No Starting Quarterback Change… Yet
September 27th, 2009
A depressed Raheem the Dream spoke on the Bucs radio network and he didn’t seem inclined to replace Byron Leftwich with Josh Johnson.
Although fans will go crazy this week wanting Josh Johnson to play, Raheem the Dream doesn’t seem to agree, but didn’t totally rule it out.
“He came out and executed very well,” Raheem the Dream said of Johnson. “We know J.J. can move around the pocket and move his feet and find a receiver and he was able to capitalize on that. But we weren’t looking for field goals.
“There’s no way [the loss] is on one man [Leftwich]. You can’t blame the quarterback but that is what will happen. We didn’t lose thanks to one man. We might make some changes but I won’t start with that guy.”
As for his team, he all but blasted his players.
“We were outmanned. No excuses,” Raheem the Dream said. “Those guys were a better football team than us across the board. We got absolutely nothing going. They are a better football team. They blocked open holes and got after it. They had a big back carry for extra yards and a smaller back make us miss tackles. They ran it down our throats for 38 minutes.
“We were just outmanned right off the bat. People took their turns losing individual battles. “They tried to make us into a passing football team which we are not. They are a more physical team.”

Jeff Carlson said it earlier on this website, a few months ago, during minicamps:
“If they cannot run the football, it doesn’t matter who they play at quarterback…”
Until they run the football, you can start all three at once and it won’t matter.

Well DUHHHHH Raheem. Tell us something we don’t know.

But at least JJ can run the football and if he gets hurt doing it, you didn’t do it to your supposed franchise QB of the future. If everyone is covered JJ can just bolt. Better than Lefty taking a sack or making an ill advised throw and better than Freeman tossing pick after pick under pressure. Let JJ have a shot. We have nothing to lose. We can only gain from this.

Tell that to Michael Clayton – WTF is Raheem freakin blind?
I notice that Raheem blamed everyone but himself. they outplayed us, they were more physical than us.” yeah and their HC is smarter than you dumbass.
