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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
