So Many Carolina Doubters?
January 12th, 2014
Joe rarely weighs in on non-Bucs things, but this is an exception.
Joe can’t believe the Bucs’ hated rival, the stinkin’, Clifton-Smith-abusing Panthers, aren’t getting much love to beat the 49ers this afternoon in Charlotte.
Why are so many media types and fans seduced by the familiarity of the 49ers roster? It’s as if legions of people are shrugging off the Panthers winning 11 of their last 12, including in San Francisco, and having home-field advantage with the NFL’s No. 2 defense.
The Panthers’ November shutdown of the 49ers was followed up by a home clubbing of the mighty Patriots on Monday Night Football. Carolina couldn’t keep LeGarrette Blount from five yards a carry, but Cam Newton led them that night.
Every time Joe’s tuned in national and local sports radio in the past few days, he’s heard pundits just assuming the 49ers will “take care of business.”
Vegas has even shunned the Panthers and their 7-1 home record.
The Panthers are no fluke, and Joe would be surprised if the Panthers’ rested and nasty defense doesn’t dominate the game and bring the Panthers a win before what will be a psychotic home crowd.
Joe really loved free-agent-to-be defensive end Greg Hardy reaction to Carolina’s underdog status.
“If you don’t stop me, I’m going to break your quarterback’s face,” Hardy said. “If he doesn’t throw it to your receivers, he’s not going to win. It depends upon who’s in the position and who wants to make the plays. It doesn’t matter what team is hot, what team is up or down, what team’s feeling sorry for themselves, what team’s the favorite. … I ain’t been a favorite in 24 years. I’m doing great.
“That’s just people talking. Naysayers, people jabbing, even old analysts and old players talking about a game that they’re too slow to play. Congrats to them. That’s what they get paid for.”
January 12th, 2014 at 12:35 pm
I’m taking the Panthers to go to the SB, they’ll probably lose to either the Broncos or Pats, but they’ll be there.
January 12th, 2014 at 12:37 pm
Ha ha Hardy would certainly look better in pewter abusing QBs. Personally expect Carolina to punish Cap and it to look similar to there first meeting.
January 12th, 2014 at 12:48 pm
Count me in as a doubter. Game of the weekend!
January 12th, 2014 at 12:48 pm
I think Panthers will beat the 9ers to but will lose to Seattle next week. The Hawks look dam near dominant last night. I dont see any team beating them.
January 12th, 2014 at 12:55 pm
I think the panthers will lose at the 12th Man next week.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:01 pm
Cam may struggle in playoff game number 1.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:06 pm
All depends on which colin kap shows up today. Cam Newton needs to get flattened. Really cant stand the guy.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:06 pm
I for some reason always hate the media darlings. And the 9ers are the medias flavor of the month. So even they’re the Stikin Panthers,I’m rooting for them
January 12th, 2014 at 1:07 pm
Riddle me this…how did Ron Rivera take this team that had the same record as the Bucs last year, huge salary cap issues, Mike Shula, and they have a number 2 seed in the NFC? Rivera was going to be fired last year, and now he’s “River Boat Ron” “Coach of the Year” candidate. IMHO, its strong QB play, run the ball well, and a nasty D. The Bucs desperately need a stud QB
January 12th, 2014 at 1:13 pm
Seany Mac:
I thik you nailed it….strong QB play ( pains me to admit that @ Cam ) and better drafting than the Bucs of late IMO.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:18 pm
What kind of freakin’ Bucs fan would want the Panthers to go to the Superbowl???
I ain’t shy. I thoroughly enjoyed it when Drew Brees looked like Josh Freeman yesterday. I cheered when the “Ain’ts” lost.
And I hope the Panthers lose as well.
You realize how annoying Panthers fans would be if they won the Superbowl??? Do you people really want to put up with that? Do you think their fans would root for us?
Not a single Bucs fan should be hoping that team wins today. If so, you ain’t a Bucs fan. You are a football fan. Fair weather. Supporting a division rival. (rolls eyes)
Besides. The Broncos will win the Superbowl. There is no doubt about it. And they’ll do it with the best offense in the nfl.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:21 pm
Joe the answer is… The kittys have no chance.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:21 pm
Who said anything about wanting the Panthers to go to the super bowl? I must of missed that.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:30 pm
who gives a s**t about the pink panthers!!! Go 9ers,
Fire the cannons! Bucs4life
January 12th, 2014 at 1:33 pm
#3 QB in the division
January 12th, 2014 at 1:33 pm
On a side note, just read we hired Gill Byrd, jairus Byrd’s father, as DBs coach.
Joe wrote about that days ago. Anyone who wants to catch up can check the archives.–Joe
January 12th, 2014 at 1:34 pm
The Panthers are averaging 12.8 points per game vs teams with a winning record this year. Only once did they score more than 20 points in those games(24 vs NE).
For all the hype of Cam Newton has, its not like he’s setting the league on fire.
Carolina had a great season but it ends today.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:40 pm
One of the rare times I’ll pull for the stinking kitties, bleh! They are the home team since Im from SC……
January 12th, 2014 at 1:40 pm
I agree the 9ers have been hyped to be all but a given to get by Carolina. I am not so sure. Can’t pick the winner, it’s too tough, will be pulling for SF. If Carolina gets this win, watch out Seattle and AFC champ.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:46 pm
I’m with Joe. Carolina totally mauled us. Even worse than San Fran.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:47 pm
I’m picking Carolina.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:50 pm
Seahags vs Broncos in the SB. Broncos win.
January 12th, 2014 at 1:55 pm
I fully expect the Panthers to dominate the 49ers today. But I am rooting for the 49ers anyway. It is probably just the Buc fan in me, always pulling for the team that is probably going to lose.
January 12th, 2014 at 2:00 pm
49ers win! Crabtree, Aldon Smith make the difference. SF didn’t have last time. Plus SF has the playoff experience.
January 12th, 2014 at 2:05 pm
Dont know how, but the feeling just came over me….49er’s will win. Oh well, I’ll still pull for the kitties 😉
January 12th, 2014 at 2:13 pm
@BuccaneerBonzai
“What kind of freakin’ Bucs fan would want the Panthers to go to the Superbowl???”
LOL Exactly! typed the words right out of my mouth.
January 12th, 2014 at 2:17 pm
What kind? NFC south pride! Color me different ……
January 12th, 2014 at 2:27 pm
Lol The look on Newtons face when he got his first playoff INT was priceless.
January 12th, 2014 at 2:33 pm
Im with you Couch
Although it seems the Panties aren’t getting love from the refs lol
January 12th, 2014 at 2:35 pm
lol Max…like when the Bucs had to go up to Philly for the NFC champ game. All week long I thought the Bucs were going to lose that game. Then on Friday I woke up I looked at my wife and the first words out of my mouth were not good morning. I said the Bucs are going to win this weekend and they are going to the SB. I don’t know why. It wasn’t homerism either. Something just hit me on that morning. I was dead sure of it. I was still nervous as hell though when the game started.
January 12th, 2014 at 2:36 pm
Passport says place of birth…Palo Alto 1948…liking 49ers…..
Coming of age..summer of love in SD…..says “Bolts”
My Bucs are nowhere to be found…so this is how I’m riding today
January 12th, 2014 at 2:40 pm
Many football fans including actual Buccaneer players if you look on twitter are rooting for the NFC South hahaha.
Not that rare BB 😉 lol
January 12th, 2014 at 2:57 pm
Hate Panthers!! Go anyone else! Seahawks deserve it, after getting screwed in their first attempt. Besides they’re the Bucs expansion brothers!
January 12th, 2014 at 3:00 pm
I think the Panties win but lose to Seattle
I can’t stand Cam lol
January 12th, 2014 at 3:01 pm
I can’t stand Kap either though
January 12th, 2014 at 3:41 pm
Gonna be a great second half
January 12th, 2014 at 3:41 pm
The ravens were absolute idiots for getting rid of Flacco’s best receiver
January 12th, 2014 at 3:43 pm
@PRBucFan
Yeah, not wise. We should go after Jacoby Jones.
January 12th, 2014 at 3:49 pm
He’s an amazing returner
Him or Hester 🙂
January 12th, 2014 at 4:00 pm
All Boldin does is make plays wherever he goes. A long time ago I said he wasnt worth trading for. I was wrong.
January 12th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
And he just has gotten better and better, pretty crazy.
January 12th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
Good call Joe. Too bad you picked the wrong D and playmaker.
Joe has no problem offering an opinion or being wrong. –Joe
January 12th, 2014 at 4:11 pm
Smh . All the players we could’ve drafted over the years
January 12th, 2014 at 4:20 pm
Never forget arguing with Buc fans on TBO, about how we to draft LB Bowman. Guys were like we don’t need anymore guys with character issues. I was wtf dude this football, not croshay. lol
January 12th, 2014 at 4:21 pm
*ABOUT HOW WE NEEDED TO
January 12th, 2014 at 4:29 pm
Panthers mad.
They so mad.
Steve Smith mad, Cam mad, Ron Rivera mad.
The fans they mad too.
January 12th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
As I pretty said earlier, you can expect to win in today’s nfl by scoring in the teens.
January 12th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
@mpmalloy
LOL LUV IT
JUST SHOWS YOU GOTTA HAVE A MEAN OFFENSIVE LINE & DEFENSIVE LINE 2 WIN!!!
January 12th, 2014 at 4:34 pm
EVEN THOUGH CAROLINA HAS A GREAT DEFENSIVE LINE, CAM IS GETTING SMASHED
January 12th, 2014 at 4:37 pm
WELL JOE! Looks like Carolina better make a strong push.
Is getting late in the game and time is not a friend. It’s all about experience and that’s what the 49ers have. It’s really funny with all the high-powered quarterback talk in the NFL but look who’s still standing all the defense of running teams
January 12th, 2014 at 4:40 pm
@DMAD1
COMES DOWN 2 CONTROLLING THE “LINE(S)” OF SCRIMMAGE
January 12th, 2014 at 4:44 pm

January 12th, 2014 at 4:48 pm
Hey Joe…. you’re playmaker QB looks great today.
Cam is all smoke and mirrors. Hate to break it to you.
January 12th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
Mike Shula offense in the playoffs. 10 points.
Is anyone surprised????
January 12th, 2014 at 4:51 pm
Hey Joe….
Panthers are a fluke.
January 12th, 2014 at 4:52 pm
Seattle is going to lay the would on ole Kappy Kap lol.
January 12th, 2014 at 4:55 pm
@PRBucFan
Gotta give it up 2 the Niner, 3yrs in a row NFL CHAMPIONSHIP.. THEY HAVE THE BLUE PRINT
January 12th, 2014 at 4:57 pm
@snook THERE IT IS!
January 12th, 2014 at 4:58 pm
NFC*
But Seattle has their number in Seattle.
Can’t stand Kap, but I like the Canes that make up their roster 😀
January 12th, 2014 at 4:59 pm
THE QB’S MAY CHANGE-BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECTS REMAIN THE SAME- DOMINATED BOTH LINE(S) OF SCRIMMAGE BABY!!!
C’MON BUCS! LETS GO!!
January 12th, 2014 at 5:00 pm
U IN YOUR CANES..SMH 🙂
January 12th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
And that’s why you need some offense to win. Not just a great d
January 12th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
need a qb…the defense didn’t save the day here. 2nd ranked defense did what?
January 12th, 2014 at 5:01 pm
49ers have the perfect blend of offense and defense
January 12th, 2014 at 5:03 pm
U DONT SEE A CORNER BACK GETTING PAID A FREAKING MILLION BUC’S A GAME -I TELL U THAT MUCH…LOL
January 12th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
No, Cam just wasn’t good enough.
Lurk is correct
January 12th, 2014 at 5:05 pm
yah, but the studly d-line of Carolina did what? everyone said the panther had a great d-line, number 2 defense, and the are sitting and watching now.
January 12th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
@lurker
NEED A REVAMPED NASTY-GRITTY OLINE/W BLOCKING (TE)- AND BETTER DLINE ROTATION
January 12th, 2014 at 5:06 pm
LUV, excited with those caps? lol smh 😉
January 12th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
Yep..lol
January 12th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
I hate to say it but the 49ers going to go back to the Super Bowl this year and get it done. There too darn good on all three phases of the game including the coach!
January 12th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
need a scrambling qb! one who can make plays!
January 12th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
the game has changed. i loved the black and blue defense of the bucs back when, but it is not enough!
January 12th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
@lurker
Because Cam’s Oline was terrible point blank. Cam has 49er’s online he wins hands down
January 12th, 2014 at 5:10 pm
@lurker
Tell that 2 Brady & Manning
January 12th, 2014 at 5:13 pm
aint buyin what ur sellin…why get keep then? why not keep alex smith?
u know better than their coach…lol
January 12th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
*why get keep, then?
January 12th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
5 sacks( Really 6) ..tones of pressure…which creates turnovers.
January 12th, 2014 at 5:14 pm
Sounds like Seattle is a given to win NFC Championship. Not so fast. This will be a close game.
January 12th, 2014 at 5:15 pm
why does it change kaepernick to keep here?
January 12th, 2014 at 5:16 pm
@lurker
All you have to do is look at who wins Super Bowls. FACT
January 12th, 2014 at 5:16 pm
Seattle’s going to take the Lombardi home this year
January 12th, 2014 at 5:18 pm
Manning(s), Flacco, Brady, Rogers, Brees, Big Ben etc etc etc
January 12th, 2014 at 5:19 pm
@PRBucFan
Thats why they play on Sundays..
January 12th, 2014 at 5:20 pm
another person who thinks just because he says “fact” makes it a fact. lmao
January 12th, 2014 at 5:22 pm
Yup and the Seahawks are going to play their way to a Superbowl victory lol.
Nothing would make me happier than to watch kappy cocky self leave Seattle crying.
He’s going to get popped repeatedly, at least I hope he is lol
I’ve seen all this with my crystal ball, count on it 😉
January 12th, 2014 at 5:26 pm
@lurker
Nah bruh, until things change history will always be on my side. Has there EVER been a QB that’s rushed for 400 yards any WON A CHAMPIONSHIP in the same year??? Nope
January 12th, 2014 at 5:27 pm
@PRBucFan
Lol
January 12th, 2014 at 5:28 pm
Joe panthers looked awesome man. A buc fan rooting for the panthers to win? What the hell..sad sad day.
January 12th, 2014 at 5:29 pm
NFC SOUTH PRIDE!!!!!!! lol
January 12th, 2014 at 5:33 pm
@Luker
1967-to-2013
So 46yrs and not one QB thats rushed for 400 yards and won a Super Bowl in the same year. Like I said FACT
January 12th, 2014 at 5:34 pm
@PRBucFan
Here u go..lol
January 12th, 2014 at 5:41 pm
….and I just woke up…passed out throughout the whole thing LOL. I just fussed at my girlfriend, “why didnt you wake me up?”
Oh well, I called it, the 49’ers would win and they did….now to watch Denver win 😉
January 12th, 2014 at 5:49 pm
I get a very happy feeling watching Cam and the Panthers get humiliated. It just makes me feel good. And I still think SF beats Seattle next week. They aren’t the least bit intimidated, and they are rolling on both sides of the ball.
January 12th, 2014 at 5:50 pm
wtf luv…you said offensive line was a fact…i never said a rushing qb for 400 yards…
nice way to make things up, man.
January 12th, 2014 at 5:52 pm
marshawn lynch was beasting yeaterday. watch out niners.

Blount lit it up again yesterday. This is what a not a Schiano man does. Pisses me off.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:06 pm
scrambling, rushing…ok
i want a qb who can escape. i don’t want them to rush first. where did i say i want a qb to rush for 400 yards? why did you pick 400 yards anyways?
you said offensive line wins the games! then you said:

Miners wore out Carolina. Kap was better than Cam. Harbaugh outcoached Rivera. Niner D more impressive than Panthers. Gore and Boldin were so physical. A second half beat down in Charlotte.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:12 pm
@lurker
Sure, whatever say. The conversation was changed the moment you started speaking about “need a scrambling qb” & “the game has changed”. So I ran with it.
Flow of conversation I guess.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:14 pm
Simmer down now y’all lol 😉
January 12th, 2014 at 6:14 pm
Still don’t see where I fabricated or made something up. But hey, when can agree to disagree.

Lol, yeah
January 12th, 2014 at 6:15 pm
@TBBF, I was up all night drinking beer and researching guns, was attempting to stay awake through the kitty game but just couldnt make it, lol.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:18 pm
i am posting in 2 threads, and being online, it is easier to misunderstand the convos going on. i though u meant offensive line…oops.
so you do not want a qb who can move, scramble, and create?
also, yes, the history of the nfl has been pocket passer…but is that not changing? of course it will take time for them to get to the superbowl. the stats are skewed now.
it will be interesting to see a manning/brady pocket passer vs kaepernick/Wilson mobile qb in the superbowl. but the defenses, offensive line 😉 , rusching game, special teams will matter too.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:21 pm
*we can agree to disagree.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:21 pm
half my posts are not freakin getting posted…rrrrrrr
what the heck.
i thought u were talking about the offensive lines, before, when you said it was a fact.
everything else that disappeared, i do not want to retype.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:22 pm
funny how my short posts go through today, but not the longer ones.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:23 pm
@lurker
You know what, I think that’s the problem. Because I was experiencing the same problem early in that conversation. All my video post I guess..lol
January 12th, 2014 at 6:24 pm
and i never said i wanted a qb to rush for 400 yards.
also, yes, the history of the nfl has been “pocket passers” so of course, statistically it will skew towards that. are not mobile qb’s becoming the norm, and if more teams go that way, then your superbowl history will change too.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:28 pm
it will be interesting to see a manning/brady vs wilson/kaepernick superbowl.
but of course the whole team matters and defense, rushing, special teams, and even offensive line 😉 will matter too.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:33 pm
we are not alone

January 12th, 2014 at 6:45 pm
lol funny stuff
January 12th, 2014 at 6:52 pm
I’ve gone back 15 Superbowl winning teams and have yet to find a “scrambling/running QB….so, perhaps I’m missing something. Maybe this year will be the first with Wilson/Kaepernick….but there hasn’t been any in a long, long time.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:56 pm
That would make sense though
The game has transitioned away from the pure pocket passers.
Russel Wilson will change that this year 😀 lol
Remember, I’ve seen it with my crystal ball
January 12th, 2014 at 6:56 pm
Went back to 1970…..the only one I found was Steve Young (ex Buc) in 1994…..otherwise, all were essentially pocket passers.
January 12th, 2014 at 6:58 pm
PR….maybe you are right…..maybe not. Don’t bet your Columbia mansion on it….
January 12th, 2014 at 7:15 pm
either way…glennon is not the answer!
unless the question is “who is not the answer?”
😉
January 12th, 2014 at 7:15 pm
that was just crazy…
I’ve had a post or 2 say “awaiting moderation” before, but nothing was said today.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:17 pm
eli manning won 2 superbowls…
he scrambled and made some throws to win those games…so it just goes to your definition. john elway won a superbowl.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:18 pm
brett farve, aaron rodgers.
they were not stiffs. they scrambled and made plays. so did drew brees.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:19 pm
*favre
January 12th, 2014 at 7:20 pm
again, semantics, I guess.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:20 pm
The further back you go the more less likely you’d find traditional pocket passer 😉
January 12th, 2014 at 7:21 pm
@lurker
Maybe Joe is monitoring you because your moniker is sort of suspicious….could be the moniker of a sex offender,stalker or pedifile.
And….really, Eli Manning is considered a scrambling/running QB….if he is, everyone is.
I’m not saying mobility isn’t important…it is particularly important when you have a weak O-line and recievers that can’t get open and no running game (sound familiar)
January 12th, 2014 at 7:21 pm
my bad less likely you’d find someone whose not* one
January 12th, 2014 at 7:23 pm
It’s not about the game moving to read option quarterbacks, what we are saying is the game is moving towards QB’s who can be a threat with their feet if they need to be and that can get away from these faster bigger defenders.
The game is evolving
January 12th, 2014 at 7:24 pm
QB’s who are sitting ducks will fade away IMO

my doctor wishes I was a pedifile! and I do need to walk more… 🙂
actually, lurker is one who reads in threads but rarely posts (lurks)…but I finally posted here and didn’t want to change my name. I’ve already been accused of posting under various handles…lol
but actually, that is clowney.

John Elway….highest season rushing yds total 304….not exactly burning it up!!!
There are plenty of QBs that move around well in and out of the pocket that aren’t runners….Rodgers & Brees come to mind.
This entire discussion probably stems from Glennon’s lack of mobility.
If they had let Freeman run, he might still be here (well, maybe not)
January 12th, 2014 at 7:33 pm
That’s not the point, the point is if you see all these top rated passers coming in.
They can be a threat with their feet, Luck can be a throaty with his feet.
They can get away if they have to.
Rodgers and Brees can be threats with their feet if they have to.
They aren’t sitting ducks when the pressure gets through the line.
Ala a Glennon.

throaty??? wth lol threat*
January 12th, 2014 at 7:34 pm
To Lurk:
(person or animal) be or remain hidden so as to wait in ambush for someone or something.
Joe…..be on alert!!!
January 12th, 2014 at 7:36 pm
I wondered how u knew luck was throaty? lol
and I have always thought that when freeman lost his mobility he lost half his effectiveness. also, I do not know why he lost the weight he did. he regressed then too.

No one is saying they have to be “runners” but they have to be able to run if need be.
IMO the game is moving towards that.
And if you don’t have a QB that can somehow compensate for that, they aren’t starting QB’s.
Sitting ducks won’t make it in todays NFL
But any who I think i’ve stated the same thing like 4 different ways lol.
I hear what your saying, just not getting my point across well enough I guess.
We’ll just agree to disagree 😀
January 12th, 2014 at 7:39 pm
I think it is your accent prbucfan. 😉
lol
January 12th, 2014 at 7:40 pm
Damn, I think your right Lurk! lolol
January 12th, 2014 at 7:44 pm
Sure…it would be great to have a QB that can scramble and run once in a while but I don’t think its absolutely necessary.
I’d like to see us draft or go into FA to create depth/competition at the QB position….but, even then, we may not get a runner.
I’d also like to have a TE that can recieve and block….an Olinemen that can consistantly pass block and open up running lanes. A 3rd reciever that can get open….and how about a DE that can sack and constantly harrass the QB.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:46 pm
While we’re at it….a safety that can tackle without a 15 yd penalty and more than one shutdown corner.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:48 pm
We may not get a “runner” but we’ll get someone with the ability to run if need be, not a sitting duck lolz 😉
buuuut I heeeeaaar ya =)
January 12th, 2014 at 7:49 pm
everything else can be gotten in the coming drafts or free agency, not a qb unfortunately.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:51 pm
and….oh yea, I forgot….a FB that can block, run & catch…
and a OC that will call his number more than once every two games…..
I want a lot of things….I’d have most all of these if I were a Panther, Seahawk or 49r fan….but that would suck!!!
January 12th, 2014 at 7:52 pm
PR…..
Sounds lke you’re a ABG guy…..(you figure it out)
January 12th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
I’ll be whatever you want me to be TBBF 😉
January 12th, 2014 at 7:56 pm
@ lurker (not-lurking)
Yes…we can pick up a lot of pieces to the puzzle this year, I am sure…..Top priority 3rd WR…..CB….DE….TE…..and I’d like to get younger on the Oline.
January 12th, 2014 at 7:57 pm
When you see teams like the 9ers and Seahawks where they are today, it hurts to be a Bucs fan. These are two teams that just a couple of seasons ago the Bucs were beating up on. Now look at them. In just one or two seasons both these teams did a complete 180 and turned into instant contenders. After 5 full seasons, the Bucs are still rebuilding.
January 12th, 2014 at 8:01 pm
PR…..Anybody But Glennon
Here is the exciting news….
Bridgewater
Clowney
Manziel
Matthews
Bortles
Carr
Watkins
One of these guys will be ours….unless we want Mack or trade down….One of these would be a good start.
January 12th, 2014 at 8:04 pm
I’m honestly ok with any of them.
If Love and Jeff pick Glennon, i’m fine with it.
But I hope their competition for the job
And oh lol, i see i see
January 12th, 2014 at 8:05 pm
I was googling AGB like crazy, ahahaha.
I had the wrong acronym and everything
January 12th, 2014 at 8:07 pm
Oh…sure….if these new coaches sign off on giving Glennon another year to develop….I’m fine…you know the Glazers will let them do whatever they want….draft up…whatever.
Look at that list of players…..solid picks….someone is gonna want to trade up to get one of them.
January 12th, 2014 at 8:10 pm
I’m pretty sure Lovie is going to get to do whatever he wants.
I would think so anyways hahaha
January 12th, 2014 at 8:14 pm
if we don’t move up, we should stay put. any one of those players would work well, even Matthews. but I think we need to snag one of those and not move down.
and when I said we can get the others holes filled in the coming drafts, I meant, 2015, 2016, etc. we will hopefully not be picking this high to get a qb next year, 2016, 2017.
January 12th, 2014 at 8:15 pm
I mean…I’ve been watching Denver…..Peyton with an empty backfield…yelling “Omaha”…..snap 1,2…throw to open reciever…..wow!!!
We just don’t get open like that.
January 12th, 2014 at 8:30 pm
I don’t think we will pick this high next year…but there are many QBs that will be drafted high this year, so not many teams will need QBs next year….and next year we will have all of our picks….we will have Winston, Mariota, Hundley & others coming next year (2015)….that would be the year to trade up….and meanwhile the rest of our team is developing….get the Franchise guy next year if Glennon or TBA doesn’t perform in 14……
January 12th, 2014 at 8:33 pm
I like Seattle in the next game and think they should win it, other things being equal. But I think it will be a game where it really comes down to a one turnover advantage, or a big special teams play that will likely be the difference…two good balanced teams, a lot of rivalry, that know each other very well. I’m looking forward to it…should be a great game.
January 12th, 2014 at 8:38 pm
Hey joe/joes…. Love you guys but Newton sucks! If that’s a franchise QB, then I don’t want one!
January 12th, 2014 at 8:41 pm
Newton Double-sucks….
January 12th, 2014 at 10:14 pm
Lol @ the Joes. The Panties got handled.
January 13th, 2014 at 2:28 am
I guess joe should stick to covering the bucs… Cam is a cry baby and can’t handle pressure. Luke keuchly is the most overrated player in the nfl. All of his tackles are 6 yards down field and most are him just jumping on the pile.
Panthers are a good team, and most days cam is a good QB, but cam doesn’t have the mental make up to be an nfl great.
January 13th, 2014 at 2:37 pm
Thinking Trubucfan hit that on the head! Sorry but Cam crumbles under pressure
