Bucs Sign Josh McCown

He won't help them much. He was an overachieving veteran backup (who is a quality player, but nowhere near great) who filled in on Trestman's new offense with all the Bears' weapons (Forte, Marshall, Bennett, Jeffrey). It's unclear to me whether he'll be competing with Glennon, or backing him up / pushing him, or just having McCown come in as the starter. I wonder if they'll draft a QB too... Maybe Carr if he falls to them in the 2nd?

What I've been told about a landing spot for Smith is Tampa if certain things fall a certain way. Smitty is apparently good friends with Josh McCown from his tenure here with us. The Bucs have (allegedly) told McCown that he would start in the event he signed with them. If that is the case, he would probably convince Steve to play down in Tampa with him, they could room together and be buds all the time again. McCown’s family lives in Charlotte apparently. If this is the case then Smitty would have the opportunity to play with his buddy, a QB that is familiar with him and would possibly favor him as a target, as well as play the panthers twice a year.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
