As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned to practice Tuesday after their bye week, coach Raheem Morris was asked for an overview of the NFC South.

“It’s all clumped up in the NFC South,’’ Morris said. “(There is a) 'Somebody has to do it. Why not us?’' mentality in our locker room.’’

Morris has a point. The Saints are 5-3. The Bucs and Falcons each are 4-3. The Bucs play the Saints on Sunday. The Falcons play the Saints the following week. But Morris went a step further and included the Carolina Panthers in the mix.

“It is exactly what we thought it was going to be,’’ Morris said. “It is a fight. You got Atlanta , New Orleans and Carolina. The best 2-6 team I have seen in the NFL. I got a chance to watch a little bit of that game as a fan and (Cam Newton) is scary. Steve Smith, he is back. I guess he is back because I didn’t know he went anywhere.’’

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
