Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon has been benched in favor of Josh McCown who will start in Week 10 vs. the Falcons
Lovie Smith: Tanking, trying to get fired, or just this stupid?

It is disappointing. But the key is the lack of O-line in Tampa. IF and I get its IF, Glennon is the future, do you really want him beat to death? Hopefully Sims comes in, pairs with Rainey and Running game goes, Evans continues to improve, VJax starts up and the offense moves forward.

That's funny timing. McClown gets absolutely massacred in prime time by ATL and makes it back to healthy starter status to play them his first game back

Something smells about this whole TB situation to me.
Doug Martin did lose his ability over night. Vincent Jackson did not forget how to play football during the off season. Both were solid players under Schiano and Glennon showed poise and promise.
In steps Lovie and suddenly these guy are not just having off seasons, they are unstartable in fantasy.
Meantime, Mike Evans (rookie) is posting good scores and Charles Sims (rookie) is being hyped as a "thing" without ever touching an NFL football.
It reeks of selfish pettiness on the part of Lovie.
Yeah, my comment seems conspiratorial but I've been sensitive to this notion ever since Smith started recruiting Bears 2nd stringers.

No, you have a point. I would add though, with new coaches comes new Offensive schemes and new O-line blocking schemes. Some players don't adjust or can't adjust to those changes. Not sure that is the issue here, but we have seen it alot.
