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. |

What? You want all the worms to die in KC too? All McNabb ever did was throw the ball into the ground at the receivers feet. With Reid grooming Freeman we may have the next A.Rodgers

Reid developed Favre and McNabb into Hall of Famers. He could easily turn Freeman into a top 10 quarterback.

Best quarterback in Philly's history. 10+ years of sustained success. And he did it all with slop at wide receiver except for the one year with Owens. Take a look at his stats sometime and get educated.

Not ultimately. There are a lot of things that go into a HOF career for a QB. Did you win a SB? Did you have a long and consistent career? Did you break any NFL records? I'm not arguing that McNabb had a fine career, just not HOF worthy. Maybe if he won the SB in 2004, he'd be tempting.
Also, don't forget the way he went out with the Redskins and Vikings. He literally quit on them. |

Maybe you're right. If he won a SB, it could be a different story. It still doesn't change the focal point of my argument, though. Reid grooms quarterbacks.

If Reid can turn Ron Mexico into a pro bowler, he can turn Freeman into one.

McNabb and Reid resurrected Philadelphia from oblivion for a decade essentially.

Reid could turn my left nut into a Pro Bowler. Quarterbacks flourish in his scheme.

I see Reid has quite a following.

Based on that news conference today and all their comments about "value" I could see a trade like this happening now.
This organization just refuses to draft QBs in the first round. I hate this.
