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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
