huh?

 

he didn't show up for the team picture and there was a meeting prior to the game on sunday. freeman wasn't named captain. it's no secret that schiano isn't really a fan of freeman and it's no secret that his own players have been unhappy with him and his coaching staff. one of the coaches got into a shoving match with his player last year and another player after getting beat asked if they can't send those coaches back to college.

 

it's not hard to put the pieces together.

 

And now Deadspin is saying the Bucs leaked the news about the team picture to make Freeman look bad.

 

People are just throwing out wild theories based on some serious leaps of logic. I know the Bucs locker room seems dysfunctional but the media is making them into the Jets South. There might be some facts in the story but I don't buy into some of this conspiracy crap.

Because not once is evidence actually produced to suggest that he did.

It's all stemming from a Tampa beat writer tossing out wild speculation like it's truth and the national media picking up on it and running away with it.

Well he did count the vote. And Freeman has been a captain for three years. Then a players only meeting before the season even starts. Doesn't smell right to me.

I salivate at the prospect of beginning the Bucs descent into darkness for the SECOND time.

 

third time. don't forget about how bad they were the last couple years with gruden. people don't remember that his players were getting really tired of him and his douchiness towards the end, esp. when they were losing.

Awesome Thread Title....  Henceforth I will always think of them as Tampon Bay.  Fits on so many levels

 

The only thing I would caution though is that winning makes everything better, and regardless of their issues, they have a lot of talent on that team.  If they start winning, this amounts to nothing.

 

If they lose a few more, though, I could see their season going south in a hurry. 

 

Greg Schiano has to be one of the most unlikeable people in the NFL.  Wants to be Bill Parcells or Bill Belichick without ever accomplishing anything.

 

The other thing is the saying about glass houses- if the Panthers can't win Sunday, this season and Rivera's future might be going south in a hurry too

One thing I will say is the TBO writers seem to be fairly balanced covering the team, so I do take stock in what they are saying.  Something is way off when your QB loses his "C" patch and misses the team photo.

 

Say what you will about Josh Freeman, but he is probably in the top 10 in terms of physical talent for the QB position, and it Tampa got rid of him, he would land on his feet somewhere else with a chance to start.  I hope TB turns the ball over to Mike Glennon.  A lesser version of Matt Ryan.

 

QB's don't lose their Captain status under normal conditions- just doesn't happen.  If Newton loses his, it's a bad sign

 

The TBO writers are not like the AJC and NOLA writers who are basically extensions of their respective team's propaganda arms and verbally fellate them 99% of the time.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
