I'm so freaking afraid... We're really going to be cutting Josh Johnson, aren't we?
Be Afraid Runnik. Thats whats going to happen.
And we arent laughing at you guys. Granted we are going to have fun with it, but I think we are all for the most part as caught off guard as you are.
Yep i agree. I have to have fun with the thought that TB is entertaining the thought of keeping Byron over Josh and making Byron the starter on opening day. I have had to endure the pain of watching this guy in real games and it isn't pretty. You can ask any Jag or Steeler fan and they will tell you the same thing, Lefty sucks.
We are no strangers to bad QBs, and to a point, I can endure that, but choosing Leftwich and dropping Johnson would have to be the wost QB decision we have ever made. We finally have a good guy coming up, and Morris wants to get back to Buc Ball.
:banghead:
Just read an article on the ESPN rumor page on this. They stated that if Chucky were still coach...the starter was going to be Johnson. But they don't think they can get value for him..due to lack of experience.NFL.com's Jason La Canfora reports that the Bucs are gauging interest in three of their quarterbacks -- Luke McCown, Byron Leftwich, and Josh Johnson -- after electing not to name a starter this week.
It sounds like they would like to deal one away and which one it is doesn't matter much. I have to wonder if any of them command any real value as time may send one of them to waviers where they can be picked up for free.
Is the rookie getting any reps?
If Byron doesn't completely step on his johnson tonight, he's your week 1 starter and McCown gets actively shopped.
Oakland is one of a few teams rumored to be interested in McCown should he lose this battle.
