Quote of the Week III

"I can take getting beat by a better football team. I wish they were.''

-- Tampa Bay coach Raheem Morris, on the Carolina Panthers.

Hmmm. Panthers beat the Bucs by 19. Panthers outgained the Bucs by 100 yards. Josh Freeman was sitting with an injury, yes. But I wonder how Ron Rivera's going to take being demeaned like that after a 38-19 road victory ... particularly with the Bucs visiting Charlotte in 19 days.

One more note: Carolina and Tampa Bay are 4-8, and the Panthers, by virtue of the tiebreaker, are in third place in the NFC South. The Bucs are dead last.

That quote's the definition of bulletin-board material for Carolina.

The whole press conference is posted here:http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2011120407/2011/REG13/panthers@buccaneers#tab=recap&recap=quicktake&menu=highlights (might need to find it in the menu on the right)

You wish they were the better team? Dude, you just got creamed in your creamsicle uniforms AT HOME. Raheem...been nice knowing you. Wonder who the Bucs will hire next year?

While the Rex Ryan approach isn't a good one in my opinion, I don't think they fire him this year. The players all love playing for him and he's young and energetic. But hell, maybe coach's have a shorter leash these days, so I could be wrong.

As for that comment he made, I was a little pissed when I read that too. I guess people are STILL having a tough time coming to grips with the fact that the Panthers are a 100% different team in almost every aspect than last year...

I typically stay clear of post game trash talk, because i don't think it's classy unless the opposing team was going overboard prior to the game.

But now I can't wait until Christmas Eve. We're gonna slaughter you again Raheem and put an end to your miserable little coaching career.

Didnt they show a stat during the game that Cam had more yards than the entire Tampa offense? It was during the 3rd qtr IIRC... But, yea..its too bad we're not a better team than the Buc's...

In this league, youre only as good as your last game, and Raheem? Your last game you gots your asses whooped...

bucs fans want him gone... he can't really handle both HC and DC... not to mention he lets his OC do an end around on 3rd and short. pretty awful. sent price home for unsportsmanlike but didnt do it to talib in the london game? doesn't make sense. you never know with the glazers though. theyre pretty lazy and more focused on soccer. dominik seems like a good GM who can grab good talent (freeman, penn, joseph, mike williams, the young DL, foster, etc) but the coaching just isnt getting it done.

but anyway yeah i hope we beat their asses again lol. wonder if rivera will field a question about it this week and how his response will be.

Damn, is everyone on this board marginally deaf? Between Smitty's yelling and Raheem's presser you guys have serious hearing issues (and SI fugged up the transcript.)

He said "Which they were, make no mistake about that."

In what context does "make no mistake about that" work if he said "I wish they were?"

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
