Bucs Lacking At Quarterback?
March 27th, 2025
“And I thought Peter King was a clown?”
This is an extra fun one because Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht literally sat down for an interview with the purveyor of this nonsense a month ago at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Joe’s referring to NFL Daily host Gregg Rosenthal, who’s best known for his work at NFL.com.
In a new segment highlighting “screaming needs” for each NFL team, Rosenthal kicked off the Bucs’ turn with this gem. “If they had a slightly better quarterback, I’d think they’d be in the inner circle of Super Bowl contenders,” Rosenthal said, referring to Baker Mayfield.
Man, that is one of the most moronic takes Joe’s heard in a while. Mayfield captains the NFL’s fourth-ranked offense at 29.5 points per game.
“It’s not hate; he’s great,” Rosenthal said of Mayfield after getting pushback from his production team.
“I think they would be in the inner circle of Super Bowl favorites if, like, Justin Herbert was their quarterback.”
So the Bucs ranked fourth in the NFL in total touchdowns with 59, and fourth in overall scoring while Mayfield completed 71.4 percent of his passes, but Herbert would make them a better offense. Got it.
Joe’s confident Licht will have an intern print him two copies of this post: one for Licht’s overflowing receipt box and one to send Mayfield on his birthday next month.
Rosenthal later said the Bucs only have “one real need” for the draft, and that’s at off-ball/inside linebacker.
Enjoy reasoned and seasoned Bucs takes on the Ira Kaufman Podcast. Listen below.

Mayfield proved he was a top 5 qb last year
March 27th, 2025 at 3:15 pm
Yea.. makes perfect sense lol
March 27th, 2025 at 3:15 pm
Baker-Haters (Munch) are gonna eat this up as straight truth rather than someone’s biased opinion.
March 27th, 2025 at 3:18 pm
When we went out to the west coast to play San Diego on their home field their Hollywood pretty boy QB was abused by our troubled D. Meantime Baker and the boys demolished their Media hyped VAUNTED defense.
Baker is made of iron. Herbert is made of butter. And San Diego still folds at gut check time. Yeah they got a good coach now. But he doesn’t play. Baker will win one or more SBs before Herbert ever gets close.
March 27th, 2025 at 3:19 pm
Hes just got to cut down on the turnovers because the production was there. 10 of his 16 INT’s were also in the 2nd quarter. It might be as simple as figuring that out
March 27th, 2025 at 3:35 pm
Maybe Rosenthal sent Jason a solid? They did seem on good terms? He may just be testing Licht’s list?
March 27th, 2025 at 3:36 pm
Wow. Dumbest statement on JBF in a while goes to westernpennafan.
“Baker will win one or more SBs before Herbert ever gets close.”
Just in case you’ve forgotten, it takes winning three games just to get to a Superbowl.
Saying Baker will win one or more before he’s sniffed the NFC title game is moronic at best.
Take off the Baker nut sack scented glasses and come back to reality.
Most interceptions in the NFL. Where have we seen that before……
March 27th, 2025 at 3:56 pm
Dawg Chill!! How long you been a fan? Brady was the exception, but Bake has us on the best roll in years!!! Games are exciting to watch. Believe me I’m not wearing scented glasses, Jameis who, bad memory dude. Go lay some money now while the odds are high, Bake and the Bucs Super Bowl champs!!
March 27th, 2025 at 3:59 pm
WOW!!!!
March 27th, 2025 at 4:12 pm
Thank you Gggreggg for telling me you didn’t watch the Bucs last year without specifically saying you didn’t watch the Bucs last year. LET’S BAKE!
March 27th, 2025 at 4:18 pm
I get what Rosenthal is saying. Baker is NOT the kind of QB that usually wins a SB. But there was a time when Jalen Hurts types didn’t either. Baker represents the beer guzzling masses, not the analytics nerds looking for the perfect armed, missile throwing masters like Manning or Brady. Baker isn’t a thinking man’s QB, he’s something else entirely. Easy to dismiss, but impossible to ignore. Baker’s a winning county fair stock racer who battled his way into NASCAR. Nobody on the circuit thinks he’ll win a race, and he eats their doubts up like Jordan ate Wheaties.
March 27th, 2025 at 4:19 pm
We get almost no respect from national media. You tell as they breathe through their mouths that they have no real knowledge of the Bucs.
March 27th, 2025 at 4:20 pm
Oh yes what Rosethal says is tarue!! The problem being, there are only 5 quarterbacks that are “better” and their owners aren’t about to let them go for any amount of money. So we are stuck with the likes of Baker, Baker head coach maker.
March 27th, 2025 at 4:29 pm
In a couple of years some of the Mayfield naysayers will be touting him. They will be saying “I knew he was a top tier NFL QB and a winner all along.”. 🙈 😄
Go Bucs!!
March 27th, 2025 at 4:38 pm
Justin Sherbert is not as good as Mayfield. I want some of what he’s drinking and smoking. What a turd. Just an awful take.
March 27th, 2025 at 4:38 pm
its not that we need a better QB…
we just need less TOs from our starting QB….
if baker doesnt lead the league in INTs this year(again), you can circle us in as SB contenders…
GO BUCS!!!!!

Actually Bucdog you acting like having 16 interceptions automatically keeps you from winning a superbowl is pretty high on the dumb category itself. If I remember right, Mahomes had 15 and he played in the superbowl didn’t he? Or am I misremembering that? If you weren’t spending your time talking about another man’s nut sack maybe you would realize that… or maybe you wouldn’t 🤔
March 27th, 2025 at 4:51 pm
I Lol’ed at another commenter on this site before last season who said Baker Mayfield was the next coming of Drew Brees. He was so confident in his statement with nothing to back it up other than a feeling.
I’m not saying Bake is the next Brees, but after watching him improve the past 2 seasons, he has COMPLETELY changed my mind. I think Baker is a top 7 qb and probably top 5.
Turnovers are whats limiting him from being Top 3.
I am pleasantly surprised and admit I was too quick to dismiss Baker Mayfield
March 27th, 2025 at 4:51 pm
davy
15INTs aint the most in the NFL LOL….16 was…thrown by BAKER!!!!
mahomes turned the ball over more time than hurts in the SB…..was he hold the trophy at the end of the game?
baker turned it over vs WAS
Goff turned it over vs WAS
daniels turned it over vs PHILLY
Mahomes turned it over vs Philly
see how that works lol
GO BUCS!!!!!!
March 27th, 2025 at 4:52 pm
Mahomes had 14 interceptions last year and won the superbowl. I doubt 2 interceptions through 17 games loses us a superbowl. I guess it could… not likely…but it could.
March 27th, 2025 at 4:52 pm

March 27th, 2025 at 4:57 pm
And just for the fun of it 813, how did Baker turn the ball over??
March 27th, 2025 at 5:00 pm
@BucDawg
Don’t go insulting peoples intelligence when in the same comment you try and compare Baker having 41 passing TD’s to 16INT’s to Winston having 33 passing TD’s to 30INT’s.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:04 pm
Key phrase is that Mahomes got to the Superbowl.
Baker hasn’t sniffed the third round. And likely never will because he wilts in big moments.
I bet I know what dessert he loves to order when he takes his wife out to dinner.
Fresh hot turnovers.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:05 pm
Do you “think” there’s more to why a team wins or loses than turnovers? You act like turnovers are the end all and be all to the win and loss column. Washington beat us because they had a superior game plan and worked it to perfection. Baker the second best passer rating 108.1 was held to 18 throws. He averaged 35 all year. Nobody got to the red zone as fast as we did all year with second string receivers. They knew they had to keep Baker off that field or they would lose. That is why we lost not because of a turnover. Think man think!!!
March 27th, 2025 at 5:07 pm
Tom Brady the Goat first 7 years NFL 147TD’s 78INT”s. Baker Mayfield first 7 years NFL 171TD’s 90INT’s. Who are you idiots fooling with this nonsense about Mayfield? Next we will learn the YEAH BUT,,,,,,, Brady single handedly went up against his opponents playing solo both offense and defense to win all those Super Bowls. No one cares what an idiot like Rosenthal has to say about Mayfield. By now sensible Tampa fans know the sports media is just a giant echo chamber that repeats the same noise until it becomes “fact.”
Finally, to the idiot hers who mentioned Manning and Brady throwing mortar fire, that is comical. It is pretty well understood that the two strongest QB arms in the NFL are Mayfield and Josh Allen. In fact, Mayfield holds the record for the longest game pass in NFL history at 75 yards.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:08 pm
Bucdog, Do you think the reason Baker hasn’t sniffed that deep into the playoffs is due to the team isn’t quite up to it yet? Do you remember we weren’t supposed to win more than 4 games in 2023? Do you even have a clue as to why they said that? 🤔
March 27th, 2025 at 5:15 pm
Davyboy
The QB is the leader of the team. He gets paid like it too.
Faker gets his stats padded by a great OL and a now great running game, plus two HOF receivers.
Dude is a poor man’s Brett Favre. Without the ability to play for a title.
Just the lowly NFC South crown. That’s Bowles Superbowl.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:15 pm
Herbert is one confusing dude. Sometimes he looks all world. Sometimes he looks terrible.
Kinda the Daniel Jones of the west coast.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:15 pm
Bucdog why are you here? You probably think Mahomes won all those superbowls on his talent alone. It didnt have anything to do with the coach or his system. You obviously don’t know that much about football. But I guess you know about nut sacks….
March 27th, 2025 at 5:18 pm
Yeah Bucdog, he is such a Faker and plays so bad he got 2 OC their first head coach job…that’s all.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:21 pm
He faked 2 NFL systems/teams out and made them both think he played good under the OC. He got them good.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:23 pm
Mayfield Interceptions by quarter, 2024-25 season:
1st – 1
2nd – 10
3rd – 3
4th – 2
Hope they figure this out before next season.
March 27th, 2025 at 5:39 pm
Odd how a team spent a top 5 pick on a MLB and now it’s their biggest need…
Licht needs to be better at roster building
March 27th, 2025 at 5:41 pm
It’s all good.
Bakers are supposed to be good at their job.
Making steaming hot turnovers for us all to enjoy.
No Superbowl, no problem!
March 27th, 2025 at 5:49 pm
Perhaps I would rather have Allen or Burrow ,,, maybe Mahomes or Stafford ,,, beyond that I’m totally satisfied w my guy ,,, the reason I’m not sure of the last 2 is because they would have been sacked an extra 20 times last year ,,, Baker avoided many many sacks last year,,,, Baker MVP next year ,,,, let’s go
March 27th, 2025 at 6:02 pm
The media has sheet all over the bus the majority of the time. If they even mention us. Who really cares? Just more fuel for baker
March 27th, 2025 at 6:32 pm
Rosenthal … “I think they would be in the inner circle of Super Bowl favorites if, like, Justin Herbert was their quarterback.”
Some of these statements by national talking heads border on the ridiculous. Justin Herbert isn’t the Bucs’ QB, and will almost surely never be the Bucs’ QB. Plus, Baker Mayfield is a lot more similar to the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts than he is to the Chargers’ Justin Herbert. And guess what, the Eagles won the Super Bowl last year with Hurts at the helm, while the Chargers got knocked out in Rnd 1 of the playoffs by the Texans 32-12. Oh and BTW, Herbert went 14-for-32 in that game. Duh.
Just as an aside, Herbert makes $52.5 mil per year to QB the Chargers. Mayfield makes $33.3 mil per year to QB the Bucs, so roughly $19 mil less. So for roughly Herbert’s ‘cost’ the Bucs got Baker Mayfield AND Mike Evans. Hmmm, wonder if we’d have to give up Mike Evans to pay for Herbert if he came here? Maybe that’s why the Chargers got knocked out in Rnd 1 of the playoffs?
March 27th, 2025 at 7:22 pm
He told no lies. He sees baker messing up in Big (playoffs) games. Turnovers or just not showing up. That’s why after this season (even tho I wanted it to happen this offseason) Jason should check behind door number two 🤷🏾♂️
March 27th, 2025 at 7:26 pm
BucDog and 813 Boi are both trolls. Their main goal seems to be trashing the best QB (possibly better than last version of Brady) the Bucs have had ever.
Maybe they want their “stiffie” dreaming of Trask?
March 27th, 2025 at 7:31 pm
I see a lot of you are going at @Bucdawg but not trying to see the truth he’s speaking. Da heck wit his stats n completion percentage. When it comes to big games Mayfield chokes. FACTS n nothing but. Divisional round in Detroit Bakers interceptions . This yr in Washington fumble. Both games where in it with momentum n it is he who causes chaos for the team. This is an ongoing trend for him and always will be. But for Buc fans who came when Brady did or even 5 yrs b4 wouldn’t understand.💯
March 27th, 2025 at 8:11 pm
You arent allowed to talk about Bakey’s negatives. The Baker Cult doesnt like that sort of thing. Only good things are to be said about the precious Baker.
March 27th, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Top 5 no top 10 yes definitely and how many times can Buc fans in their history can say that besides the GOAT era
March 27th, 2025 at 8:45 pm
The Baker cult doesn’t mind hearing about his negatives at all. It’s your stupid comments that aren’t factual the cult can’t stomach. For instance, Baker chokes in big games. He threw one interception in 2 playoff games. Oooh thats terrible, he’s a choker. He fumbled, he fumbled. Not one of you brain dead wannabe football savants have pointed to any proof it was Baker that messed up. But on the other hand you have been told adnauseum where to go to find the truth but you won’t do that. You just come on here and lie and lie some more instead of doing a little research for the truth. I am sure Baker kicked your colleges a** on his way to the heisman and being voted the best college quarterback in the 21st century. I’m sorry you chose a loser quarterback to follow and a loser college that Baker trounced but that’s your problem, get over it, it was 7 years ago. Oh how people love to throw rocks at things that shine. Consider yourselves in that category. You’re mad that Baker had the best game out of all the quarterbacks in the playoffs. Passer rating 146.5 and completion percentage of 83.3. NO ONE even came close!!! People love Jayden Daneil and said how good he did. He had the ball 48 times to Bakers 25 and Washington only won by a measly 3 points. If Baker would have had the ball as many times as Jayden the score would have been 40-23. Baker is our franchise quarterback for the next 10 years get used to it. His next check will be 6 years for $300 million. Get used to that too. All your lying doesn’t change anything because the people that gets paid to know loves Baker and that’s all that matters now isn’t it.
March 27th, 2025 at 8:57 pm
Oh yes and nothing is ever factual unless it puts Bakey in the positive light. Also. He’s simply the most perfect QB who has ever played the game. And if you have anything negative to say, even though they deny it, its simply wont ever be true in their eyes because their opinions are factual and the “haters” arent.

Yeah, the Bucs making the playoffs the last 2 years means nothing, right? If somebody was a “Choker” and a “Faker”, would they be in the playoffs?
March 27th, 2025 at 9:43 pm
There you 3 haters go Couch Fan, accusing people of things that just aren’t true but why would you change. You’ve probably been that way your whole life. When you have nothing, make it personal. Not one person said he was perfect. In fact quite the opposite. No one has ever said that Baker needs more interceptions. We’ve all said it would be nice to see him lower them. You have to be a Texas fan to make such outrageously ignorant statements that you made in that last comment. Baker tore you boys up didn’t he!! Still sore aren’t you. Baker Baker the leagues best head coach maker. As far as being the best, he actually did make it to 71.4% completion percentage faster than anyone. All the quarterbacks that went before him he is the most accurate at 7 years into his career. And you said he was inaccurate last year. Once again Baker shoots down another naysayer. Another one bites the dust. 🤣 Lmao
March 27th, 2025 at 10:03 pm
Couch Fan. Did you mean to say their opinions are based on fact? And the haters aren’t? Thats OK, you’re probably just sleepy. Or Dopey. Or something.
March 27th, 2025 at 10:35 pm
Couch Fan “he’s simply the most perfect QB who has ever played the game”.
I’m glad you brought that up. That wasn’t us saying that, that was actually ESPN saying that. Lmao again.
March 27th, 2025 at 10:55 pm
Yes, Baker throws interception sometimes and he fumbled in our playoff game (or was that McMillan’s fault???). If the pass defense was even average, we never would have been in that position.
Remember it’s a team sport, Baker more than did his part last season.
March 27th, 2025 at 11:11 pm
Gipper instead of comparing Baker Mayfield to someone like Tom Brady that started 20 years before him — try comparing him to guys of his same time.
Jared Goff 222 TDs 94 Ints 12 Rush TDs 2016
Patrick Mahomes 245 TDs 74 Ints 14 rush TDs 2017
Baker Mayfield 171 TDs 90 Ints 10 rush TDs 2018
Josh Allen 195 TDs 84 Ints 65 rush TDs 2018
Lamar Jackson 166 TDs 49 Ints 33 Rush TDs 2018
Kyler Murray 115 TDs 57 Ints 31 Rush TDs 2019
Joe Burrow 140 TDs 46 Ints 12 Rush TDs 2020
Justin Herbert 137 TDs 45 Ints 13 Rush TDs 2020
March 27th, 2025 at 11:38 pm
Looking at your work geno711 something immediately stands out. What could that be? Mahomes is the only Super Bowl winner on the list. I thought last year it was gonna be Bills and Bucs Super Bowl. But this year it may happen. And we get to watch Allen against Mayfield in the regular season!! Let’s give these guys another 5 years and we’ll see where they stand. I know Baker has thrown more touchdowns than everyone on this list over the last 2 years. Super Bowl wins is going to be the stat that matters most. The good news is we’re positioned to win some of those.
March 28th, 2025 at 12:47 am
Where do they find all these morons!?
Do they hang out behind the gym at journalism school waitng for the folks who are cutting class and tell them they don’t need to apply themslves? Just sign here.
Geez!
Go Bucs!
March 28th, 2025 at 4:29 am
I’m old enough to remember another gunslinger “hillbilly” QB that had his share of INTs. I think he might have played for Green Bay.
March 28th, 2025 at 6:09 am
Wow what a bunch of sissy guys all butt hurt on here.
That 2nd quarter stat is GLARING.
I don’t care if you are Brady or Doug Flutie, you gotta fix that.
Doesn’t put me in either camp, it’s the truth.
Brad Johnson won a SB with a QB rating of 79. 18-34 215 yds. 2TDs 1Int.
It’s not just the QB. Hurts doesn’t win without Barkley and a GREAT defense.
Bucs have the pieces.
Need a little luck and a lot of stellar play when it counts.
March 28th, 2025 at 7:33 am
Again, Mahomes won a superbowl with 14 interceptions. That’s 2 less than Bakers worst year I believe. It’s not the best situation but it obviously is no deal breaker. Mahomes has never had Bakers 146.5 PR and 83.3% so I’m sure that’s not the main issue sissys. When you can drive the ball down defenses throats and be in the red zone in 5 or 6 plays over and over again with second string and rookie receivers you aren’t the MAIN problem. The defense IS the main problem right now. That’s why licht is concentrating on getting defensive players this offseason.

=============================
Not sure what’s your point? Mayfield compares favorably to all the QB’s you mentioned. As has been noted. Mayfield has thrown for more TD passes in the last two years than ANY NFL QB. Goff has played 2 years longer and is currently playing behind the best line in the NFL.

but baker also has 31 TO’s the past 2years…the most of any other QB within that span lol…..

March 28th, 2025 at 11:27 am
Actually, 813, you ARE like the idiots that “think” he is this unbelievable quarterback going to suplant Brady as the greatest. He just happens to be lucky enough to be in the best system in the league. If Mahomes would have been all that, it would have been him that was drafted first and went to wonderful sunny Cleveland but he wasn’t was he. Baker was and that is because Baker is just as good and since he has been at Tampa he has been better and will continueto do better. You really lack in the critical thinking box my friend. You are the type that hears the news that Mahomes is the greatest and you automatically believe it. Try looking at the big picture for once. I know it’s hard but try. Actually the stats we use are the ones the NFL uses to determine how good a qb is doing and Baker was tied for SECOND in the league with his unbelievable 108.1 PR.You really do just repeat everything you hear don’t you.
March 28th, 2025 at 11:31 am
Mahomes was a lowly 95 at 16th place. Quite a bit of difference huh?? Quite a bit indeed 813
March 28th, 2025 at 11:52 am
Little prediction: if Licht and Bowles gets a defense somewhat equivalent to the offense, just somewhat, you will see who is better Mahomes or Baker. And Baker will dog Mahomes. Baker will put that little debate to rest real quick. Being in a good system matters more to a quarterback than any thing else and Mahomes has been in the best since being drafted and Baker has been in the utter worst but that has been changing for 2 years now and when Andy Reed retires things will change even more for Mahomes and it won’t be for the better. There won’t be anyone there to make sure Mahomes has HIS top 5 OL every single year. Mahomes will have to fend for himself finally.
March 28th, 2025 at 12:08 pm
TEAM DEFENSE
2024 KC-ranked #4
2023 KC-ranked #2
2024 Tampa-16
2023 Tampa-7
PASS DEFENSE
2024 KC-15
2023 KC-4
2024 Tampa- 29
2023 Tampa-29
If you notice KC won the superbowl in 2023 when their defense was ranked #4 in team defense and #2 in pass defense. That’s why they won in 2023. Not because Mahomes is the greatest qb like you think he is.
March 28th, 2025 at 12:48 pm
Baker is better than Justin Herbert.
Baker is a Top-5 NFL QB.

answer the question….
has mahomes ever lead the nfl in INTs?
you’re an idiot!!!!!…why are you bringing up the draft lol….
if baker was all that, why’d he transfer?…lol…
im sure if mahomes played for OU he wouldve went #1…
but thats besides the point….
who still plays for the team that drafted him and who has an SB ring(s)…
you can say what you want but dont forget to mention baker lead the league in INTs and has the most TOs over the past 2years!!!!!!….#FACTS
GO BUCS!!!!!!
March 28th, 2025 at 1:58 pm
813, you are utterly hopeless. You are all over the place. Like a rock in the road. It is obvious you know nothing about football.
March 28th, 2025 at 2:02 pm
813BUCBOI,
You say Baker has 31 TO’s in last 2 years. Explain to all of us what a TO is. Have never heard this term unless you are referring to Time Outs in which case most of us don’t recognize Time Outs as a QB metric.
March 28th, 2025 at 2:16 pm
813 you just proved my point that you don’t know football. The NFL passer rating takes into account interceptions and Baker is 2nd in the league with his passer rating of 108.1. So your point of Bakers interceptions is meaningless like most of your points. I bet you don’t even know how good you have to be to have a whole season at 108.1. I bet you actually think that is average.
March 28th, 2025 at 2:43 pm
Didn’t 5 X pro bowl Bucs defensive back Ronde Barber just call Baker a special special quarterback and said the Bucs were very luck to have him?
March 28th, 2025 at 2:52 pm
turn overs you idiot!!!!!!!!!!
you proved my point!!!!…you dont know football!!!!
baker INTs/TOs(turnovers) are the reason why we lost vs DET and WAS in the playoffs!!!!!
GO BUCS!!!!!!
March 28th, 2025 at 4:37 pm
Wrong for the umpteenth time 813. We lost because Dan Quinn had a superior game plan and they ran it to perfection. And it was to keep the ball out of Bakers hands. Quinn knew the ONLY way to beat Tampa Bay was to limit Bakers chances of scoring. We had the ball 43 times. Washington had it 68 times. That’s 25 chances of scoring they took from us. It is amazing we only lost by 3 points. You people saying the fumble cost us the game can’t see the forest for the trees. It’s called controlling the game and they did it to the degree that I don’t remember it ever being done. I’m sure it has been done that good but I can’t remember when. It’s also called, being out coached, pure and simple. I like Bowels but he was out coached on that Sunday.
March 28th, 2025 at 5:02 pm
For the record 813, Baker turned the ball over in interceptions and fumbles 27 times over the last 2 years and Mahomes turned it over 27 times, according to ESPN, so there’s that. Mahomes played in 2 superbowls with his 27. I’m not so sure those are that critical. They aren’t good but are they critical 🤔 I’m sure it has to do with how good your team can overcome them.

National Sports Media writers, haters, and they wonder why the newspaper industry is nearly dead. They have people similar to this writing for them. Heck, The post fired there editor along with multiple other writers. Rosenthal is a Baker basher. Need to adopt a sickness. Baker hate syndrome, because there is no sensible backing behind Greg’s comments. He is writing junk to put out there. Baker these past 2 seasons has been incredible. Hope Jason inks Baker for next 5 seasons. Hey wouldn’t it be just epic if somehow Bucs are holding that Lombardi at the end of this coming season. NFL loves dramatic storylines. Baker goes from rock bottom career is nearly over to Champ 3 seasons later and the Bucs win a ring without TB12, Bowles silences his the fans and his critics. David retires as s 2 time champ, Evans gets his 2 ring a few seasons before he hangs them up. Grizzard would be the 3rd Bucs OC to get a ln HC job lol. Jason gets whip out that box of receipts and add another ring to his resume making compelling case for maybe Canton as a GM one day??? Vita runs in the winning SB touchdown lol. I can imagine things, hey it could sll happen don’t hate out there lol. Go Bucs!!
