ravishingone Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Gabbert > Wentz in BA's eyes? I guess we're about to find out. If Wentz gets cut, I'll be curious if there any rumors the Bucs have interest. Edited February 25, 2022 by ravishingone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruber74 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Gabbert or Bridgewater. Neither will cost as much salary-wise as the others already mentioned and we need to keep our draft picks (unless it's a trade for Rodgers or Wilson). I don't think Watson is on the table. QB is the worst postion to have a need if you are in win-now mode and do not have premium draft capital - those two kind of go together. Gabbert knows the offense and Bridgewater is a steady, safe, yet uninspiring option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) 2yrs/25 million, doesn't that seem high? Teddy signed a 1 yr @ 4.4 million in Denver last season. Somehow that season justifies, 12.5 million/yr. Makes no sense. Edited February 25, 2022 by ravishingone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his first year was fully guranteed and part of year 2. Anyway, i agree, 12.5 MM doesn't make sense. I'm getting the feeling more and more that Gabbert is going to be re-signed and they might give Trask a look to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don t most major cities have a social scene? If an organization wants to not trade for Watson reviewing his current situatiion, no issue and reasonable. Reynolds going down the Tampa social scene really was unnecessary. PewterReport is probably the most plugged in beat in Tampa so there is likely a lot of merit to this unless something changes legally or the Bucs get new information. Agreed that the night scene is a moot point. That’s not why ownership makes a decision one way or the other, even if it plays a small part in their thoughts. Sights set on Russell Wilson? Even thought I think that’s even less likely… Bucs might just be in QB purgatory for a year or so, but I can’t imagine that’s what they want with this roster. There is just only so much they can do.

His agent should be fired if he advises Carlton to sign a 1 yr deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can it really be Teddy B this time around? I keep telling myself it won't happen, but I just might be kidding myself. Arguably a better starting option then Gabbert. If Trask beats him out in a training camp, Teddy has always been good in the locker room. My apologies to @eggybucsfan31 for suggesting his worst nightmare might be the play. Not like Teddy is going to find a better situation. The team can keep all of their picks, add to the roster and bring back more guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indifference Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 teddy was my second option in 2020 after Brady of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 If Wentz gets cut and the Bucs show no interest and end up with Gabbert or Teddy B, sigh. Hope Trask turns out to be the guy in that scenerio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 If we're going the re-tread route at QB for this coming season, honestly there isn't much difference between Teddy B, Wentz, Gabbert, etc. These guys have all been on multiple teams and been given multiple opportunities and failed on all accounts. They're mere game managers and not very good ones at that. At least sign the cheapest one out of the bunch so we can allocate the remaining funds to other areas. I'd 100% rather just suck and see what Trask offers vs. trotting one of these guys out there and finishing 6-11 next year. Hell, even draft another 2nd-3rd round QB to compete. It'll never happen though with BA at the helm. I would hope with BA knowing his window is closing (if it hasn't already), the Bucs would make a serious run at Watson if he's cleared, as he really seems like the best option that could actually come to fruition. Outside of that, I say look to target a guy like Drew Lock on the trade scrap heap. A guy who needs a change of scenery, has big arm talent and could maybe turn his course around with BA and Lefty's tutelage. He wouldn't cost much both financially and to acquire. It would be a long-shot, but I'd rather give him a 2nd chance than a 3rd-4th chances like the other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arians has maximized the production from all of his QBs, not just the elite ones. Maybe the game plan is to let Trask play the majority of the season, then the place holder is not that important. If they view him as just back up material then I hope they go highest upside route. If it s Lock or Wentz, no issue. I would respect the coaching staff believes there is another level to tap into. For me, guys like Teddy B and Gabbert are just JAGs at this poimt. Edited March 1, 2022 by ravishingone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
