Looks like they had a fine draft – especially for the D. Lots of reshuffling on the O line. So, I think we must wait and see what happens in the pre-season. I am optimistic (as always) but must wait.
Baker Mayfield has won the popularity contest, but Trask imo doesn’t have to do much to look just as good. Be smart, make the best decisions from rep to rep, and when in a tight spot 1.) maximize ball security, 2.) stay composed and 3.) don’t be a hero. I’d even be willing to argue Trask is a better physical athlete than Mayfield and probably brings just as much if not more to the team in terms of being an athlete. Mayfield just has a longer track record in comparison to Trask, and I saw a graphic over the weekend that showed how similar their final years in college were.
I want Trask bc I want to see him succeed and be the qb of the future. Sadly I don’t think it will happen, both bc he seems behind schedule and may be outplayed by Baker. I would be thrilled to be proven wrong.
It’s bakers job to lose. After seeing what trask did his last year at UF got me excited about him as our QB. he would have much better weapons with Bucs then UF. I don’t watch college so I’m not a UF fan. Just personally think trask has more upside than baker. If it’s baker or trask ima root for them to be successful. Let’s go Bucs
It’s a joke right? Confidence is in no way shape or form found in either of the 3 options we currently have at QB
Baker is going to be Baker – just good enough to get you beat late n the game with a bad turnover or boneheaded decision
Kyle is going to be a deer in the headlights with the speed of the NFL VS the SEC he last played in a few years ago…going to take a half season for him to get a feel for it
Honestly, it’s better for the BUCS if Baker balls out in camp, but Trask beats him anyway.
We only pay Baker $4 mil. Save 4.5 mil towards 2024. And we have one more cheap year of Trask.

What does Mayfield bring to the table other than “moxie”?
Experience being a signal caller of an NFL team that won 11 games and one playoff game.

It’s a fair counterpoint, however I will point out that he had the NFL’s best running game, one of the best offensive lines, and that year he had a great defense. He wasn’t asked to do much – but, with that said, played well – by far the best of his career.
I hope he can play well since I hate the idea of watching a boring, dull team that goes 6-11. I’d much rather see the team tank and win 3 games, or keep the Bucs in the playoff hunt, but I see 5-12 or 6-11 for this team, with this coach. Now if Arians was coach, I think they could win like 9 games and would stick around all year, but with Bowles, nope.
I do not think the results of this one are anything more than a glorified populartiry contest. I have a hard time believing that this percentage represents the mostly informed take of most of the regular posters here on JBF.

Honestly, quite unsure between Trask and Mayfield. At least there’s SOME tape on Woolford.
Need more data before I form an opinion.
July 17th, 2023 at 10:58 am
Kyle Trask – the “Original Future Plan” that we all were comfortably led to believe.

It’s still rumored that TB12 could return according to Antoine Winfield…..

This is before people have seen a single preseason snap
July 17th, 2023 at 11:30 am
Trask, but only if he earns it, because that would be a really good sign for our team and its future. But it doesn’t sound like he’s going to earn it…

A good QB is a consistent QB, so the long run shows Trask might be it.
He had a bad day in mini camp, but was otherwise consistent and was consistently improving.
What the coaches do is the mystery of the universe.

Todd doesn’t have time for either option

I voted for Baker but honestly I want the QB who wins the QB competition to start.

Based on what? Everything I’ve read is that he had quite a good spring camp. The comments from Bucs players have been that the competition is close.

I want Baker Mayfield to start…so he can take the hits while the new OL gets their act together.

So 26% (ish) of JBF’ers are making 90% of the noise on the Traskfield “competition”
