We won't have much of a D next year so cool. Should be fun to watch however it goes and if they crap on the Saints and Falcons then it's a free bonus to us for a year or two. 

Can I be a Bucs fan for just one season?

43 year old QB with diminishing arm strength and 31 year old injury prone TE past his prime on a team packed with WR who run mostly deep routes.  Talking about overhype.

Overhype until it isn’t

Naw. Just enjoy the poop show. If we are what we look like then enjoy the chaos and hope the year after is better. They are the Bucs...this isn't a sure thing. It could get entertaining tho.

Wasn't there already OJ Howard trade rumors? If this Gronk trade goes through, I have to think it's practically guaranteed he gets moved.

Arians never liked Howard for some strange reason. Think they tried to trade him last season. Curtis Samuel for Howard and a 2nd?

I don’t see that. The Bucs defense is foreal. Devin White is a stud and will be even better this year. Brady just need to be Brady. 

Bucs secondary and OL are garbage.  They have no good RB and slot WR. They are few injuries away from being garbage on both side of the field.

This is going to turn out very very poorly for the Bucs. They’re going to go all in with a 43 year old QB... Maybe they win a playoff game or two (which is a huge accomplishment considering their past 10+ years...) but no SB and then dumpster fire again in 2 years.

Thanks for jinxing us. Now, they go and draft Jedrick and Swift.

There's been trade rumors since this season.

 

In fact, I can tell you this.  The Patriots offered a 1st for Howard This season.  I know several players in the Bucs lockers room who thiught he was gone.  But the GM held out and didnt accept the deal.

If the Pats actually offered a 1st and the Bucs turned it down, they dumb as hell. If that's the case, I'm also surprised this trade isn't including him. Gotta think they would've been willing to do something like Gronk and a 2nd if they valued Howard as a 1st and Gronk as a late 4th/early 5th.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
