Freeman “Overslept”
September 12th, 2013
“Josh, we had to re-heat your oatmeal to 97 degrees.”
Greg Schiano confirmed moments ago at One Buc Palace that Josh Freeman “overslept” for the team photo last week and has been tarday for other team activities.
Schiano was adamant the team dealt with Freeman internally and has completely moved on — old news.
Schiano also gave a Freeman a vote of “trust.”
September 12th, 2013 at 2:14 pm
So?? He wasn’t using drugs?? lol
September 12th, 2013 at 2:14 pm
I’ll get it started…Out too late and hungover?
September 12th, 2013 at 2:16 pm
So the players called a team meeting because a player overslept? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
I dont think this interview really gave us many answers to anything. If Schiano really does trust Freeman, the play calling doesnt show it. Or they are just awful play callers.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
Glennon comes in in the 3rd qtr vs. Saints and makes it rain touchdowns!!!!!!!!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:19 pm
Overblown media created frenzy. Can we get back to football?
September 12th, 2013 at 2:19 pm
That’s why he needs the new contract, so he can afford to hire a service.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:19 pm
@lighteningbuc,
That’s what Schiano would like us to believe.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:20 pm
I feel better now. Freeman is back in the circle of trust.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:22 pm
DAMN! The ever dreaded “vote of confidence” from the “Capo tuti capo” . HA Ha HA your done Free Free, remember Greg’s a “goodfella” from Jersey.I should know, I was raised in Jersey and lived there for 10 years. Looks like you might have to get a team mate to start your car for you…….that is if you can find one that’s willing to do it. Fuhgetabit!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:22 pm
I believe the correct medical terms for overslept are “Hungover”, “Still lit up” “Passed Out” etc…
I don’t want it to be true but there’s so much smoke you gotta believe there’s fire. The Glennon pick makes even more sense now.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:22 pm
@lighteningbuc,
Obviously you didn’t watch the press conference. He also said this wasn’t the first time he’s been late. Is that still not a problem to you? You think it’s okay that the QB of an NFL team shows up late to meetings (especially more than once)? Should we go ahead and extend him now in your opinion?
September 12th, 2013 at 2:22 pm
This has all the ear marks of a person addicted to pain pills??? doesn’t it
September 12th, 2013 at 2:24 pm
Mike Florio and his TMZ, I mean PFT, look like total dung now. What a hack job to insinuate Schiano rigged the captain voting. I guess, if anything, it did get the truth out there.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:24 pm
yall stop with the addiction crap.
6 pack just does not give a $hit anymore. it’s on his face, in his play.
show him the door!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:24 pm
DAMN! the ever dreaded “vote of confidence” from the “Capo tuti capo” HAHAHA, your done Free Free. Remember Greg’s a “goodfella” from Jesey.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:25 pm
Freeman is dealing with some problems. I’ve never “overslept” for work in my life. And I’m not an NFL QB making millions. Think about the people in your workplace who constantly “oversleep” or are late all the time?
September 12th, 2013 at 2:27 pm
Hawaiian Buc,
I’m one of Freemans most vocal critics. My post was sarcasm. I’m referred to as a “hater” on here probably more than anyone due to my dislike for Freeman.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:28 pm
Josh is oversleeping because the brand of alarm clock Schiano mandated is not loud enough. Another example of Schiano setting Free up for failure.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:28 pm
Bum. Why don’t you apologists apply the same willful ignorance of behavior trends to your own work and life and let us know how that works out for you. Better yet, get Schiano to spin it for you.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:28 pm
lightningbuc
I’m right there with you!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:29 pm
Think of the people you work with who constantly “oversleep” or are always late. They got problems. Personal ones.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:29 pm
It’s amazing to me how many people brush this off as if it’s okay to occasionally be late or miss team functions. Even in my high school basketball days, I never once had a teammate miss a function without an excuse. Not once. This is not acceptable!!! There is absolutely no excused, especially oversleeping. I don’t care if your car breaks down, your roads are closed, your door gets cemented shut, or your girlfriend handcuffs you to the bed – you get your arse to the event!!! Making excuses is the same old new school thought process that creates so many problems in our society. Next thing you know some doucher is going to blame Schiano for not sending someone to his house to wake him up. Or they will blame the organization for not extending him, which makes it okay for him to oversleep. Give me a break people. Open your eyes!!!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:30 pm
My bad lightningbuc!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:30 pm
Wow..Boomer & Moon were right..we have been duped again by the local sports media. The media in this area needs to grow a pair of balls, report the news and stop the BS. You have Duemig that backs those who come on his show and bashes those that don’t. You have Cummings and Stroud that hide the news because they don’t want the Glazer’s to revoke their press pass.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:31 pm

September 12th, 2013 at 2:31 pm
Ah yes, the classic “vote of confidence.” Truthfully I have 100% NEVER got caught in the hype on hating on Freeman or question his leadership. He has his flaws as a QB but I was willing to accept them as there always seemed to be more glaring problems elsewhere. But honestly this press conference really has planted some seeds of doubt in my mind in Freemans maturity and his ability to lead this team.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:32 pm
I watched the stream of the news conference, Schiano said Freemen missed the teams photo because he over slept, He also said other players have also missed meetings and that it was dealt with in-house. I know this makes Freeman look like a train wreck, But I’m not sure anyone is in control anymore.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:32 pm
What an awful awful week for Freeman. Ouch… He needs a good game now more than ever. If we lose, it could very well be over for Freeman.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:32 pm
you guys won’t be satisfied with any answers, truth or otherwise.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:33 pm
Hey Joe,
Sorry for “hijacking” a thread. I hope this isn’t an “ill advised throw” and just a “bad throw” out here.

Maybethey should sit him for the start of this weeks game, send a message the old fasion way.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:36 pm
Everyone should listen to the interview Josh gave Ron and Ian a few days after missing his kids camp. After I heard it I had to hear a take from someone else so I had my girlfriend hear it and the first thing she said was “man what drug is he on???” Everyone should take a listen and draw your own conclusions.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:36 pm
Haha SteveK!! Gotta love that astute analysis from the leading local in air sports talent!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
I can’t wait to hear Freeman. Does he take responsibility?
Remember when Tebow lost at UF, prior to the 2nd title run he made, and he apologized and took total accountability for his team not performing, and “we will be better”. He promised the fans that he would have this team ready to go. Say what you want about Tebow, but he and Freeman are opposites. Tebow can’t throw, and Free can’t lead, inspire and will his team to victory.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:38 pm
I think some hearts may of been broken as well.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:39 pm
Trust me lightningbuc, you’re not the only one who dislikes Freetard. I’m also right here with you. There’s more of us than there are supporters of him, especially if all these things about him are true. My opinion of him hasn’t gotten any worse because of all of these rumors, I’ve never liked him as a quarterback. And I don’t give a damn about his record breaking team stats, the only stats I care about are playoff appearances and playoff wins. Which he has NONE!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:42 pm
Dallas Buc,
Glad you were listening too. He (Sour Pup) was hounding and sniffing for a reason to fly of the handle, and PMS on the caller, while ending the call.
Sour Pup spins it like a boss.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:42 pm
Anyone pissed we drafted a QB in the 3rd round now?
September 12th, 2013 at 2:43 pm
Pain pill’s? C’mon Vick takes more of a beating in one game. Than Freeman does in a season. He play’s safe and there’s nothing wrong with that. But at this point he should just go for it. Don’t even worry about sliding try and get a couple extra yard’s. Freeman will be traded or be the backup at QB and TE. This time next week. Wait hold the phone. My coin flip came up head’s. That mean’s Freeman will wake up this week. After all Freeman is way to inconsistant to keep playing this bad.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:45 pm
Glennon will not play this season get over it MGM!!! Hahaha
September 12th, 2013 at 2:45 pm

Nick2,
I did the same thing and my wife sai the same thing. Didn’t sound like an alcohol buzz. My guess is blow.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:50 pm
For all of you who want to condemn Freeman for being late a few times, don’t you think that that has happened to other QBs around the league? One that comes to mind, was Ben Rothlisberger. I’m sure it has happened among the elite QB’s. It’s just that we never hear about because no one is trying to go out of their way in a smear campaign. Kerry Collins is another that was publicly admonished. Why do all of you hold Freeman to a higher standard? Most of you don’t like him anyway, so why would you expect him to conform to your delusional expectations. It wouldn’t matter if he slept at OBP 24/7, you people would find something else horrible to say.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:57 pm
RBellBuc, I don’t give a shit about any other quarterback that this has happened to. I’m a Buc fan and only care about this team and what’s going on here. I get sooooooo fucking tired of Freeman supporters always wanting to compare him to other quarterbacks and say how Eli Manning wasn’t that good at first or how Ben Rapistberger struggled when he was starting out. I DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT ANY OTHER TEAM………..I’M A BUC FAN!!!!!!!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 2:58 pm
How many rings does Freeman have vs. Big Ben? How many playoff wins? Appearances?
The reality is if you produce, you get leeway.
If you want to compare him to Kerry Collins, you can. But, that’s NOT a compliment to Freeman.
And, yes, I hold my QBs to a higher standard. How many meetings do you think Russell Wilson is late for? Would Brady ever flake out and miss his own youth camp. Think either of the Mannings ever missed a team photo?
The excuse well has gone dry.
September 12th, 2013 at 2:59 pm
@Rbellbucs,
Yeah it happens to other QB’s around the league. Then they are usually out of the league. It does not happen to elite QB’s, or even good ones. You really think Mike Tomlin would put up with Big Ben showing up late? Are you crazy? You obviously don’t know squat if you believe that. Even if Ben was late once (which I have never heard), he damn sure wouldn’t be late multiple times. Freeman is held to a different standard than other players because he is the QB!!!! He is the leader of the team, regardless if he is the captain or not. Oh my goodness, some people care more about Freeman than the team.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:02 pm
“It wouldn’t matter if he slept at OBP 24/7, you people would find something else horrible to say.”
——-
Problem is, he isn’t sleeping at OBP 24/7. He’s not even there the times when he is supposed to be!! If he was working his butt off, I’m going to go out on a limb and say the product on the field would probably be better, don’t you think?
September 12th, 2013 at 3:03 pm
WestCoastBucFan says #5 is elite and this is what elite qbs do.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:05 pm
@Hawaiian
Hands down there a few people on here who are Freeman fans first, Buc fans a distant second.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:06 pm
I think most of the Freemanites have gone into hiding it appears.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:06 pm
RBell you might need to be drug tested. It sounds like your drinking out of Freemans water bottle. Don’t drink that Koolaid!!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:08 pm
how much longer until Glennon plays??? otherwise all the other stuff is just wasting time
official member of MGM ( Mike Glennon Mob )
because its not what Glennon can do, but its about what JFro-6pak cannot do.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:10 pm
SOur Pup is certain the Player’ only meeting was in question of the coach.
Sour Pup-“Wow, wow, you know all this micromanaging and all this other crap is creating a house of cards that is falling into the center. If they want the coach out, they are doing a real good job of it. And you know what, we should open up the door and let him go. And again, the micromanaging, you are spying on your players if you there is a player’s only meeting.”
What a blow hard! Come on, why blame Schiano. Lets hear Josh’s side, from Josh. Was he sleeping in? Does he have problem committing himself to football?
Why is Sour Pup turning on Schiano, but blindly showing faith to Free? Must be on Free’s payroll and Sour Pup needs to publicity for his show?
September 12th, 2013 at 3:10 pm
How do you know that elite QBs have never been late? Do all of you morons have crystal balls?
September 12th, 2013 at 3:12 pm
So many of you are just hate mongers, period!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:13 pm
1 hour late for the presser…. What is going on in there?
September 12th, 2013 at 3:13 pm
Where is westcoast bucs fan to defend freeman? As ive said many times on this site, freeman doesnt have the mentality to be an nfl qb. Big drinker who thinks he can get by strictly on physical ability. Not only is he late for meetings but he doesn’t back it up on the field. Lets whipe our hands of this clown
September 12th, 2013 at 3:15 pm
Deumig is blaming it on Schiano of course. His spin is amazing.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:18 pm
@RbellBucs,
How do you know that they have been late? Do you have a crystal ball?
I have 100% clear evidence that Freeman has been late. You are stating something as fact with absolutely no proof whatsoever. You can’t even find one example that has been documented of a good QB being late. So who again is the moron?
September 12th, 2013 at 3:20 pm
“So many of you are just hate mongers, period!”
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:21 pm
Take it easy on Rbell. It can’t be easy to learn his man crush isn’t the man he thought he was.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:21 pm
This just in Josh Freeman just missed his news conference to explain why he missed the team photo. Somebody go wake him up!!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:24 pm
Schiano is transparent. He is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and do the dirty work. He likes to keep it in house, but at this point there is a problem.
Perhaps our new Captains: V-Jax, Goldson, Joseph and GMC, are working this out and confronting Freeman with the team?
I just don’t see why Schiano is “wrong” or the “reason” of failure. IMO, Schiano has a tough job to do, to rid this team of malcontent.
It is all coming to a head. All this time, I thought I took the Jets loss more personal than some of the players and the team, but I am completely floored by this all coming out now.
Wow, Buc football is in a bad place right now, but we are doing everything to get in the right direction.
Schiano’s team needs discipline. I believe we are going to hear some SH!T soon.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:25 pm
@Nick
If true, Bwhhahahhhwwhha.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:25 pm
HAHAHAHA!!! That’s beautiful! You’re right, he does sound like that soft tree hugger Perez Hilton or what ever his soft ass name is. ” LEAVE JOSH ALONE YOU BASTARDS!” HAHAHAHA!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:26 pm
Four days into the regular season and it’s starting to feel like we’re in disarray.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:27 pm
@Hawaiian
Who cares? Prove to me that other QB’s, including the elite class has never been late to any team functions? You can’t.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:28 pm
terraj35,
AMEN!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:28 pm
Where is Raheem when we need him to right this ship???
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:28 pm
I semi-washed my hands of Josh a few years ago when he was blessed with a 6-5, 260 lb. body, & is now the QB of a team that desperately needed a leader @ QB…& he slid @ about the 3 yard line on a key play in a key game going into the endzone. Sorry Joshie, men are not going to follow a slide when it’s time to score…
September 12th, 2013 at 3:29 pm
BD is claiming late presser is Schian’s fault…amazing
September 12th, 2013 at 3:29 pm
@Rbell
Can you google one article about a franchise QB being late or missing a team photo shoot, besides Freeman?
Wait, what? I can’t hear you?
September 12th, 2013 at 3:33 pm
Couch you think you are so cute. This isn’t about Freeman the QB, mental midget, this is about Freeman the person.
I really think after reading all your crap for the last couple of weeks that you probably ate your own young.
It’s one thing to not like the QB’s play but it’s another when you say mean and nasty stuff about the person. Freeman is far from the monster you make him out to be. That makes you nothing more than a hate monger.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:34 pm
Oil Derrick
Go back and read my comment you imbecile
September 12th, 2013 at 3:37 pm
yes @rbell, I am a freeman hater… i hate the fact he is 90-168 with 10 picks 3 tds and 3 fumbles in the last 4 games (and has a tough time getting a play off after a time out).
Maybe ben rothlisberger was late, but he won a super bowl.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:39 pm
@RBell
Ooooh mean words from a biter!!!!
xoxoxox!!!
September 12th, 2013 at 3:48 pm
I don’t care if you hate him as our QB. Say mean things about how he plays. I don’t care, but some of you neanderthals make it personal about Josh the person. That’s wrong! He doesn’t deserve to be treated like Rae Carruth or Aaron Hernandez. It is morally disrespectful, and makes you all look nationally bad.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:52 pm
@RBellBucs,
So wait a minute, let me get this straight. So I have to prove other players have been late, when you can’t prove that they have been late? Really? You are getting so desperate is humorous. He’s been late on numerous occasions, he only had one winning season, he has a very low career completion percentage, a poor TD-INT ratio, and just overall poor statistics throughout his career. Yet, you think all that is okay, because you think 2 time Super Bowl winning QB Ben Roethlisburger has also been late to meetings (which of course you have absolutely no proof of)? You don’t understand why fans who pay good money to attend games and/or a huge portion of their valuable time and money supporting this team would be upset at him? You don’t think they are justified? You want us to all wait outside OBP with an “I LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU JOSH” poster? Why don’t we let him bang our wives and girlfriends too, just so he gets everything he needs. It’s all our fault for not supporting him enough right?
September 12th, 2013 at 3:54 pm
LMAO I havent said one mean thing about him, except that he sucks as a QB. If that makes me a hater so be it. Keep crying for us Rbell… Makes my day go by so much faster when you cry.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:57 pm
This has EVERYTHING to do with how he plays RBell. If he was winning games, playing well, or even showing an extreme level of dedication to the team, he would get a ton of support. But he’s not doing any of those things. This is why he gets paid all that money! His job is to lead – he’s not doing it. His job is to be dedicated to his craft – he’s not doing it His job is to throw the football well – he’s not doing it. I don’t condone people calling him gay or saying he is doing drugs – that’s totally wrong. He may be an absolutely great guy (he’s been very nice the times I’ve met him. Quiet, but nice), but that doesn’t mean he’s dedicated or a good QB. That doesn’t mean he’s not allowed to be criticized. Funny thing is, you are the very one blaming coaching and the OL, yet get furious when anyone else criticizes Josh. Why does he get an exception? You want to group him with the other guys when it comes to wins and losses, yet when it comes to blame, he is excluded. Makes no sense.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:58 pm
@rbellbuc… no one is treating him like caruth or hernandez. He just doesn’t deserve a contract extension for a ton of money and if he can’t show up for work on time, he doesn’t deserve to start.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:59 pm
Josh the “person” made a commitment to 53 other “people”, as well as team personnel.
Do you think those guys put there sweating their nuts off, getting injured, and striving to be the best they can possibly be all SUMMER in the Florida death heat, deserve the designated leader of the team putting his personal life and pleasure over their commitment?
Because whether you realize it or not, the best of the best commit to it day and night. They don’t just punch a timeclock and leave their work at OBP. They breathe it 24/7.
If you would kindly stop swinging from #5’s nutsack for just a moment, and look at it from his teammates perspective, you’ll see just how arrogant, immature and smallminded that you, Rbell sound.
He’s a grown ass man. If he needs help, he can ask for it. The last thing he needs is some prepubescent internet protector. Grow up.
September 12th, 2013 at 3:59 pm
None of this would matter if Josh could complete a 10 yard out and stop staring down receivers and drawing the safeties into the play. 3 different OC’s and QB coaches have not been able to fix these pre-Schiano issues.
September 12th, 2013 at 4:04 pm
Of course try to show ignorant people they are being ignorant is probably just as ignorant in itself.
September 12th, 2013 at 4:14 pm
Give Rbellbuc a break. He’s stuck living in that desert cesspool Las Vegas.
September 12th, 2013 at 4:15 pm
This RBellBuc guy just keeps coming back for more. It’s gotten so bad that he is completely ignoring the issue altogether now. He’s just calling us ignorant, yet can’t even say why we are ignorant.
The definition of ignorant is lacking knowledge or awareness. You are obviously not aware that you are making yourself look plain silly. You are becoming a laughing stock, yet you insist on fanning the flame. I beg of you to keep doing it, because it is actually taking some of my anger and frustration away from the mess that is transpiring at OBP.
September 12th, 2013 at 4:16 pm
“None of this would matter if Josh could complete a 10 yard out and stop staring down receivers and drawing the safeties into the play. 3 different OC’s and QB coaches have not been able to fix these pre-Schiano issues.”

Geez, this was a lot more fun when I was in the minority. I have never been comfortable following a crowd.
Just remember, a fish stinks from the head down.
September 12th, 2013 at 5:05 pm
Lol at the Freemam haters …lolololol
Gee that’s the thanks Free gets for giving us the lead with 40 seconds left …
Hey if the Bucs don’t want him there will be 15 teams wanting him after the season…..Cleveland will be first in line ..
September 12th, 2013 at 5:13 pm
And they can have his 6 wins a year.
September 12th, 2013 at 5:53 pm
Are Rbell and Raphael the same? Im just smdh at the similarities :/
September 12th, 2013 at 6:00 pm
@Raphael,
Are you seriously so stupid that you don’t understand why people would be disappointed with Freeman? So you are ok with the QB of the football team showing up and/or missing team functions? You are ok with extending a QB with below average career stats, a terrible W-L record, and an obvious lack of dedication to the team? If you were the Glazers, would you extend him? Perhaps he should just get a different set of rules than everyone else, simply because he almost beat the mighty NY Jets and their rookie QB, who by the way had no weapons. You’re a fool my friend.
September 12th, 2013 at 6:11 pm
Raphael,
C’mon man!
Will Freeman give the Bucs a chance to win this weekend, or will he “show up late”, do the minimum, and fail to get this team to 21 points?
Sad, Geno Smith should be getting your fanship. He is younger, and a better QB in 2013.
We will see how the Patriots dismantle the Jets tonight, and get a true read of where our 1/2 azz committed QB has us. The bottom of the barrel.
September 12th, 2013 at 6:13 pm
Name for us the 16 teams who will want Freeman for anything other than a backup.
September 12th, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Name for us 6 teams that will want Freeman for anything other than a backup. No CFL or Arena League teams please.
September 12th, 2013 at 8:48 pm
The most hilarious thing about Raphael’s proclamation is there are almost certainly 5 QBs that will be drafted in the first two rounds next year: Bridgewater, Boyd, Hundley, Mariota and Carr (and there’s Mr. Manziel of course). Cleveland and Jacksonville will almost certainly be drafting QBs and not signing them. Arizona is likely to draft one too. That pretty much leaves Minnesota and maybe Tennessee and Oakland. Oakland is obviously an interesting possibility with Greg Olson there.
September 12th, 2013 at 9:47 pm
He overslept against the jets too

“It’s amazing to me how many people brush this off as if it’s okay to occasionally be late or miss team functions.”
Someone asked Davin Joseph what he thought of players oversleeping. He said each player is responsible and should make it to meetings on time.
Then he was ask, “Have you overselpt and been late?”
Davin laughed and said, “A bunch of times.”
So those making a big deal? It really isn’t unless it happens several times per week.
As for me, I don’t really have daily schedules. I get up, do a couple chores around the house and then I start writing. Full time. Sometimes I take days off, though I try to write at least a little something each day.
My current project is currently about 25,000 words & projected to be 100,000+ by the time it is done.
But I no longer care if I run late to anywhere. They’ll be there when I get there.

@Buccaneer Bonzai,
Oh, okay then I guess it’s ok. In fact, why don’t we just stop using time altogether now. Schiano should just tell the players to show up once they wake up and get all their stuff done. Just stroll into work whenever they want. If Simeon Rice can get sent home from the pro bowl for being late, then Josh Freeman can be put on blast for this.
As for Davin Joseph, I don’t buy it for a second. I think he’s deflecting, but if he is always late, then he should be punished too and I will be critical of him as well. Regardless, is Davin Joseph the QB? The QB is the most important player on the team, period. He is held to a different standard than the other players. They make more money. They take more blame, and receive more credit. They get the women. They are different. Deny it all you want, because apparently you live in a dream world anyway.

I’m disappointed in Freeman, Also
But he won the damn game Sunday. Only idiotic calls by our coach gave it away- not freeman. Any proffesional coach in the league wins that game- with a lead and 34 seconds!! A squib kick- a heavy blitz- game over
Freeman has two and only two pass options. Our WRs. He has no TE, no slot receiver, and Martin can’t catch. Lorig is an option- but he’s out
That is bad moves by GM and by the coach.
Those should be fired. If Freeman is having abuse issues- he needs to be fired.
If not- ill take a QB that gives me the lead with 34 seconds on the clock, all day long!!! I don’t care if he’s, sleepy, a captain, or not.
Winning drives in the 4th quarter are what good QBs do
