Though Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com loves Davin Joesph, he's not overly impressed with the Bucs' offseason moves thus far.

Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com was a guest on Sirius NFL Radio’s “The Blitz” today with Adam Schein and Solomon Wilcots and he had quite a bit to say about the Bucs.

To suggest Marvez, a longtime NFL writer, has modest reservations about the Bucs this upcoming season is to suggest Obama is open-minded to cutting checks to incompetent white collar types.

Marvez said, in short, the Bucs do not have the horses for defensive coordinator Jim Bates to piece together a decent defense nor do the Bucs have a quarterback worthy of leading a team to a playoff push.

After pretty much unloading on the defensive front-seven Marvez said, “The defensive tackles… I don’t think [the Bucs] have the personnel to run a Bates system.”

Then, Marvez took aim at the offense.

“If they think a fifth round pick from last season has a chance to be the starting quarterback… that’s a major drawback. They’ve always said they wanted someone to compete [at quarterback] which to me, my guess is Brian Griese is the odd man out.

“They did add a lot of talent on the offensive side. I love the run blocking strength of the offensive line. I think Davin Joseph is a beast. They even have good depth there. Jeremy Zuttah will push people.

“You look at the talent there on offense, it’s the most they’ve ever had. They have a lot of weapons to work with if they had a quarterback.

“But they don’t have a quarterback.”

Marvez suggested whoever the Bucs select in the first round in April’s NFL draft will tell fans if the Bucs are actually rebuilding or consider themselves a contender.

“If [the Bucs] take a quarterback, that’s an indication that are a year or two away. But how much patience do you have? The standards are extremely high in Tampa. But are the Bucs willing to give [general manager Mark] Dominik and [head coach Raheem The Dream] time?”

In short, Marvez doesn’t expect the Bucs to do much this season.

“There are too many question marks with Tampa Bay.”
