Bucs not planning to extend Josh Freeman
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...mans-contract/
According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs won’t be extending Freeman’s contract, which expires after the 2013 season. And as Stroud explains it, the decision not to sign Freeman to a new deal could be part of a plan by coach Greg Schiano, who inherited Freeman, to get his own quarterback. And Freeman may change Schiano’s mind only by playing so well this season that Freeman leaves the Bucs with no other option than to use the franchise tag or sign him to a long-term deal. One possibility would be to apply the non-exclusive tag and to see if anyone is willing to sign Freeman to an offer sheet and give up a pair of first-round picks. That would enable the Bucs to pull a reverse Keyshawn, giving up a player and getting two first-round picks 14 years after they gave up two first-round picks to get Keyshawn Johnson from the Jets. The Bucs likely would settle for less, since the alternative will be to let Freeman walk away. |

I am well aware of where he is from. Let me retort. Our own drafted qb.

The whole "I just want our own drafted quarterback" is understandable. I feel the same way. But in the end, I don't care where the guy comes from, just want a successful franchise QB.

RunKC thinks he's being a hero by "exploring all options" rather than being confident in a particular prospect.
That's like a business school graduate exploring all career options by applying for jobs as a shitscraper and rodeo clown. **** Freeman. **** Alex Smith. **** RunKC. DRAFT. A. QB. |

The draft. I don't care where the QB comes from either, but while we're searching for our guy, it makes zero sense to invest at all in other teams' backups and free agents. Why? Because the success rate is so goddamn low. Trying to find your franchise QB from a backup is like trying to find a franchise QB in the 5th round and beyond. Why not try the EASIEST way to get a franchise QB? Hell, not just why not. Why the **** would you try any other method? |

Why the hell would we trade our first overall first round pick (first time in franchise history we've held the top spot) for tampas 14th pick and Josh Freeman? NO MORE RETREADS!!! Its time that this team draft a goddamned QB that we can finally call our own.

I'm ****ing tired of dipshits pooh-poohing all the QB prospects. My criticisms and reservations about Geno are well-known. I still think he's going to be a great QB in the NFL, especially if a coach like Reid takes him. Wanna talk football, or do you just want to sit around like a ****tard and "contemplate" a bunch of bullshit options? We should apparently consider the Freeman trade, or Alex Smith or Matt Flynn or all this other garbage according to you. It's like you have zero grasp of trends or history. |

I mean, you shit all over all the prospects, then tote Freeman? Really? A guy who's had four years in the league and hasn't improved?

Get off this Josh Freeman bullshit. You're not being intellectually honest by riding the line on all the shitty options. You're just being an asshole. |
