Panthers will face former QB twice this year (Bucs name QB)

[KillerKat]

Yep, the Bucs have named Josh McCown as their starting QB this season. This should be fun.

Coach Lovie Smith confirmed Mike Glennon will be the Bucs' No. 2 quarterback this season.

The Buccaneers attempted to perform post-draft damage control after trying to trade Glennon in May by claiming he'd compete with Josh McCown to start. That didn't last long. "Mike will have a role on our team," Lovie insisted. "The backup quarterback plays an important [role]. Not only that, Mike will also be our second holder. Little things like that that we’ll ask him to do." Aug 7 - 12:49 AM

Poor josh.

Absolutely love it. Obviously, they're going nowhere with him. But, they will likely win just enough games to keep out of the "draft lottery" if you will. A decent/good chance they'll be out of range of a Mariota, Hundley, Winston, et al. And, they give up on Glennon who at least showed small flashes in year one. Love it.

If he dies... he dies.

Glennon will be starting soon enough. Josh McCown is a 35 year old career backup, you can't merit 6-7 decent games with the Bears for a starting job.

Lovie's got his guy.

[Rags]

Well hope we're ready to deal with MArriota/Winston twice a year.

[Happy Panther]

I didn't even remember he played for us

On August 29, 2008, the Carolina Panthers acquired McCown from the Dolphins for a 7th round pick (#237 overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. The move came a day after Panthers quarterback Matt Moore suffered a leg injury.^[12][13] He made his debut as a Panthers player when he entered the field against the Atlanta Falcons only for the end-game kneeldowns that drained the last 73 seconds from the clock. He had the same role against theKansas City Chiefs.

 

 

Stellar.

Well that......that's just lovely.

McCown killed it with Jeffery and Marshall. He has something similar albeit not as good with Jackson and Evans. Evans is a question mark. Bucs aint poo.

[Cary Kollins]

Not only that, Mike will also be our second holder.

True, but Lovie Smith is not the offensive guru that Marc Trestman is.

Expect McCown to come back down to Earth and be promptly buried by Monsters Inc.
