Bucs Sign A Quarterback
December 24th, 2020
Dealin.’
With NFL failure and former Bucs fourth-string quarterback Josh Rosen getting picked up by John Lynch and the 49ers, it left a hole on the ever-popular practice squad.
And Bucco Bruce Arians Arians reached into his past to have Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht sign one. That would be former Cardinals signal-caller Drew Stanton.
This news comes from NFL Network and FOX NFL insider and closet Bucs fan Peter Schrager.
The @Buccaneers are signing veteran QB Drew Stanton to their practice squad, per sources.
Stanton knows Bruce Arians’ offense from their time together in Arizona.

Stanton started 17 games for Arians during a four-year tenure with the Cardinals.
The former Michigan State star hasn’t stepped onto an NFL field in a regular season game in three years. That’s when he played for — you guessed it — Arians in Arizona.
Joe guesses this is about the best one can do on Christmas Eve if you are looking for a No. 4 quarterback. Stanton already knows Arians’ offense inside and out.
Let’s hope the Bucs make sure he enters year No. 4 without taking a snap from center.

😂
Not sure I would leave home on the holidays to get a practice squad check after 3 years- unless he’s dead broke, or still wants to play

Clean:
Stanton will get somewhere around $12k a week so he’s bound to pocket $36k, minimum, through the holidays.
Beats paying a gym to work out in.

Plus, Stanton gets to leave the wasteland known as a Michigan for Florida!

Future of the Franchise. Just like every practice squad qb.
December 24th, 2020 at 4:00 pm
This is just an Arians move to take care of one of his..down and out Ex-cardinal players. I don’t think anybody at all is the least impressed with this move.

Thank God it’s not JayMiss.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Peace, out

Who needs cheerleaders when you have Drew Stanton?
December 24th, 2020 at 4:03 pm
Merry Christmas!!

Great news, if Brady goes down we have solid backups to replace him good work BA.
December 24th, 2020 at 4:33 pm
B.. b… but Josh Rosen said he wasn’t leaving!
December 24th, 2020 at 4:47 pm
I would have no problem at all signing Mr Pick 6 to the practice squad. Someone needs to hold the tackling dummies.

BA is fiercely loyal to his ex players & coaches……either that or he/s getting kickbacks……

Dungy was loyal to Clyde Christenson

36yr old.
Combine4 Bucs QB =200yrs
Bucs defense players =200yrs

………nothin’
December 24th, 2020 at 7:23 pm
Mike Johnson: Down and out? Do you know Drew Stanton? Nah.
December 24th, 2020 at 7:39 pm
We need a fourth QB for why?

Adrnagy: Only off by 59 years.
Drew Stanton has made over $26 million in his NFL career. I wish I was that “down and out”. Some people would rather go with “alternate facts” (made up gibberish).

I was incorrect, Stanton lives in Arizona, not Michigan. He’s from here, but was smart enough to leave.
December 24th, 2020 at 8:16 pm
There is more. Drew Stanton also helped the “Lions achieve their first road win in over three years, leading them to a 23–20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers” in Week 15. Yup. A Buc killer is he.
Year: 2010. Bucs narrow playoff miss on the bad OPI call on Vaseline totin Kellen Winslow II. Then, Stanton led the team down the field to win on a field goal in overtime.
Win, and it’s playoffs for Raheem. But not so. The Packers took over that seed and went to the playoffs over our Bucs and won the SB that year.

You know it Roy. 🙁

Good information, RTB!

This seems to have iced it that we thought John Rosen wasn’t an NFL player, feel bad for the guy
December 25th, 2020 at 1:06 am
Literally threw-up in my mouth just a little….Stanton?
Yeah I know the Blah Blah about how he knows the playbook & won a game for BA in like 2015 or something…How he could play in a pinch & all that Yadda Yadda BS…But the thing is…He plays like a guy that should be out of the league, selling Buick’s in Carver City.
Merry Christmas, Bucs Fans! BA & the FO gave us another reason to prey for TB12’s continued well being, this holiday season.

Am I the only person to think that it was foolish to leave Rosen on the practice squad when, neither of your back-ups will do much more than back-up, in the future?
Maybe he’s not starting material but, how do we know that he can’t run this system with this team. It seems like wasted potential/ opportunity.
Now we MUST draft a QB or pick-up the over rated Gorappolo.

Like the locker room scene in the movie Invincible, if Brady goes down, does it really matter?
December 25th, 2020 at 1:30 pm
catcard202: You do realize we’re talking about the 4th string QB, correct?
BringBucsBack: How do we know that Blaine Gabbert or Ryan Griffin can’t run this system with this team? Those are the guys that Rosen was unable to beat out for a roster spot. I had zero expectations for Josh Rosen, and I have zero qualms with him being left unprotected.
