freeman may well start somewhere; he sure as hell is going to want a shot at a starting job in camp even if there's competition. if he came here there'd be no competition.

zero chances he ends up in carolina.

There are enough QB deficient teams out there that I'm pretty sure he can get a starting job somewhere.

He should start in Oakland. Greg Olson was his coordinator when he had the most success.

 

i could see this happening and they wouldn't have to pay freeman anything more than the vet min because tampa is already footing the bill.

Money's voice is usually pretty loud.

He's not exactly hurting for money in his current job.

Peter King asked him about it. You can see his answer here.

Shaw has said elsewhere that he plans to stay at Stanford until his kids graduate, and pointed out that he has a two year old.

He's not coming here, or anywhere else in the NFL, anytime soon (if ever).

With the mess Schiano has made in Tampa and Kelly having issues in Philly, it might start getting tough for college coaches to get NFL jobs again.

Granted, Kelly still could turn things around, but Schiano may have set the Bucs back for a while.

 

A college coach coming straight to the NFL succeeds something like once ever 10-15 years (if that). The last 2 college coaches to successfully come from to the NFL were probably Jimmy Johnson (1988) and Jim Harbaugh (2011).

Johnson wasn't anywhere near as successful when he coached a team that couldn't just outspend everybody for the best players.

Saban, Petrino and Spurrier soured NFL owners on college coaches for a while. I could see something like that happening again, especially if Kelly fails.

Apparently Freeman's contract didn't include any offset language which means the Bucs have to pay his salary.

Ok, I stole that from twitter. Here you go

@caplannfl: Because there's no offset language in Freeman's contract, the Bucs still owe him the remainder of his contract.

@caplannfl: Plus, he'll get whatever he receives from the next team he signs with. Double-dip time.

That's worse then what happened with us and Jake Delhomme.  At least Jake was a loyal Panther who wasn't intentionally vying for the double dip opportunity that he got with Cleveland.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
