I know you guys prefer losers (Luke McCown, 1-6 career record) in Tampa instead of winners (Byron Leftwich, 24-20 record as a starter), but you should be happy with Leftwich. He’s one of the top 15 starting QBs in the NFL. very strong arm, leader, plays hurt, winner. Leftwich has been criticized for having a very long throwing motion, which combined with his inability to run much hurts him at a time when mobility is increasingly important for NFL quarterbacks. He has a career passer rating of 80.3, and a touchdown to interception ratio of 54-38. Solid but not spectacular numbers. But what about being a winner? Doesn’t production matter? Leftwich was 24-20 as a starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Has the NFL changed that much since Leftwich had his best season and led the Jaguars to a 12-4 record in 2005? Everybody acted as if when Jags coach Jack Del Rio replaced Leftwich with Garrard two years ago, that it was a no-brainer. Not only was it not a no-brainer, it was the wrong decision.

boo hoo poor luke,poor jeff garica wich proved as a starter in philly and san fran but he did not work here ,poor gresie who got replaced by rex grossman,enough said bout him twice get rid of already, then alright little bruce lets give him a chance,o simms we loved u so much u were great with babys, in the end the were little bitches that did not work out mccown has not worked out, no matter what coach no matter what QB they got to be good here off rip or it does not happen king first away game 45-0 oakland Brad Johnson is the only good QB we have ever had that worked out for us leftwich can and will be that guy lukes a bitch and again way then u tell me 15 better Quarterbacks with winning records o btw an old fred taylor does not equal a young jones-drew

just because we say luke mccown is a starter he would be 3rd string on any other NFL team forget giving him his shot he had it

McNabb
Cassel
Hasselbeck
Pennington
Rodgers
Schaub
Ryan
Cutler
really what makes them better than leftwich superbowls,pass completion,or the tape i’ve seen on all these guys-or because there winners no what have they won i never saw Mccown there

shaub,and pennington are not better than leftwich! no way! is leftwich a top 15 Qb in my view yes. hes a PROVEN,SKILLED HARD NOSED Qb with a an explosive arm on the jags he had a weak offensive line with mediocre recievers at best. i would trade j.j. and have mcown be the backup. leftwich will be your starter guarenteed!

The offense just wont be able to rely on him making a ton of plays. This should be a run it down your throat offense that will allow recievers like Bryant and Winslow to get open for big plays in the passing game. This isn’t Gruden’s system anymore, the run is REALLY number one and will not be abandoned. Luke is an athletic guy with a big arm and this system is pretty simple. Not saying the guy is going to be a pro-bowler but This team will go as far as Earnest Graham, Derrick Ward and this offensive line will take them. And whoever plays quarterback should be suffice to manage the game.

bruce gradowski is the future of the bucs , thats what i dont want to happen with jj or luke
u eather got it here or u don’t and forget all this future stuff we need someone now,give us back our 99defense and luke or jj could get a shot but we need to be strong on at least one side of the ball maybe i got a little crazy about leftwich,im really scared about this season
