The Tampa Bay Buccaneers need more from the QBs in 2010

Blogged under Needs to Step Up, Bloglockers, Front Page, General Buccaneers Talk by admin on Friday 8 January 2010 at 8:23 pm

The Buccaneers will likely try to bring in a veteran QB to back-up Josh Freeman in 2010.  Freeman played in 10 games as a rookie for the Bucs in 2009 and he completed 159 of 291 passes (54.6%) for 1,857 yards with 10 TD passes and 18 INTs (59.9 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 30 times for 161 yards (5.4 ypc) this year.  Freeman shows a ton of raw talent as he has a strong arm and he’s a really good runner out of the pocket.  Hopefully, Freeman has learned from his many mistakes and he won’t repeat them in 2010.

23-year old Josh Johnson played in 6 games for the Buccaneers this season and he completed 63 of 125 passes (50.4%) for 685 yards with 4 TD passes and 8 INTs (50.9 QB Rating).  Johnson also carried the ball 22 times for 148 yards (6.7 ypc) this year.  It appears that the Bucs are going to try to trade Johnson some time before the NFL Draft in April.

29-year old Byron Leftwich played in 3 games for the Bucs this season and he completed 58 of 107 passes (54.2%) for 594 yards with 4 TD passes and 3 INTs (71.2 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 6 times for 6 yards (1.0 ypc) this year.  Leftwich has now played in 57 games in his NFL career and he has completed 900 of 1,545 passes (58.3%) for 10,218 yards with 58 TD passes and 41 INTs (79.6 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 136 times for 384 yards (2.8 ypc) with 9 TD runs in his career.  I can’t see any way that Leftwich returns to the Bucs in 2010.

Antonio Bryant needs to shut his pie hole and play ball for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

28-year old WR Antonio Bryant is running his mouth about needing to get the ball more when he should just shut up and play ball.  After all, the Buccaneers are paying him a ridiculous $9.88 million bucks this season.  For that amount of cash, Bryant has played in 8 games catching 22 passes for 360 yards (16.4 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  The Buccaneers were fooled by Antonio Bryant’s big 2008 season and they gave him way too much money to stay.  He played in all 16 games last season for the Bucs when he caught 83 passes for 1,248 yards (15.0 avg) with 7 TD grabs.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 22 yards (11.0 ypc) last season.  The Buccaneers should just let Bryant walk away at the end of the year as he’s way more trouble than he is worth.
