Josh Freeman BENCHED, Mike Glennon to Start

gryfyn1 · 09-25-13, 04:07 PM

solid move, Freeman was never going to be a top tier QB and could never handle pressure - With him being gone after this year, giving Glennon a dozen starts will allow the Bucs to know whether or not they need to address QB early in next years draft.

Worst case is Glennon bombs out an the Buc are looking at taking a QB with the 5th pick next year.

Greg Schiano is a horrible NFL coach, don't know about college because Rutgers isn't a big time program. Lou Holtz was the worst NFL coach and a great college coach they aren't directly related unlike in basketball. Buccaneers will get a new coach and all the sudden next year they will be the surprise team.

Freeman was the mediocre QB who just did enough to get by as a starter. Mike Glennon has a rocket of a arm and great mechanics, but so did Kyle Boller. Didn't see anything that stood out when he was at NC State except he didn't buckle under pressure.

How many games did Mike Glennon start in college? Wasn't he Russell Wilson's bench warmer?

Glennon played 2 full seasons and yes he was a backup to Russell Wilson. There are at least 3 bench warmers for college at QB. Got to wonder about the guys who go to a college but never get to start.

I think it's too risky to bet Tampa this week. I have never heard of a rookie QB in the NFL only playing 2 seasons of college football. Luck struggled last year and he played twice as many games as Glennon in college. Did Glennon ever play in a Bowl game?

By no means I am saying bet it, but you should just expect a guy with a rocket of a arm playing. I don't know who I should trust more Carson Palmer or a new rookie QB. You have no idea what you're going to get out of either one of them.

sanchez only started one season at usc, newton only started one season at auburn, and the list goes on

Sanchez smartest cash out in the history of the NFL. Remember Pete Carroll being pissed off at him for not staying. Guy got 5 years 50 million 28 million dollars guaranteed and on top of it got an extension. I will take the 20 million after taxes then go back to school. Instead of the rookie cap and having to play my way into the new contract.

i think it pretty fair to say i expect very little out of palmer, glennon i have no idea...

Freeman requesting to be traded wonder if any team would bite

Did Sanchez or Newton win their first starts? If not, then Cardinals is the play this week.

if the vikes lost to pitt, i will offer a 6th to the bucs and let him start fresh

I don't like to base much on preseason performances, but Glennon looked abysmal in the last preseason game against the Redskins. 7/16 for 63 yards and a pick for a 28.9 QB rating. Looked worse than the numbers. Pat White looked accurate by comparison. Seriously.

think he was below 50% for entire preseason... of coarse freeman under 50% himself, a gimp retard could complete 50% in this league,lol...

This was in the works for some time. If you do not remember, they took the captaincy away from Freeman before the season started... the TB organization is done with him.

Sharp post. Glennon ascending into the starting QB role is business as usual in Tampa.

Carseller4 · 09-29-13, 03:19 PM

If I needed a QB, I'd rather have Tebow come in than Freeman.

jjgold · 09-29-13, 03:28 PM

Tampa just loses close games all the time

I would think it could mean coaching

teaserpleaser · 09-29-13, 03:30 PM

I can save tampa some time and tell them now Glennon isn't the guy I knew he wasn't the guy at ncst hes a glennon like his sorry as brother at virgina tech hes a glennon seriously any tampa fans here think this kid is your answer at QB

pavyracer · 09-29-13, 03:32 PM

Cardinals!!

EaglesPhan36 · 09-29-13, 03:34 PM

Schiano will land some medium college gig after he gets fired this year. UConn would be right up his alley.

Cross · 09-29-13, 04:04 PM

Freeman is done it looks like!

C-Gold · 09-29-13, 04:07 PM

Glennan sucks, Freeman sucks.

Bucs have a pretty good team but they need to draft a real QB.

Freeeman is going to go on the Byran Leftwich and Jacon Campbell 1st round bust, backup black QB circuit.

He will probably be a backup QB on 3 teams within the next 4 years.

pavyracer · 09-29-13, 07:03 PM

People have no idea that the odds of a rookie QB to win a game on his first start are like 10%. And Vegas actually made the rookie QB a 3 point favorite. The linesman should be hanged in the village square.

Appears to be correct. Schiano is dead man walking. People assumed he was a genius because he is close with Belicheck. Clearly not the case at this stage in his career. People don't buy into a tough message when it isn't successful.

Freeman has a 6.5M price tag. That's the deal breaker. Bucs should sue to get some back, he's being a head case.

The kid has done nothing wrong aside from failing to meet expectations. The coach is pushing his buttons to make him look like a problem child. Tampa guaranteed him x amount of dollars and they should honor their deal. The fact that the kid sucks is irrevlevant.

Revis will find a way off this shit train as soon as possible.
