This is completely out of speculation. Considering LT, Brian Westbrook, and Jamal Lewis were all released this week, Larry Johnson, Kevin Faulk, and Chester Taylor are expected to become free agents, and Thomas jones is expected to be released… What are the chances the Bucs go after one of them?? We all know the Bucs have a horrible ground game and they could use a veteran back to mentor a possible draft choice at running back. What do you think??

LT and westbrook are the two i would put on top of the list....esp. LT. while i could see them waiting until after the draft to make a move i wouldn't be a bit surprised to see either one of these guys picked up as soon as FA opens.

i understand about them having a young team but experieince back there could make a lot of difference.

remember this...they are starting a still pretty green QB next year. that means a heavy emphasis on the run game and they are going to want to get the best available players there.

last year they picked up the best available RB FA there was. most of the guys in the crop of FA RBs this year are well ahead of ward. you could say that any of LT, westy, LJ would be much better RBs than any of the ones they currently have. LJ behind a decent OLine could still be lethal.

adding chester taylor or kevin faulk would be a real help to them as well. either one of those two guys would be really smart acquisitions considering how weak we are against receiving RBs typically.

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
