This is to be expected from Herm, but not from Clark Hunt. Clark is allowing Herm to treat another game as if its a preseason game and not field the best QB on the roster? I don't care if Huard was 45, play the best man.

Hermspeak ...

“Tyler Thigpen is going to be the starting quarterback going into this week. Damon Huard is going to be number two and Ingle Martin is number three.”

“Cause that’s the way we’re going this week.”

" ... we want to take a look at him."

" ... we want to look at and see where he’s at."

" ... we want to find out where he’s at."

"We just felt we’d go with him this week."

"It’s a decision we made as a staff."

" ... we decided to give him a shot this week."

"We want to look at this guy."

"We wanted to develop Tyler ..."

" ... he always seems to move the team."

"He completes the two-point play. That’s what he brings to the table."

“The guy deserves to play."

"This kid deserves a chance. "

"We’re trying to find out about young quarterbacks."

"The best thing for success for a young quarterback and to protect him is you’ve got to run the ball."

" ... the guy is not going to go back there and throw 50 passes."

"... the quarterback has to make some plays with the pass to get them off the line of scrimmage."

Q: But you can take the reins off the quarterback eventually as time passes.

EDWARDS: “The best thing for success for a young quarterback and to protect him is you’ve got to run the ball. For heaven’s sake, the guy is not going to go back there and throw 50 passes. But he’s going to have to make some plays passing the ball to get the guys off the line of scrimmage...

Q: But you’re having trouble running the ball as well.


EDWARDS: “We sure are and that’s when the quarterback has to make some plays with the pass to get them off the line of scrimmage. Until you back them off with some plays in the passing game, you’re going to deal with what we had to deal with Sunday.”
Yeah, let's see what the QB can do by letting him hand off the ball to a RB to run into the stacked box for 2 yard gains with the occasional awkward Huard-patented dump off pass play thrown in to give everyone a false glimmer of hope that we might actually do something beyond one of the five plays in the playbook? Why not let the quarterback, like say, pass the ball? We're going to lose anyway, why not lose with style and maybe some points on the board and actually see what the QB can do? I don't get why Herm's so afraid of passing the ball.

And I'm so sick of the circle of excuses. We can't run because we don't establish the passing game, yet we can't establish a passing game because we can't run.

Sometimes I like to think that when Herm finally retires/gets banned from coaching football, Ashton Kutcher is going to run out and tell everyone they've all been Punk'd.

I am ok with them starting Thigpen. This is the year to be experimenting with youngins. We arent going anywhere anyways. I just dont want to see the lame ass play calling by Chan Solari though. We need to do different things then right right up the middle on first down. Mix it up a little bit.

We know what we got with Huard. He isnt going to get any better. Just let the youngsters run the show.

OMG its not even close!! The 76-77 Bucs went 0-26!

We would have to lose all our games this year and the first game in 2009 to tie the record.

(Not saying its not possible - just saying we are not even close to breaking the record yet)

No, I meant CURRENT (active) standing. Are we the team active right now who's gone the longest without a regular season win...

It's always good to know we have Captain checkdown with his wobble launcher assuming the fetal position as a backup.

My bad.............off the top of my head I would say yes with Detroit probably second as I recall they had quite a losing streak going on at the end of last year.
