Here is a clip from a soon-to-be broadcast BSPN interview with Bucs franchise quarterback Josh Freeman.

Even here….Freeman appears weak and wishy-washy…..there is no fire there and there hasn’t been for a long time. He appears emasculated. Its best he move on. Hopefully we will get something for him.
September 27th, 2013 at 7:34 am
^^^HUH!
September 27th, 2013 at 7:35 am
The HUH was for tonytwocents’ vile diatribe
September 27th, 2013 at 7:36 am
Since when did Bucs fans begin to spout off like a bunch of Raiders? Good god kids stay in school!
September 27th, 2013 at 7:41 am
If I shut my eyes, I thought he comes across and sounds a little like Ricky Williams.
September 27th, 2013 at 7:48 am
Really disappointed that Josh didn’t work out. I wanted our never ending search for a franchise QB to be over. Excited to be in the stands this weekend to see how the Mike Glennon era starts but he was only a 3rd rounder so my expectations are tempered. I really really liked Schiano but my faith is starting to slide a bit. Hope we aren’t in the market for a coach soon also. Would have to go through a rebuild of our rebuild.

@ Rachels Thong.
Confidence in the HC/Sully is waning, as it should be.
Confidence in Glennon by the Offence, (no typo), remains to seen.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:08 am
Indecisive, poor eye contact
September 27th, 2013 at 8:09 am
Good God!
Joe, you’re going to have to become a disciplinarian equivalent to a substitute in special ed class. Is this middle school?
These comments are a riot.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:10 am
No fire, even now. This dude just wants to cash checks, drive a lambo and party…. As some “buc official” told BSPN. Josh has a lot of growing up to do.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:12 am
Josh needs to go back to speech class, himself.
Is anybody of right mind going to miss him after this sh1t-show?
Grow up, Freeman.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:20 am
The man wasn’t signed to be on a debating team.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:35 am
I’m not dismissing his inconsistent play at times, but he still a 6’5″ 235lb QB with some mobility and a cannon for an arm. It takes a smart coaching staff to adapt to his abilities and he will do very well. Too often coaches try to fit the player into the system, rather than fit the system to the player.
Read into that however you want.
He will be successful.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:35 am
@ Rachel Watson’s Thong
I, too am very dissappointed with Freeman…and I’m not one to blame coaching for his lack of fire. I think Schiano is fine…you can tell by the way the defense is playing with intensity.
The Jury is still out on Sullivan…I’m not sure he’s that good. I don’t like our offensive scheme….no two back sets, dempasizing the TE….
One thing good for Glennon…the expectations aren’t high and Freeman’s performance was so poor it won’t be hard for him to proove to be better.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:36 am
Brady,cousins,Wilson,Farve,Romo,etc all were not first round picks.so i think if Glennon can ball out it dont matter.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:44 am
Can anybody answer me this question?
Have we ever had a quarterback make it to his second contract? A buddy told me that this morning and I was floored.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:45 am
3rd rounder, the Jags….
September 27th, 2013 at 8:45 am
Josh is burned out.
Too much alchohol. Not enough sleep. Too many nights out.
Not enough days studying defensive coverages.
Josh was given the franchise.
And he blew it!
Now, hes still blaming other people?
What a spoiled biatch!
September 27th, 2013 at 8:46 am
I wanted Freeman to workout. But this guy drives me crazy with his decision making. The one time he actually listened and got help with his game is when he worked out with Drew Brees and had a stellar season. Since then nope. He has a I can do it my way attitude.
I’m sure he is loving all this attention he is getting now, he’s always thought he deserved more cause he felt he was at the level of Manning, Brady, Brees.
Hopefully Glennon turns out to be another good NC State QB (the noles will get their revenge soon). The kid might look goofy, but he can sling the rock.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:47 am
Freeman just seems inept and idiotic in this conversation. I can’t honestly believe anyone had his back in the lockeroom or how he showed any leadership activities to be a captain. There is no drive. No fire. Nothing.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:49 am
I don’t think he’s being indecisive, I think he’s choosing his words carefully so as not to shed a bad light on the Bucs and come across as a bitter crybaby. Any team that is interested in him will be watching his every move, so he’s smart to keep it measured. Anyway, best of luck to him. He’ll probably be rocking Viking purple and giving gifts to NFC North defenders soon.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:49 am
Remember a few years ago. Alex smith was about to get benched and Carr was set to go in. Alex smith gave him a hand to the chest over and said he got this. Overruled the coaches decision bc the players had his back. We’re not seeing this. People want to say schiano is losing the lockeroom. I think it’s josh is the one who lost the lockeroom. When you have a players only meeting without your qb. It’s obvious.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:51 am
Jaguars should be calling – We could get a 2nd or 3rd rounder DEPENDING on how much of his current salary the Bucs are willing to eat to help Jaxonville out….Freeman, MJD, and Blackmon are a good start for them.
Schiano didn’t want Freeman, it’s obvious – so I wish him well wherever he lands. He won’t be here next year, of course. Perfect QB, no; misused, yes.
September 27th, 2013 at 8:55 am
It was a lot of blaming towards Schiano right? He made it seem like it was Freeman versus Schiano…..when the owners, GM, bottom of barrel QB stats, and most of all WINNING GAMES didn’t play a part in the decision. Maybe in the rest of the interview he actually takes responsibility for something.
What are we hoping for here, Ponder and Cassel to be totally awful and complete 44% of their passes? That way Freeman would be a slight upgrade for them.
Bring on Napolean Dynamite / Brontosaurus Glennon
September 27th, 2013 at 9:01 am
Unless in the full conversation he does, but anyone else notice in this excerpt NOT ONE TIME does he mention his piss poor play that led to his benching in the first place? No accountability and he comes off like a whiny little diva. As a former Freeman supporter, don’t let the door knob hit cha where the good Lord split cha. If every team(wisely) stays away from a trade for him, I can see him getting Keyshawned or the hocky healthy scratch for the rest of the season. Even Sanchez didn’t have a sitdown national tv interview voicing his displeasure over their QB situation.
September 27th, 2013 at 9:11 am
@ Neil,
Sorry, your comment hadn’t showed up yet when I posted, but I see you also noticed his complete lack of taking ownership of his own performance (albeit in an excerpt of the full interview).
September 27th, 2013 at 9:24 am
Bucfanjeff, you’re out of your mind if you think we’re getting anything better than a 6 or 7 from anyone from Freeman. I’d wager that we don’t get anything, and the Bucs just let him walk.
September 27th, 2013 at 9:35 am
Freeman lost the locker room. They saw Glennon, the rookie backup, putting in twice as much work as the starter playing for a huge contract. That told them all they needed to know.
September 27th, 2013 at 9:44 am
Is his dad still his agent? Sometimes nepotism does not produce the best guidance.
September 27th, 2013 at 9:54 am
Love the Free jock sniffing Eric! Debating team? Too funny!
After watching this video, if there are any doubts left in this guys ability to lead men, you will never understand the game of football. It’s the NFL folks, where Alpha male behavior reigns supreme.
Furthermore, if anyone thinks this benching decision is all on Schiano, Shady Oaks Rehab and Wellness Center is on line 1 for you. The owners need to shore up their investment. The HC and QB will always be the lightening rod for losing and our HC owns no small measure of blame here. Try and remember that he’s not Field Marshall Josh tossing the rock though.
I went on the Panthers board recently where some of the Kitty faithful were disappointed that Freebird was benched. Telling from the guys who hate you most.
September 27th, 2013 at 9:55 am
He really has a Douchebag air to him in this interview. Good riddance.
September 27th, 2013 at 9:55 am
I was Josh’s biggest fan until this year.
I was cursed to go to Berkeley Prep in South Tampa.
So, I went to school with Dungys kids back in the day.
And my friends still go out in the rich south tampa world.
And everybody knows,
Josh is a partier!
End of story! We need an obsessive QB like Brees, Manning, Brady or Wilson.
Sanchez and Josh are the same person. Playboys!
September 27th, 2013 at 9:57 am
I like how people are saying Schiano didn’t want him and never endorsed him and he wasn’t ever Schiano’s guy like Schiano WANTED him to fail or enjoyed us losing the last 8 of 9 games just to prove a point. What a bunch of hogwash. Schiano wants to win no matter what.
@tampamac, how can you be stunned he didn’t answer a lot of questions we all have in the one minute excert. Your comment is just ridiculous b/c it’s obvious we’ve only seen 5% of the actual interview.
I hate that Freeman ended up being a turd. I like the guy and wish him well. I do see us getting something for Freeman b/c the rockstar is a specialist at squeezing blood from our castaway turnips.
Work your magic, Mark Dominick!!!!

Yep. I agree.
However….he’s only 24, right? He may make comeback at some point.
Don’t forget Young, Williams and Dilfer.
September 27th, 2013 at 10:42 am
If Josh would be willing to restructure his contract or sign a new contract, and I were a GM, I would sign him in a New York second.
Just the thought that there is a history of exBuc QB’s who have gone on elsewhere and had great careers is enough for me to take out a flier on him.
Let’s say Minnesota does pick Josh up. They are already built for the playoffs but are saddled with a QB who is arguably worst than Josh. It would be ironic if Josh led any team to a playoff appearance while we’re still perpetually chasing our tail.
September 27th, 2013 at 10:53 am
It would not be ironic. It would be a great thing for Josh if he left and won a super bowl. Good for him if that happens. But… who really gives a dam except the Freemanites who will follow his every move?
Bottom line is, he sucks for us. And thats all that really matters. Move on. Josh is the past.
September 27th, 2013 at 10:57 am
^^^sure it would slug
September 27th, 2013 at 11:06 am
Of course Josh can leave and win a Super Bowl. I mean Jason Garret won 2 Super Bowls as a backup, Josh can win 2 or 3 doing the same.
September 27th, 2013 at 11:06 am
Oh boy. Good luck glennon. Dont get sacked dont throw picks anticipate coverages n throw where only ur wr can make a play but make sure he knows where ur throwing before u throw. Its that easy man
September 27th, 2013 at 11:17 am
Keep crying for us Rbell
We just love it when you cry “Slug”
September 27th, 2013 at 12:07 pm
Ron and Ian pegged it perfectly: where’s the taking of responsibility? Where’s, “I need to improve?” “I need to get better?” He makes it sound like he’s done everything he can and it just didn’t work out.
September 27th, 2013 at 1:44 pm
I find the posts that keep appearing about MG being a 3rd round pick narrow-minded… Think about it, JF was a 1st round and failed… So was Jamarcus Russell, Jason Campbell, Joey Harrington, Brady Quinn, Mark Sanchez, and the list of 1st round failures goes on and on…
Their are many 2nd, 3rd, 4th and other late round QBs that have success in the NFL so NFL history has ALREADY proven what round a player is taken in matters VERY little as to how his career will go! Tom Brady, thought to be 1 of the best QBs today, 6th round…. So by your logic, Brady should have never seen the field.
September 29th, 2013 at 8:32 am
@Tye, Well said.
