My take so far...

Leftwich looks horribly inconsistent. He’s overthrown practically everyone. That one throw to Winslow sailed about 15 feet over his head. The only person he’s actually thrown good passes to has been Stovall (and speaking of Stovall, I hope he plays like this every week. Great performance so far out of him. He might finally be stepping up). The only ball that looked like the receiver’s fault was the one thrown to Hankton that was, wait for it… HIGH, but still a catchable ball.

Decent running so far, Caddy looked especially good out there. He nearly broke that one long run for a TD, just a good open field tackle, or else that’s 6.

Defense has also looked great. The D-line’s been getting good pressure (with a couple of exceptions) and everyone’s been making great plays against the run. One notable absence: Ruud… where’s he at? I know he’s been on the field, but I haven’t seen him around the ball yet.

Stroughter should play the slot. No question. Any 3 receiver sets, he’d better be in there, and in the slot. He’s been head and shoulders above Clark this week and last. Stovall’s gotta be in the mix, and (assuming this performance continues) should take one of the spots behind Bryant or Clayton.

by OfficerRodFarva on Aug 27, 2009 9:13 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Ruud has been invisible

And so has gaines. Caddy has been good, consistent. Ward hasn’t done much but if doesn’t look like the ol has helped him much. Want to see more ou of winslow.

Leftwich has been up and down bug has delivered some good passes

Nice job McClown, way to not even put up a fight.

0 for 4 , 3 sacks, an intentional grounding, a missed reciever in stroughter wide open, and 0 yards. Nice job stepping in there and proving who the better QB has been all along. I can’t respect a guy who just lays down and doesn’t put up any fight. Atleast go out like a gun slinger. You can say that the O line didn’t block but they did, if you are a leader, those guys will block for you. Those guys have no respect for McClown.

Leftwich- missed about 3 or 4 easy throws but he moved the offense and showed leadership, he made those lineman block for him. It was rainy out there, no excuse but 9 for 17, 100 yards and 2 field goals and about 3 or 4 big 3rd down conversions. Way to step up stovall and stroughter looked good in the first half too.

They know he isn’t going deep so they are going to just blitz blitz blitz. They have absolutely NO RESPECT for McClown and neither do I. Anytime a player gets blitz almost ever play they have no respect. Things are just freakin fallin apart. If he would stay in the pocket he could get more protection. he keeps rolling out.

Morris

is creating competition for Freeman while not giving him a giant ego and will name him the starter against the CBoys. McCown and Lefty show no promise.

After the draft I was VERY against this

And I still would rather he sit but after seeing the other two, maybe it’s not the worst idea

I think leftwich looked best, but was not spectacular

kyle moore is looking good

He has provided nice pressure on the QB’s , i really like this guy klye arrington, he is always around the ball. That should have been a pick tho

Kyle Moore and Roy miller

Were excellent pickups and are playing great

I would say morris is doing a good job

He decided to extend the qb battle one more week and we came out with a clear cut winnner, he drafted stroughter, miller and moore who all are looking good. I would say a nice start to things. Lets see what freeman brings

by tbbuc4 on Aug 27, 2009 11:26 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

because they're trying to evaluate their QBs

if this were a regular season game, they’d be pounding it up the middle all game long.

Does anyone wanna be or qb?

Give jj a chance at this rate

time to try JJ?

Freeman looks like he still needs work, he stares down his receiver and hasn’t managed to do much while in.

Lets see what jj has, time is running out. maybe he can put a stamp on us cutting or trading mcCown before the final pre-season game

McCown's pissed

Another year on the bench

by Danny180 on Aug 27, 2009 11:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

haha, he is def pissed.

I told every blogger on here that he wasn’t ready but everyone is talkin about his athleticism. His athleticism got him sacked 3 times and an intentional grounding. Not to athletic . You haveto be smart in the NFL , not athletic.

Another year on the bench is true but it won’t be tampa bay bench, especially if JJ comes in and ties the game because dolphins gonna get a field goal.

I want JJ to have a chance

but lets be honest, he was never given a shot coming in. He saw 4th quarter action every game. Not enough to make any decisions on

I admire your equity

but jj is 150Ibs soaking wet, holding a brick, with sand bags taped to his legs. He was a reach from a slack division II team. He won’t have a chance with us.

yes we are

10 to 6, we are still in this game with 5 mins to go, that is tampa bay football baby. LOOKS GOOD!!!!

Johnson must be really unimpressive in practice

Else I have to think that Raheem would play him

QB Situation

Here’s my question: what is the difference between Leftwich, Garcia, and Griese? All retreads. I thought we were supposed to be going in a different direction. This is the same decision Gruden would make: promise a QB competition, bring in a lousy retread, give him every advantage, and act like he won.

by bucsfandave on Aug 27, 2009 11:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

nice pass freeman

he is starting to look good.

by tbbuc4 on Aug 27, 2009 11:49 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

but we’re not in that situation this year, we have to play the cards Morris dealt us

by Danny180 on Aug 27, 2009 11:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

lets not ignore the fact

the young guy was moving us until the penalty. The penalties have killed us. we gave up 80 yards on penalties. The guy looked good until the false start. The Young guy is going to have time to sit and learn. He should get one more opportunity to prove himself.

by tbbuc4 on Aug 27, 2009 11:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He wasnt a second round pick .

He was a first round pick. First round picks should make impact. He is not gonna be a franchise guy. He wasnt even a great college player. And what about this offense is sposed to run run and run. to me we have been pass crazy

by bigkris9 on Aug 27, 2009 11:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Its preaseason

Raheem has 3-4 QBs to evaluate. Caddy, D-Ward, and Earnest all got their work in during the first half, and managed not to get hurt. Someone in charge thinks that Raheem knows what hes doing so let’s just let it ride for awhile

by El Soro on Aug 28, 2009 12:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Disappointed

Wow, I thought they were supposed to get an even playing field for the “final exam” of this qb competition. Looked to me like Leftwich was annointed the starter by his boy Raheem. I know that everyone thinks Leftwich won tonight, but McCown did a good job shifting field position when they were backed up at the goal line. I can’t help but think McCown could grown with experience and Leftwich has 40+ games in the NFL showing exactly what he is.

by bucsfandave on Aug 27, 2009 11:53 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

LEVEL PLAYING FIELD

Leftwich started because he has been doing it in OTA’s , training camp, mini camp and the pre-season. He has been clearly the best qb the bucs have had this year so far. Don’t try to bring ya bs excuses. He got in there and stunk. He didn’t even attempt throws the first half. If you know you gonna get sacked. atleast throw the ball in someones direction. He just held on and got sacked. How dumb. The bucs are trying to win now and you just admitted that leftwich gives them the best chance to win now. He has the experience and he flat out outplayed luke. He missed a couple of throws but then again he made a couple of throws too.

meh.

well, that was an all around depressing game.

by OfficerRodFarva on Aug 28, 2009 12:01 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

final thoughts.

the run game worked. i can only imagine they’ll go much harder with that once the season starts.

finding someone to trade for McCown or JJ might be tough after mccown sucked and JJ didn’t even get on the field. should be interesting.

by OfficerRodFarva on Aug 28, 2009 12:03 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Please stop hating on Morris, Leftwich and Freeman

Leftwich got the bucs their only 6 pts, he moved the offense, but he missed a few throws. He will get getter with practice and when clayton and AB get healthy. Morris drafted other guys besides freeman, 3 GUYS stepped up big tonight in Miller, Kyle moore and stroughter.

by tbbuc4 on Aug 28, 2009 12:05 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

get better with practice?

he has been getting practice since jacksonville. Leftwich is not no young cat.
