PFT: Bucs dealing with realities of online message boards

Like most if not all NFL teams, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a bulletin board feature on their official web site, allowing teams to post messages and otherwise interact.

For the bad teams, "interaction" quickly becomes "venting."

And the fans of the Bucs are venting by applying an unflattering nickname to first-year coach Raheem Morris.

Per JoeBucsFan.com, they're calling Morris "Radio," the title character of a movie in which Cuba Gooding, Jr. plays a developmentally disabled man who finds acceptance with a local high school football team.

And now the moderator of the Buccaneers' bulletin board has asked fans to stop using the name.

Which, of course, will only cause them to use it more aggressively.

But here's the reality -- if you're going to have a bulletin board or a comments section and you want to keep the people who visit it from using certain terms or names, the only alternative to screening the submitted content by hand is to not have a bulletin board or a comments section at all.

Or to grow thicker skin.

As anyone who peruses from time to time the PFT comments, you'll realize that we've opted generally for door number three.

And I'm glad we did. Otherwise, I never would have known that my last name can be twisted into so many, um, colorful alternatives.

Ouch :(

I always thought the Panthers decision to close their boards was petty and thin-skinned.

Yeah, it's all a reflection of Richardson. He wants everything related to the Panthers to be family oriented.

I agree with the last part of that article. If teams want a message board on their official site, either grow thick skin or just don't have one in the first place.

I actually agree with the 'family atmosphere' at the stadium. I just think it's poorly planned and executed.

Other teams still manage a family atmosphere without reining in fan enthusiasm. It just seems to be the Panthers who can't find that balance.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
