NFL Week 3

Had a feeling the Bucs would have trouble this year when they couldn't do anything with two early home games with Newton-less Carolina and St. Louis. Going to get ugly quickly for Tampa.

 

Making a career backup your starting QB is generally a bad idea (Jake Delhomme notwithstanding).

Sorry CNN, the St Louis Cardinals are more of a drunk driving type of organization

Wish we had dat McNown guy back on da Bears instead of that bum Cutler

[UMFan83]

Meanwhile Hester has already forced and recovered a fumble today as well as a 20 yard TD rush tonight

Hey do you guys remember when people thought McCown was a starting QB?

Breaks my heart. I really like him. :( :( :(

Still got Mike Glennon who lost his starting job the day McCown was signed.

 

Josh McCown 2004 is his #1 comparable on football outsiders http://www.footballoutsiders.com/player/39342/mike-glennon

Having 2 #1 WRs can make you look pretty good. Problem is, most teams don't have 2 #1 WRs.

His receivers now are nothing to sneeze at.

I thought the McCown signing was a very good one when it was first announced - figured he'd be a quality backup for Glennon and would be able to help him develop.

 

Then they announced McCown as the starter and I realized things weren't going to go well.

Jackson is good, but not close to Marshall and only maybe comparable to Jeffrey. Evans is a nice rookie, but was successful in college because he was bigger than everybody else. That's not the case now.

 

I don't mean to talk either down - I like both. They're just not the Marshall/Alshon combo.

yeah, tampa's giant receivers recreating last year's bears situation was a big part of the selling point for why mccown was not a disastrous idea.

[sneakypower]

benching a guy for a fumble is such a dumb, meatball move; you felt this guy was your best option at the start of the game

Especially for multiple series. Lovie is meatball defined.

Congrats Devin!

[JonJayCutler]

HESTER. Well deserved.

 

HOF please.

[KaiserCesar]

Great to see. Plus he gets his first rushing TD on the same day.

I just don't think they're as talented as the Bears' duo. Maybe I'm being too harsh, though.

[Soul]

Ohhhh Lovie Lovie Lovie...

I think most everyone would take Marshall and Jeffrey.

[kujay]

Congrats to Hester. Too bad it couldn't have happened as a Bear.

[UMFan83]

I understand why we didn't resign Hester but it's sad to see him doing his thing while our return game is in shambles. Also surprised Trestman couldn't find a way to work him into the offense.

 

To be honest I thought he was just done as a game changing player

[Smack]

McCown out for the game. If Glennon does anything McCown may be done as a starter. Poor guy.

He was welcome back in CHI as a solid backup, right?

 

Yeah I feel a little bad for him. But not too much.

what a terrible football team
