30 in offense.
That is almost impossible to believe. Yet, if you watched turnover-prone quarterback Josh McCown bumble his way through the season, it really shouldn’t come as much of a shock. [read more]
