Pewter Report Expectations (prepare to laugh)

It seems that Cam Newton can't beat anyone with his arm, we have a horrible rushing defense, the buccaneers have an all world defensive line, and that the Panthers secondary could get more done if they sat on the bench. 

 

Enjoy! 

I've been waiting all semester for this!

Quote: Considering they've beaten us four straight games, we've lost 10 straight at home, Gerald's Hurt, we can't stop the run, they added Jared Allen and Luke Weakly should be back this week I have little confidence the Bucs will win this game.
But who knows? Maybe they'll surprise me. Hope springs eternal."

The one fanbase in the NFL that actually loathes Luke Kuechly as if he's to blame for why no one mentions Lavonte David and not the fact that they haven't been relevant since Josh Freeman...

You are 100% correct on that observation.  I have a couple friends from college who are TB fans (no idea why) and over the last 2 years when I'm around them all they ever want to talk about is how LaVonte David is actually better than Kuechly.

I guess when you've been as putrid as they've been you've got to grasp at straws...

Were they relevant back then? I thought it was for 45 minutes back in 2002.

There were actually people who thought Freeman was better than Cam. And before Cam sent Raheem Morris packing in a beat down around Christmas of 2011 and they hired Schiano to throw gasoline on the dumpster fire they actually looked decent.

That one time they did well apparently resonated with the folks at Grantland so much that they are constantly the favorite to always bounce back in the division and it never happens.

Enjoy! 

our defense ranks 4th among all NFL teams pertaining to yards gained by rushes.

have they figured out yet that they really should have drafted Mariota

I wonder what that conversation in the war room was like...

"Mariota looks like a good prospect, guys, but we'd be better off taking the guy in the midst of a sexual assault case that threw 18 interceptions last year in the ACC."

well, he was the most NFL ready QB in the draft.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
