Buccaneers Need to Adjust
The Bucs have brought in a lot of new talent this season as well as a shiny new coach. But that coach is starting to rub me the wrong way, and by starting to I really mean continuing too. I understand wanting to use tools you're used to but this is starting to get silly. Starting Mccown is asinine starting Mccown is not the answer, he never has been and honestly, he's just this season Matt Flynn. The only difference being the Bucs and the Seahawks is the Bucs are scared to bench Mccown after spending their money, unlike the Seahawks did with Wilson.
Now let me start off by saying Glennon is not, I repeat is NOT Russell Wilson, but Glennon IS better than Mccown, most of the starting quarterbacks in the league are. Glennon showed us last season that he's legitimate, and more importantly Glennon showed us improvement last season. That means he's learning, he's growing and Glennon has always been a prospect that has a lot of talent and a high ceiling that he was growing into that ceiling. BUCS! PLEASE DON'T WASTE HIS TALENT!
Just because a QB with two pro bowl wide receivers and a good offensive line performs well during a few games, does not mean he can perform on a consistent basis. Teams in the NFL learn, teams adapt, and teams will adjust to handle a lesser, back-up level quarterback overtime. That's what's currently happening. The Bucs staff needs to understand this, cut their losses by benching Mccown and start their starting caliber quarterback.
The Buccaneers have a really talented team, both on offense and especially defense. But the team is not currently being utilized to it's fullest potential, and as some one who evaluates teams and talent this irks me. By having Glennon lead the team, the buccaneers would have a shot a the playoffs in my opinion or at the very least find out that both their QB's are garbage, so they can adopt an appropriate drafting strategy.
With this all being said the Bucs offensive line needs to step it up because they're playing like Trash. They have potential, most of them do at least, so they need to calm down and use it. That being said they've performed worst in run blocking. I believe having Glennon at the helm would improve their pass blocking and as a result their run blocking, as the majority of them have performed well with Glennon in the past.
Lastly when Doug Martin gets healthy and returns to the field, he needs to perform. Between his recent showings and his injury's he's starting to look a little like a bust even after a solid first season. I can't honestly expect the world of the buccaneers when their run game has just been as poor as can being. Which is an issue that stems from injurys, a lack of drive, blocking, and shoddy Quarterback play, the majority of which I believe Gleenon would be able to assist in.
So Bucs, want to win this year? Start Glennon. Unless you enjoy mediocrity. If so, carry on you brave scrubs.
