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.

    • Pretty sure that a QB contract payday is all the competition any QB in this league needs, I don't think a competent backup is going to make them play any harder when the current situation wouldn't warrant the contract extension yet anyways. Your opening point in this post is also the problem, "Bryce has shown signs of improving", but that's still all he's shown, and he's only showing that because of just how bad he was to start his career. If he played like last season from the beginning and never improved one bit, then I actually think more fans would be ready to move on from him, which is what's weird.  It's like going from one of the biggest draft busts of all time into the 25th best QB in the league over 3 years means he deserves a long term $40+ million a year contract extension. Improvement shouldn't be the goal when the result of said improvement is still bottom of the league levels.
    • Yeah, but we've seen him do it. Just not often. I think that's the reason for the taller WRs. Would likely be a problem finding someone like Jimmy Horn in the mess.
    • And the Rams, Seattle, Patriots, Green Bay, Jaguars and the Bills who all made the playoffs and in case you forgot, Seattle and the Patriots played in the SB. By any measure, that's pretty brutal.
