Clinching For Kyle Trask

December 23rd, 2023

Backup QB Kyle Trask.

The legions of obsessed Kyle Trask fans are a passionate bunch. They love their guy, and some are upset because they believe the Bucs would have a winning record if Trask had been granted his rightful opportunity to quarterback the Bucs.

Instead, of course, Baker Mayfield is the starter. And he’s one win against Jacksonville tomorrow away from riding a four-game winning streak and being a full-throttle media darling of the NFL.

Joe is a Mayfield fan, but Joe sympathizes with the Trask faithful. So Joe is cheering extra hard for the Bucs to win their next two games (Jaguars and Saints). For if that happens, then the Bucs will clinch the NFC South with one game remaining and Trask should start Week 18 at Carolina.

There would be every reason in the world to rest Mayfield and prepare for the playoffs, and Joe would love to see Trask get his first NFL start.

However, Joe knows the Trask minions would moan about Trask playing behind an offense resting some key players.

Still, Joe wants the Bucs to clinch early so Trask can get 60 minutes of real football. Clinch For Kyle!

For those thinking Mayfield that won’t happen because Mayfield may still contract incentives to earn in Week 18, keep in mind Team Glazer is welcome to buy out those incentives at any time.

That’s what Antonio Brown was demanding in 2021 prior to his historic on-field meltdown, but Bucs general manager Jason Licht told Brown his request for prepaid incentives was as legitimate as his vaccine card. Brown didn’t like that and let the world know.

What would be more fun that Trask lighting up the Panthers with four touchdown passes in a meaningless Week 18 game?

    Wish Trask well, but Baker won the job fair and square. Doesn’t matter what the haters say about Baker his stats speak for themselves.

  2. Casual Observer Says:

    Trask gave Mayfield a bit of a battle in their “competition. Baker has surprised most of us with his fine play. Trask looks like a fine backup. Hope he gets the chance as you describe.

  3. NE Fan Says:

    Licht, ya great move, cost the Bucs a.second SB. They were 8-0 in the games AB played. I don’t think starting Trask now makes any sense. Baker currently sits at #15 with a 54.9 QB rating. Not exactly MVP credentials. Ginshew.and Browning are ranked higher. Not sure either of those guys are making $4MM a season.

  4. T. Says:

    Ahhh,, The vaccine card. Now it makes sense. Although AB nvr will.

  5. HC Grover Says:

    Once Bakefield gets a 30 point cushion Trask will get plenty of clean up mop up time. Now we do not need a QB in the draft. This is advantage for the next years Super Bowl for 2 in a row. After last week I read it right here. Bucs are the best in NFL.

  6. Popcorn Mike Says:

    I just wished we had a chance to see how he Trask preforms over a period of 3 or 4 regular season games but, the way the team struggled over 7 or 8 games its understandable why they went with Mayfield being that he had a bit more on field experience and also seem that Mayfield is very durable, he didn’t miss a game this season. However, Trask was drafted in the second round which to me is very high for a player that never gets in the games.

  7. Beeej Says:

    Trask made some impressive throws in the preseason games, I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a real game. ALSO wondering what’s gonna happen when his contract runs out next year

  8. Joe in Michigan Says:

    Joe: Trask doesn’t have 4 COMPLETIONS in the NFL, let alone a 4 TD game. “Resting” players is not good, instances of this are when the Bucs “rested” Jeff Garcia and he look terrible in their playoff game, and of course the debacle last year after giving away the last game to the Falcons. I believe Herm Edwards was right, you PLAY TO WIN THE GAME, anything else is a loser’s mentality.\

    Lots of ways to look at it. Joe thinks Tristan Wirfs would benefit greatly from a game off to let his ankle improve. Chris Godwin is nursing a knee injury, same goes for him. Half the NFL’s starting quarterbacks have missed time with injuries. No need to expose Mayfield, Joe believes. Same for Mike Evans. Joe doesn’t see good NFL teams, No. 1 seeds, struggling when they come off a bye week in the postseason. –Joe

  9. Buc Prophet Says:

    Trask getting to play while the offense rested starters? They already did that during the sham competition during the preseason. Trask best opportunity is to get away from toilet bowls as soon as possible.

  10. Hodad Says:

    If Trask gets to start it’ll be more like a preseason game, then a regular season game. If Baker ain’t starting you know the rest won’t either. So even if Trask gets the last game, which I hope he does, he’s going to be handing off to Tucker, not White, Wirfs won’t be his left Tackle, and Evans, Godwin will be in street clothes. Still it’s an opportunity to get some meaningfull snaps.

  11. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    If we clinch….Trask should play…….but what about who he plays with?…..I think we should rest as many as possible…we will need to be extremely healthy vs Cowboys 9r Eagles…..

    Sp

    Clench for the Bench

  12. Buccos Says:

    It’s a good problem to have 2 good qb’s. It’s a long season and many starters’s go down. We need to re-sign Mayfield and Trask can play out his rookie contract. I love Trask. He had a great season at Florida but he throws rainbow passes compared to Mayfield, who was throwing laser beams down the seams against Green Bay. Talk about an elite arm. Trask might be the next Brock Purdue but he may have to wait until his deal runs out with Tampa to get on the field

  13. T. McGee Says:

    Isn’t there a chance the 3 seed could be in play? If so, no resting anyone.

  14. Leighroy Says:

    Panthers fans can’t give their tickets away fast enough for week 19. I don’t care who’s resting or quarterbacking. I’m just looking forward to having my pick of the kitties’ luxury box litter for free, especially if our boys continue their win streak!

  15. Joe in Michigan Says:

    So Joe would rather go into the playoffs on a losing note than a 6 game winning streak? These guys could get hurt getting off the bus. Look at the Giants team that won the Super Bowl, they HAD to keep playing to make the playoffs, while all the other teams were “resting”. They just kept playing and winning.
    I don’t think the Bucs will win a playoff game, if they make it…The last week of the season last year when they rolled over against the Falcons, that was disgraceful, no other way to put it…Yes, I do believe Carolina would win that game if Trask starts, he hasn’t shown anything in any actual NFL game.

  16. Jake Says:

    I’m down with that, we need to be able to place some kind of value they have
    in Kyle. It’s highly known that the Bucs don’t want him, so.

  17. WyomingJoe Says:

    Couple of things: I’d love to see research on whether No. 1 Seeds struggle or not after getting a week off, and I’m being sincere Joe. I think that even if you have a great team, a week off has to make you start “slower, “especially during the first few drives. But that’s just my gut. Yeah, if you’re nursing an injury, take the game off, but if you’re healthy, play a quarter or two.

    Secondly, the Bucs created their own controversy by having a QB “competition” in the first place! Baker was signed because the Bucs already knew that Trask wasn’t their guy.

    Like I said in an earlier post, if the Bucs sign Mayfield and still draft a QB, Trask is the odd man out. And if the Bucs decide to clean house and start a 3-5 year rebuilding plan, they would NEVER keep Trask because that creates another QB controversy.

  18. HC Grover Says:

    Trask is going to get Super Bowl Money for benchsitting.4r4

  19. MJD Says:

    “Joe knows the Trask minions would moan about Trask playing behind an offense resting some key players.”

    Joe, a Baker minion, clearly LIKES the idea of Trask playing behind an offense resting some key players because Joe is afraid Trask would light it up with the full starting offense and thereby expose Joe’s worthless quarterback evaluation skills.

  20. MJD Says:

    Jake Says: “It’s highly known that the Bucs don’t want Trask.”

    Riiight. That’s why the Bucs have kept him for three seasons and why when he was the only quarterback on the roster at the time of the 2023 draft the Bucs drafted no quarterback! LMAO.

  21. sasquatch Says:

    Naaah, play the final game to win and finish with a better record.

  22. R.O. Says:

    Im not a Trask supporter. But you want to start him wk 18. With Jarett, thompkins and Palmer at WR. Skule at LT. Feiler at LG, Leverett at C and Tucker at RB and then complain he didnt look very good?

  23. RamblingRhino Says:

    So JBF and all the JBF online GM’s and Head Coaches should we just cut Trask and let him move on to another team without ever knowing how he plays in a full NFL game? Because “you know” he is just not good enough, “you know” how he will just never be a NFL QB. We do have him for one more season. Maybe we can allow him to play a game or all those unnecessary preseason games.

  24. BelleGladeBuc Says:

    The NFL changed to a seeding system for the playoffs in the 1976 season.

    Since 1976, a #1 seed has won the Super Bowl a total of 25 times out of 47 Super Bowls for 53% success rate. Being a #1 seed is a huge advantage for teams.

    #1 Seeds Who Won The Super Bowl

    1976 – Steelers
    1977 – Raiders
    1978 – Cowboys
    1979 – Steelers
    1982 – 49ers
    1983 – Redskins
    1984 – Raiders

  25. BuccaneroJim Says:

    Better to put Baker out there without the first stringers. See if he can throw 4 touch downs, then we should bring him back in 2024.

  26. Leo Says:

    Apparently people don’t watch the games and only look at stats or highlights the bucs would have a much better record if not for the defense getting smoked in 30 seconds or falling apart at the end of games it damn near almost happened again against the falcons that’s NOT on baker …who by the way is having a great season and is on the way to having both his wide receivers at 1k yards…i don’t get people saying okay trask instead that’s just stupid

  27. Eric Says:

    Mayfield had a great game last week everything else Meh nothing special! I love how Joe says baker on a 3 game winning streak, so I guess it’s ok to remind Joe baker lost 6 of 7 prior to that what elite qb does that!

  28. B Says:

    I simply do not believe a passionate, obsessed Kyle Trask fan really exists.

  29. BucsB4 Sapp Says:

    I don’t get the Trask love OR hate. His best bet is hope everything remains in tack for 2024, Evans leaves and Mayfield plays like …… Mayfield. He will get his shot next year. If the team blows up he’s as good as gone with no chance to really be a starter ever. Mayfield balled last game but you guys are really overreacting to his season. And it’s 3 games left.. But another first place schedule, the AFC west next year and Atlanta will be getting a qb#1. Don’t get too excited guys. Baker Mayfield is not the guy. Whether it’s 3 weeks from now or next week,we’ll see.

  30. Tb bolts Says:

    Mayfield’s “fine play” has him .500 on the season in the worst division of the NFL. Hardly back up material

  31. HC Grover Says:

    Hey on Monday all the hype was on to the Super Bowl Top Coach Top QB. Now it seems to be walking back. WTF?

  32. Jim Rudolph Says:

    I’m a gator. I don’t know one person who thinks trask did enough to be named the starter.

  33. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    “They love their guy, and some are upset because they believe the Bucs would have a winning record if Trask had been granted his rightful opportunity to quarterback the Bucs.” – Joe

    I think it is more that we wanted to know IF Trask could have done better…or developed to be better by the end of season with the experience.

    But…the only way we see if Trask would be better now is injury.

    Regardless, I’m now rooting for Mayfield to win, win, win. I hope he can overturn his 60+% career losing record. I hope he beats the Jags (whi9ch I think would win more people over), and I hope he takes us all the way to the Superbowl too.

  34. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    But I also think Trask should get a legit chance to start…somewhere.

  35. Joe in Michigan Says:

    For any of you who are afraid of injuries, George Pickens must be your kinda player…He didn’t block because he was afraid to get hurt. Are you in agreement with what Pickens did? This would be along those same lines, if the Bucs rolled over their last game like they did against the Falcons last year.

  36. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Jim Rudolph Says
    “I’m a gator. I don’t know one person who thinks trask did enough to be named the starter.”

    I’m not a gator, and I know he won the quarterback competition in training camp…but it was rigged from the start.

    But it is what it is now. Too late to find out.

    ^^^^^^
    Where?

  38. Since76 Says:

    If Mayfield is retained the bucs will need to have that monte kiffen defense back. Mayfield can’t carry a team, the team must carry him. If you have a trent dilfer Qb you have to have a monte kiffen defense. Or the ray lewis ravens defense. I’ll take either version. That’s what it will take to win with Mayfield.

  39. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    So…let’s say we clinch our playoff spot with this game (not sure if possible, but…) and Trask gets to play with a bunch of starters resting (which is a recipe for disaster in the playoffs).

    But Trask ends up throwing 4 touchdowns in each game and has no interceptions (I mean, it’s division rivals, s it is possible). Looks incredible. How would we handle him going forward?

    He is under contract thru 2024.

    Trade Bait?
    Safety Net in case Mayfield does badly next year?

  40. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    Joe in Michigan Says:
    “Where?”

    Well, if Mayfield does well the rest of this season, it won’t be here. That’s for certain. I feel for the kid.

    Just don’t trade him to the 49ers!

  41. unbelievable Says:

    Remember how great and rested we looked after the bye week?

    No thanks- every starter should play at least a few drives

  42. Oz Len Says:

    Buccos Says: “He had a great season at Florida but he throws rainbow passes compared to Mayfield, who was throwing laser beams down the seams against Green Bay. ”

    There…right there…that’s it. Brilliant…

  43. Georgia Redneck Says:

    They should trade Trask or he should leave on his own when he gets a chance. He has not had a true competition to start. Bowles was in man love with Mayfield before Mayfield arrived here.
    Trask had no coaching while Brady was here and I just pointed out concerning a competitive chance earlier.

  44. Buccaneric Says:

    This is an epic troll, and no better time to post it after a statistically perfect game for baker. Bravo!

    #Brushfirejoe has a good ring to it, and this Joe is lacking monikers as they fan the flames of fan division!

    Since76says u talk like it’s 1976 did u know this is 2023 time to catch-up old man,put the pipe down & change u r diaper

  46. BakerBucs Says:

    Bowles may have appreciated baker but I am pretty sure glazers have the final say,! I am sure they wanted baker believe it or not.Mayfield brings a high level of interest to have fans show up it’s always bout the money.all the dumbbells saying they won’t sell tickets with baker plz get u r facts rite look at tomorrow no tickets available. I think Mayfield is also selling merchandise, on line for the bucs money,money,money& he is fun to watch

  47. Shane Callahan Says:

    NE Fan is a liar.😒

  48. orlbucfan Says:

    I just love all the ‘newbies’ on here. How about some diehard Bucs fans with half a brain? Kyle Trask can’t help how and when he was drafted and put behind the relic with a clipboard. So, now he’s watching Feisty/smart BM. He’s getting a great education. If BM gets his neck broken (god forbid), Trask can step in. There’s a lot of NFL teams who wish they were in the Bucs shoes with this situation. Go Bucs!!

  49. Shane Callahan Says:

    (Still)

  50. Shane Callahan Says:

    Haters and trolls on fansites are pathetic losers. I pray for y’all.

  51. Shane Callahan Says:

    Go Bucs! Go Baker! Go Trask!!!

  52. BelleGladeBuc Says:

    The Bucs have $47 million of cap space next season.

    These are the ufa’s they will need to replace or resign along with their draft picks with the $47 million:

    Mike Evans, Devin White, Lavonte David, Baker Mayfield, Greg Gaines, William Gholston, Matt Feiler, Antoine Winfield Jr., Aaron Stinnie, Chase Edmonds, Ryan Neal, Zach Triner, Chase McLaughlin, Cam Gill, Justin Skule, David Wells

    After next season, All Pro LT Wirfs will be an UFA.

    You will not be able to keep all of them.

  53. Duane in Sanford Says:

    This is a much better situation for Trask. No way you could have expected him to weather that losing streak and keep his confidence up. That streak would have likely continued and everyone would be looking for a new job. He is supposed to be that patient guy that continues to improve while he waits for his chance. Maybe he will be worthy with another year of riding the pine under his belt.

  54. go dawgs Says:

    The Kyle Trask fanatics ate just washed up minions of the defunct Mike Glennon mob…. go bucs, merry xmas!

  55. Tony marks Says:

    I’m for him getting the start as well

    I know the Trask cult will cry about 2nd tier players but its the panthers so that about makes it even. At any rate its just for his expererience. It won’t prove anything regardless for either side

    IF he plays well its the stinkin panthers.

    if he plays bad then he was with a second unit.

    excuses are built in. Ony way he would lose standings is if he is reckless with the ball

  56. David Says:

    Baker Bucs will not resign Toilet Bowl and Baker. His performance this season is slightly better than his poor mediocre career stats in NFL worst division. That is still a journey man stats who has no chance taking a team to the super bowl let alone win it.
    Here are the facts;
    1. Baker career completions of 61.7%, 87 pass rating and 38W-45L vs. 2023 stats of 63%, 89 pass rating and 7W-7L.

    2. Baker has had a turnover in 5 of last 6 games. He led the NFL in turnovers in the last three season.
    2. Bucs won two games prior to Green Bay game with their defense as Baker was nothing but garbage in those games with the poor pas and quarter back ratings.
    3. It took Baker almost the whole season to go from a losing record to finally reach.500 record in the toilet division of NFL.
    4. He hasn’t won a game against team with the wining record this season and he has career worst record against the team with wining records.
    5. He never won the qb competitions this year. Trask won it outright on the road defeating Jets. He was penciled in and chosen by the toilet bowl as soon TB was promoted to the HC position. Toilet Bowl even admitted he always wanted Baker when came out of college.

  57. Obvious Says:

    If they draft a qb Trask is definitely gone. Other than that if I were him I’d of course have to consult with my agent on whether or not the opportunity was ANYWHERE ELSE because the Buccaneers aren’t worthy of whatever he has to offer good or bad.
    I’d tell the team that ruined my opportunity to F off. Wouldn’t you?
    Now if the opportunity scene is not there he would certainly be better served making money for nothing right here until Mayfield goes down. Mayfield could go down at anytime. Its said he’s injury prone. Let’s hope it’s not this year while fighting for the gold. But it WILL happen eventually according to the grapevine though I haven’t seen it. And if Trask is that good he’ll get his shot elsewhere just as soon as the shackles come off.

    Personally, if I were him, that’s what I’d do while hoping that scene looks good as soon as possible so I could wave bye bye. I’m not a big fan of Trask in particular but my buccaneers have done him dirty as far as I can tell and wouldn’t be surprised at all if he jumps ship and went to where far better coaches and opportunities exist to get some payback for the team that let me rot…..

    This is the one and only time I’ve ever felt like this about my team. I hope I never feel that way ever again. But Trask deserves a real shot I don’t care who says differently, I’m not going to change my mind on the subject ever. It wasn’t right that he didn’t get a fair shot. He beat Mayfield and everybody knows it. He’ll hate us forever for that more than likely and I would imagine he’ll circle the bucs games first and foremost every year looking to make us regret it. And maybe we will.

    You will not be able to keep all of them.

  59. Joe in Michigan Says:

    Ah, good old David, the guy that thinks preseason games actually matter. Go ahead, put Trask in your Preseason Hall of Fame. Hahahahahaha

  60. David Says:

    They just cleared him to play tomorrow. Here we go Baker. Here is your chance to defeat a team with a wining record this season or be left to catch ride wit your daddy to the next town following the game.

  61. Joe Says:

    Mike Evans, Devin White, Lavonte David, Baker Mayfield, Greg Gaines, William Gholston, Matt Feiler, Antoine Winfield Jr., Aaron Stinnie, Chase Edmonds, Ryan Neal, Zach Triner, Chase McLaughlin, Cam Gill, Justin Skule, David Wells

    Devin White is gone, probably Greg Gaines (unless he returns very cheap), thinking Will Gholston may be gone, Matt Feiler will be gone, Edmonds should be gone, Neal likely will be gone. Cam Gill, Justin Skule and David Well, bye.

  62. David Says:

    You are right 100%. That is exactly what I expressed before, the pre-season doesn’t and didn’t matter. Trask would have been the starter if pre-season games were mattered. LOL.

  63. bill Says:

    Joe…..we haven’t done anything yet and your making plans to see Trask play…you’re losing repect…. the best players play….did you ever play on a competive team?

  64. Defense Rules Says:

    BelleGladebuc … ‘The Bucs have $47 million of cap space next season’.

    True statement, but that always has to be caveated with ‘the rest of the story’ as Paul Harvey used to say. In the Bucs’ case, that’s for ONLY 33 players under contract, PLUS paying 6 others who’ll be UFAs (Evans, Winfield, LVD, Mayfield, Gaines, Feiler) for their voided contract years a total of $20.7 mil. IOW $47 mil to fill 20 roster spots (including having to pay several high-priced FAs like Evans, Winfield, possibly Mayfield & Wirfs) is chicken-feed. We’re in serious doo-doo UNLESS we can save some significant salary CAP space by releasing several high-priced vets. Easier said than done.

  65. Defense Rules Says:

    In regards to Trask playing, a 1 game ‘evaluation’ is meaningless. Bucs still don’t know what they have in Kyle Trask after 3 full seasons. That borders on criminal IMO. Not only have we damaged his career to this point by never giving him an opportunity to see what he can do on Sundays playing with the #1s.

    Baker Mayfield has now gotten over 900 snaps this season to get to this point as our QB. None of us will ever know what we would’ve had in Kyle Trask IF he’d been the one to get those 900 snaps. Drafting him in 2021 did him a real disservice IMO, as well as costing us a very valuable 2nd Rnd pick.

  66. orlbucfan Says:

    LVD and ME13 deserve raises. There’s a bunch of potential dead weight on this team Licht can let go. Bucs finish 10-7 and it’ll get real interesting in the off-season. I feel a 10-7 finish. This isn’t like years ago when they finished 10-6 under Morris. They won’t get to the Stupid Bowl, but I would not be surprised to see them win their first postseason game.

  67. BelleGladebuc Says:

    @Joe

    Winfield is on the injury report as questionable with a calf injury. Do you have any news? If Winfield can’t go the nightmare scenario of our already horrible secondary being without Winfield like you and Ira talked about in the podcast debate of Evans v Winfield would become a reality.

  68. Joe Says:

    Winfield is on the injury report as questionable with a calf injury. Do you have any news?

    No.

    If Winfield can’t go the nightmare scenario of our already horrible secondary being without Winfield like you and Ira talked about

    Probably. 🙁

  69. Beeej Says:

    aGAIN, David spends most of his blather on Baker’s prior years with OTHER teams, OTHER coaches, OTHER systems. He has to go back that far to make him look undesirable as a starter

  70. Buccaneer Bonzai Says:

    I believe Bowles pulled Brady out of the final game last year and Gabbert played?

    “aGAIN, David spends most of his blather on Baker’s prior years with OTHER teams, OTHER coaches, OTHER systems. He has to go back that far to make him look undesirable as a starter”

    That is a poor arguement, considering his only good year was his rookie year.

    This year can’t really be considered that good…yet. Still 3 games left to play. If he ends with a winning record, it will be the first time in years.

    If the past doesn’t matter…then why hold it against players we are not hapoy with?

  72. garro Says:

    I would love to see Trask get some meaningful snaps this year.
    By meaningful I mean with the first team guys across the board.
    Short of Mayfield going down with a serious injury during the week of practice this week or next it ain’t gonna happen folks.

    First of all meaningful also means a week of practice and game planning with the ones. Again, it ain’t happening short of injury and I don’t think that is likely nor do I want that to happen.

    Snaps with the two’s and Three’s don’t mean much in a meaningless game! Might as well be a practice scrimmage Joe!

    At this point all Buc fans should be rooting for our starting QB. I have nothing against either one of them. But right now Task just needs to stay ready which is what he is doing I’m sure. The time for complaints is long passed people!

    Go Bucs!

  73. BillyBucco Says:

    Agreed, rehashing this story isn’t needed.
    The Bucs will learn NOTHING about Trask this year.
    if Mayfield gets injured, you might can CREDIT Trask with being prepared and looking ok, but these guys ALL need weeks of playing with the 1s.
    Hell, it took Brady 12 weeks with the 1s to find traction.
    If Trask does go on to find success it wouldn’t surprise me.
    Look at what talent our coaches went with this year that we KNOW of.
    White < Britt
    Neal < Delaney
    JTS < Diaby
    Palmer < Moore
    Thompkins < Moore
    Dean < McCollum
    This is why it’s quite possible Baker < Trask, we just DONT KNOW.

    I guess Joe can’t stand it without stirring the pot. I’m a Gator but as always Trask time will come and right now Bakers getting confident n getting the job done. Maybe a bit late but we still can peak at the right time. I’m sure Trask is 100% supportive 🍻

  75. Robbie Says:

    We’d have a better record if Trask had been our starting qb!!

    R.O. Says: “I’m not a Trask supporter. But you want to start him wk 18 with Jarett, Thompkins and Palmer at WR, Skule at LT, Feiler at LG, Leverett at C, and Tucker at RB, and then complain he didn’t look very good?”

    Yes! That is precisely what Todd, Joe, Joe, and Ira want. They have too much riding on Trask not looking good. It’s a must.

    @Chuckys Bucs

    Still suffering from Jameis Delusion Syndrome?

    Baker Mayfield clearly proved all the haters wrong even with a dismal play calling team he has gained positive stats

    Noooo.
    Trask is such a horrible, Noodle armed QB,
    That he could lose the NFC South
    even if we’ve already clinched it.

    Yup, such a horrible, typical Florida QB- that his bad play would produce a mathematical anomaly.

    Would it have been a huge loss if we never saw Mike Glennon play?
