Glad Irv is more self aware than Clueless Joe and is willing to step aside presenting Lynch. As there is only a finite number of speeches one person can give about a player. If Irv goes 0-8 with Lynch it’s the right thing to let someone else try
Go Bucs!!!!

Kwon did miss a pick. Up over his head but did hit him right in the hands. I always liked Kwon, but he had one heck of a bad game. I think it was one drive he missed 3 tackles, too bad for him. Good for us because I think you guys are right that we did get better after him and McCoy were gone. Keep the fingers crossed for Lynch next year. Maybe the Bucs can help out a little and get him some more praise.

To me, Derek Carr could be the answer…
A fairly young vet with plenty left and the Bucs can focus on the other positions in the draft…
If Carr struggles then draft a qb in 2021 and have a better built team to develop the rookie around..
If Arians lives up to his reputation, Carr becomes a NFL quality qb the Bucs has never had and set at that position the next 10 years or so.

Glad Ira is happy. I’m enjoyed watching the Chiefs win too. I lived in Missouri for 12 years and was a big Chiefs fan, but I’m all in with the Bucs now. Any sense of happiness for my family and friends up there is drowned by my frustration with the Bucs. BA says we are gonna stop beating ourselves. I dearly hope he’s right. Give me some hope that there will be a victory parade in Tampa someday.

Derek Carr!?!?!??
Ok sure can’t wait to watch him throw the ball away on 4th and 2 in the 4th quarter.

I love Ira thinking we are pining for Mahomes during the Superbowl when he threw two picks and fumbled the ball twice. He literally had the most Jameis game ever. The difference is he plays on a complete team so he won the Superbowl.

BA wants aggressive go for the win QB and Carr does not have the guts to play for BA. Carr would rather throw the ball away as time runs out then take a chance on a win to keep his stats short of a INT.

Joe and Ira,
You guys should look at exit velocity in baseball. A hitter can’t control if the defense shifts and gets the ball, but a hitter should try and piss on every ball put into play. By that base understanding, a hitter should be recognized for how hard they consistently hit the ball.

Keep believing that Jameis is as good as Mahomes and Manning.
Now comparing Derek Carr, Kurt Cousins, Joe Flacco, and Andy Dalton to Winston is fair.

Jameis is more like Jay Cutler sans poor body language. Smart, big arms, and all the wtf decisions you could ask for.
Ndog, I promise to support JW3 if retained. However, is it fair to be skeptical of Jameis at this point? 🤔 I tend to represent polar opposite beliefs about the evaluation of our QB, but I will be big enough to admit if I’m wrong. Will you?
Side opinion, I believe some members of the Bucs Fan base are FSU supporters first, and would rather ride or die with Jameis than dare try something new. I believe this sentiment is also doubled down because of the recent lack of quality FSU football. Jameis is a nostalgic hope of a college title 8 years ago.

I wonder what the Big Dog would say about the Chief gushing? I think I know… “I don’t give two spits and if they mean that much to you take a plane to KC and stay there!”

So Geno are you saying when Jameis throws two picks and fumbles twice in a game you don’t rip him?

F’ no!!! That BS has chased Joe away from a game he once loved but no longer recognizes it.
