How much more McCown should Bucs fans endure?
Look, Joe’s been calling for the end of the failed Josh McCown experience within hours of McCown’s third consecutive bad game on Sept, 18.

Today, McCown imploded again late in the first half, just like he did in Chicago, and never recovered. [read more]

Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. on BSPN
Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, 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.
Joe’s already predicted the Seminoles’ first loss. No, Joe is NOT a Gators fan.
Bang your comments here all game long. It should be a good one.
Bucs icon Ronde Barber often joins his twin brother on national CBS Sports radio to talk football.
