They’re acting like this man is above 400 pounds

Are the Glazers/Jason Licht seriously this weak when it comes to expelling the cancer of our organizations?

We somehow STILL have a chance to make the playoffs, and even after losing to 3 straight TRASH division opponents, we are holding onto Bowles and Grizz. This is absolutely fu**** insane.

What do we expect to change week in and out. At least let the team try to finish strong. I am fully rooting for the Dolphins and Panthers in our next games.

Does anyone even want to make the playoffs? I really don’t.

David, whitehead, winfield, gholston and dean out against the saints.

literally half of our starting Defense, so that sucks. hopefully the depth can make some plays.

FIRE ZAC ROBINSON OUT OF THE CANNONS INTO THE BAY TODAY!

Ik that’s a really bold statement but I believe in it. Evan’s going allows Mek and J Mac to get more reps and hopefully develop into our future WR 1&2, it also gives Godwin a chance to step up and become our main guy (he’s always been overshadowed by Mike). I think us Bucs fans are heartbroken for sentimental reasons, it’s horrible seeing Mike in a different journey but in the long run for our current WRs and the teams cap space I think this a good thing for us. It also might allow us to get someone like Trey Hendrickson who we may not have been able to afford if Mike resigned.

mentioned after that bengals game that fitz would fail and would have more interceptions than TD when his 2nd attempt at fitzmagic was over.

this looks like i was right and all you winston hating, fitz loving folks were totally wrong, just like your boy koetter.

TB has no QB problem except for the one the coaches created. luckily, winston would never hold a grudge and isn't built that way, but it's plenty of evidence that the coaching staff panicked and fucked up this season trying to save their asses and make it look like winston was holding THEM back.

every single person who still thinks winston is one of the top issues on the team in any shape, form or fashion is just a complete dumbass and 100% of reality/stats/whatever proves it. you've had your "other qb" experiment and he's 2-5 with a 5 game losing streak.

maybe it was never the QB to start with, like a lot of folks said.

(Yes this is how his name is spelled)

He was a second round defensive back from Mississippi State. His college career consists of 221 tackles, 16 interceptions, won the Jim Thorpe Award, and had 3 pick-6s, one of them being a 100 yarder against Tim Tebow.

I went to Mississippi State and my dad went to FSU so the combination of Banks and Jameis going to the Buccs is what originally made me a fan.

Both players had similar careers at the Buccs having 2 of best rookie seasons ever but slowly declining and becoming replaceable. Banks was started as a corner having 129 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 12 pass deflections with only starting in 35 out of 54 games.

3 of his interceptions and all 12 pass deflections came during his first year at the Buccs leading to him making the Pro-Bowl.

Eventually he was traded and rode the bench at many teams until 2020, he was arrested for domestic violence shutting down his career.

As unfortunate as his career became, he made Mississippi States defense fun to watch and had an incredible rookie season for the Buccs.

Does anyone remember him and what are your thoughts now?

Pay Baker Mayfield the money he’s earned!!! Disregard the fact that he’s an undersized scrambling quarterback that gets injured often because of it.

Pay that man even though he bails the pocket in unnecessary situations. Pay that man although he’s one of the worst downfield accuracy qb’s starting in the league for years, and average intermediate accuracy at best. Don’t let him get rattled tho, cuz then he won’t be able to hit a check down!

Pay that man because he had one outlier season coordinated by one of the most prolific OC’s in the league, was protected by a top 3 run game, and still led the league in interceptions! Pay that man cuz our pass catchers were 2nd in the league in YAC

Pay that man cuz he outperformed his bridge contract in 2023, yet was very up and down that season and showed to be a middling qb. Hey, but he got hot against a collapsing Eagles team in the wildcard round!

Pay that man! Because he has moxie, he’s a dawg, he’s got grit. He’s probably not a top 15 guy and will never take us to a conference championship game or further, but we have to pay him like he’s capable of it just because!!!

Pay Baker Mayfield y’all. Well here we are

Bring on the AGUA,YO!"

Ill see myself out....

but seriously... as a non Buc's fan, i'd make and wear this as a t-shirt.

Looking past his low snap count % (44% snaps played in 14 games last year) and long injury history, Amendola is still a solid slot receiver today who can catch everything thrown his way. He caught 68% of the passes thrown his way over the last 4 seasons with Brady, Tannehill & Stafford throwing to him (For comparison, Keenan Allen's Ctch % over the same period is 69% (Noice)).

Four things that stand out about Danny recently that make him underrated:

1. He's a Reliable Target in the Regular Season: On 245 targets the previous 3 seasons (MIA & Detroit), He's only dropped 6 passes. On top of that, QB's have had an 80 QBR when targeting him.

2. He's overcome the Injury Issues that plagued him earlier in his Career: He's appeared in 59 out of 65 eligible games played the last 3 seasons and has caught over 90 first downs during that time.

3. We're playing 4 teams that were in the Top 10 defenses in Completion % allowed last season: It's easy to sit back and say we have all the offensive pieces we have (after adding Bernard). But the Saints, WFT, Dolphins, & the Rams will all play us tough and have us circled on their schedule. Last season we all watched that game at Metlife vs Giants almost slip away from us without Godwin. If we lose Godwin to injury, Amendola can step right in. Amendola doesn’t play more than 50% of snaps in any given game, which allows younger guys like Scotty Miller to still see a high enough target share as one of the better deep threat on the Bucs. How many of yall expect Evans/Godwin to play all 17 games this season healthy.

4. Most Importantly! He's A VERY reliable target in the Post-Season: His last post-season
   run in New England in 2017, Danny caught over 78% of his passes while snagging 18 first
   downs over 3 games. The man picked apart the eagles during the SB that year (150 yards).
   There's few others I'd want catching passes in another tough divisional round game from
   Tom than a guy he played 5 years with and can still challenge someone's 3rd CB.

Dear Jason Licht, there's no way in hell you'll ever read this, but sign this man and don't waste a draft pick on a WR that Tom & Byron have to coach up! Go Bucs

Not sure what to say about Baker anymore. I’m happy to potentially see another Jalon game this upcoming week. He’s not exactly some godsend QB to save our season, but Baker isn’t playing like any of us hoped.

I honestly feel Mike Glennon is our future. I agree that he isn't quite "there" yet. However, his performance against the Skins was stellar EVEN IF their defense is shit. I feel that with time he will become a rich man's Andy Dalton, and for us that is more than enough. So my question is, do you feel the same? If not, why? Unofficial

Jameis Winston will probably be our QB in 2020. He shouldn't be.

We drafted Winston to be the face of our franchise and to make us contenders. And after 5 years of him playing for us, we have as many playoff appearances as we did the 5 years before we drafted him. He throws for a lot of yards, throws for a lot of touchdowns, but none of the matters when you are giving the ball to the other team at the historical rate he is (7 of which were pick-sixes).

He won't change his game. He was turnover prone in college, and everyone claims he'll fix his turnovers (as if not throwing picks is a singular thing that can be reduced while no other aspect of his game changes) when it's gotten even worse than it ever has in his fifth year here. Even if he cut his turnovers in half, he'd have a season like Blake Bortles did in 2015 (35/18) and he at least had a playoff appearance before he was extended.

If we give Jameis money and siphon funds from a deserving defensive line next year, so be it. But as long as he is our quarterback, we'll be mediocre at BEST, and far worse otherwise. I know how it feels to want a franchise QB after so many years of not having one, but we don't need to blindly settle for this.

What should be done eventually must be done immediately. It's time.

Baker is a personality that always needs that carrot in front of his face that is just out of reach. Since he was a teen he's been "doubted" (a lot of it perceived) and it fuels him to stay locked in.

If Baker knew every pass was a referendum on next year's contract number, he'd be laser sharp right now.

When Baker gets the praise and recognition, gets fed the carrot, he relaxes just a bit. Becomes a bit sloppier, let's up. After he won the Heisman and was 1st overall pick, the Browns had issues with him not getting to practice on time. When Baker had a great rookie year and was the darling of Cleveland, he would get wildly out of shape in the off-season and famously refuse off season coaching.

When Bakers career was on the line he locked back in worked his ass off and hired a coach and got in great shape and saved himself in the league.

Now he's back to comfortable and all the signs of relaxed Baker is coming right back like his younger days.

Buccaneers draft their lavonte david successor, take someone who can compete for a starting guard spot, add more to their pass rush rotation, and get an adult in the QB room in case Baker gets hurt again.
