Lovie likes the experienced, recycled QBs.  When he was hired in Chicago, he inherited Rex Grossman, the first round pick from the year before.   He eventually switched to Orton and then traded 2 first rounders and Orton to Denver for Cutler.  He had to play Rex for a while because the team invested a first rounder, but I am sure Lovie is too old for a deja vu experience.

 

I thought this draft was loaded at QB.  I think you will find that Minnesota got the steal of the draft.

I kinda liked him under center.

Not going to light it up, but will hold his own for a few games.

Still no idea why they ditched Freeman so soon

Exactly why I think they'll win just enough to avoid picking at the very top of each round in the '15 draft, but nothing more.

Off topic and time will tell, but I think Minnesota's never ending QB woes will continue. Teddy B looks so weak and frail to me, and nearly every team (including the Vikes) passed on him at least once. Though he was thought to be the #1 pick for much of last year and seems to have a decent head on his shoulders, I think he'll be eaten alive in the dog eat dog world that is the NFL.

I disagree.

 

 

Teddy was the best QB in this draft, IMO, and I think that he will have a good career, but he does need to shorten his delivery and release.  He doesn't have the zip to have a slow delivery.

The bucs have a coach that is starting a 35-year old career backup and there were solid QBs throughout the draft--I use Minnesota to illustrate the point. It means to me that Lovie didn't want another rookie. They could have easily traded up to get Bridgewater, ranked the draft's best player by many outlets before the pro days.   How is that off topic?

 

Bridgewater is a qb who gets the game, of course, he could be injured.  I would not have him run much and he would have a stud line in front of him---something that is pretty solid now in Minnesota.

Gotcha. And even if it was off topic, doesn't bother me, I enjoy reading/discussing.

Coach Lovie Smith confirmed Mike Glennon will be the Bucs' No. 2 quarterback this season.

 

Should be 'at the start of this season'. He was supposed to be #2 last season too. If McCown hangs in and has a decent season and Smith thinks he can play 'til he's 40, I hope Glennon gets out of Tampa. He's good enough to start for the right team and that's not the Bucs, as long as they love Lovie.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
