compliments of NFL.com...

Work to do: The Bucs had a nice draft with defensive ends Adrian Clayborn and Da'Quan Bowers. If the front four grows up quickly and young offensive players from last season -- LeGarrette Blount and Mike Williams -- stay hungry, the Bucs might win the division behind QB Josh Freeman. Carolina will be better than the two-win team from last season. Still, the Panthers might be a season or two away from holding their own against the other three, mainly because of the inexperience at quarterback.

lol I'm sorry but I can't see the Bucs replicating their 2010 season. Freeman is a stud but so many of their players played above their heads last year and I see them finishing 3rd at best(keep in mind I still think we'll finish 4th, but with a 6-10/7-9 record)

I like the Bucs...I like Freeman as much as any young QB in the league and HOPE that Cam is as good as he was in his first year.

Let them keep doubting us. It will make us that much more deadly and no one will see it coming. People underestimating us oughta give us a couple of winning games don't ya think?

What exactly have we proven? QB is still the biggest question mark on this team.

You do realize that if they get third, they'd be replicating their position from last year in the division? <: But yeah, I agree, for the most part. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucs were able to achieve 10-5 this year, although I haven't really taken a look at their games for this year. :\

We haven't proven anything yet but I like our chances in light of our ultimate lineup of weapons. If our defense is going to be as good as expected, our running game alone should keep us in the game. I'm not saying that we are going to the Playoffs (although that would be nice), we're going do alot better than 4 wins like everyone is predicting. I think we will at least have six wins but hey, I'm optimistic.

The NFC South is a fickle bitch who knows what anyone is going to do at this point really. The only things that are certain is that the Saints and Falcons will probably be competing for first place but sometimes things don't turn out the way that seems most likely.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
