Might a Division II returner be the Bucs’ next main man?

One 2014 failure has yet to be addressed.

And yes, Joe considers cutting ghostly and ghastly Michael Johnson to be addressing the defensive end position via a glorious subtraction. [read more]

The Bucs will draft a quarterback on April 30 when the bell rings on the 2015 NFL Draft. Simple as that, to coin one of Lovie Smith’s favorite phrases.

But hold on, Lovie said yesterday. [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.

It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback ever to wear No. 5 in the state of Florida. [read more]

Las Vegas Does Not Like Bucs

March 20th, 2015

?????????????

You know the Bucs have a long, long, long road to travel and mountains to climb before we soberly can discuss the Bucs and the Super Bowl in the same sentence.

When a team is 2-14, that is about as far away from a Super Bowl as one can get.

Off the top of Joe’s head, the only position group the Bucs may have that’s better than the team that lost the Super Bowl, the Seahawks, would be wide receiver. [read more]

Since his Pro Bowl, rookie season of 2012, Doug Martin just hasn’t been the same. Injuries have something to do with that.

Martin lost a good chunk of 2013 with a shoulder injury and, after getting off to a terrible start, Martin admitted to Joe after the final game that he was injured early in the year, which affected his rushing prowess. [read more]

How would UCLA DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa look in pewter and red?

OK, so free agency, unless the Bucs are looking for bargains at depth, is over. Given how the Bucs “won” free agency season last spring, Joe is happy the Bucs lost so terribly this spring.

Just a hunch, but Joe’s guessing Team Glazer is happy Nexium can be purchased over the counter now. [read more]
