Fitz to start for the Bucs

[Jeremy Igo]

Just announced.

 

Much rather face Jameis

[Ricky Spanish]

Nono

Bucs, Jameis is good, start him more plz.

I'm just glad we know either way rather than having to gamelan for both (then again either of them are liable to get benched no matter who starts!) 

[cookinwithgas]

not a good thing for us

[Chaos]

Fitz has been benched this season for throwing a billion picks in a game too.  The Bucs have no idea what they are doing at QB.  We've got to bring the pressure and rattle him early.

[Mr. Scot]

Could be bad since it's midseason, which is when he tends to be his worst.

Could be good since he's coming off the bench, which is when he tends to do his best.

We'll see which guy shows up on Sunday.

But yeah, I'd have probably preferred Winston. At least he sucks on a consistent basis.

[Captain Obvious]

 Lets see if this D has really turned the corner this year. We should force Fitz into multiple turnovers with pressure, pressure, pressure all day.

Damn.

lol at anyone worried about Fitztragic

[Seltzer]

Probably worse for us for one game since Fitzpatrick seems to be better in that offense, but this is damning news for Jameis.  I don't know how they go back to him or commit to him in the future at this point.

Regardless, uncertainty at the QB position either in the short-term or long-term is good for us.  Having an unsettled QB situation for next year is a good thing.

Seems like Koetter knows he is done after this year if he doesn't make the playoffs and is grasping at straws.  This is not the move of someone who expects to there long-term.

Can't be good news for the Bucs GM either.  His whole tenure is tied to Jameis.  To basically give up on him means he's out too if they don't make playoffs.

I've seen enough of Fitz to know that, if you put him under pressure, he will be anything but magical.  If you give him too much time, on the other hand, he can pick you apart.

saw a stat that said josh freeman had a better record thru 48 games than Jamies did.... yikes. I think its officially safe to say that he is a bust.
