Buccaneers sign Byron leftwich

Well don't compare the 2nd Bucs vs Panthers game to the Panthers vs Giants game? Then go compare the 2 Tampa vs Carolina games. Each team kicked the crap out of the other team. Still, this thread has nothing to do with the panthers and is in the wrong section on this forum. I openly discuss the Panthers and it gets moved to the Smack central when there has been plenty of smack talked in this post that has nothing to do with the Panthers lol.. your mods have great ability at understanding what each section of a forum pertains too... why even have a NFC South section if you guys post crap like this in a Panther section?

Yea and in the 2nd Tampa vs Carolina game it was close right down to the wire, even with you guys racking up huge rushing yards... the first Tampa vs Carolina was just a slaughter and your offensive line doesn't stop Jake Delhomme from throwing 3 interceptions either. Jake is just a bad decision maker and the biggest mistake for you guys that I'm seeing.

That game was never close.

That game was never close.

I guess you don't get it. The score in that game is not an indicator as to how close the game was. Tampa lost before they stepped in the building, they were going to get demolished. The Panthers were on a mission and wouldn't be stopped.

the game was closer than you're going to give credit for, 321 passing yards and 2 interceptions isn't exactly 'not going to be stopped'....we won so thats all that matters but don't need to act like we beat them 42-3

No, the game wasn't close. The 300 rushing yards and 4 rushing TD's is "not going to be stopped".

whatever you gotta tell yourself, but the game was closer than you're going to give credit for, yes we did great but our defense kept it within reach for the bucs...you know it as well as i do but won't admit it....a game like the Denver game is when we were not going to be stopped and killed a team, the bucs game our O was great but the D let the bucs hang around for far too long, 3 quarters and its tied...the 4th quarter is the only quarter we dominated them in

I like Byron as a QB he has an arm and good accuracy, but this guy is the slowest mobility QB in the world. I hope they spend time in FA and the draft getting O linemen.

[The Answer]

Yea, he'll be on the bench. Don't get your hopes up. Anyway, your defense rarely gets pressure and they sure as hell dont cover anyone.

Seemed like every #1 receiver they faced abused them time after time. They think releasing Lucas fixes the problem? lol..

Better do something quick as Tampa will be a run first team anyway and won't be throwing much other then play action and quick deep passes.

*cough cough*

Yea its not hard to beat on a defense filled with a bunch of 2nd stringers and hurt guys. Plus the score woulda been 31-24 with 2:31 left had Peppers not blocked the PAT... You guys got the ball back and scored, thats not a blow out when there is 2 minutes left and your coach is worrying about the Bucs offense getting back on the field. I mean, Jake even didn't play that well in the 2nd game...

Then you look at the first game, 27-3 with 3 interceptions by Jake. You look at your 39 rush yards from your halfbacks, then you can tell me what a blowout ass kicking is... stop making yourself look foolish.

Plus Ronde is a corner, it'd be pathetic if your running back couldn't break him on a run. Then you take out Jermaine Phillips who was constantly in your backfield the first game from the SS spot and put in a inexperienced Sabby Piscitelli. Derrick Brooks with a well documented hamstring problem which he barely even played and which his pride of playing led to him being released the next year. Cato June was never much of a run stopper, more of a cover 2 linebacker to watch a zone... Ruud also played with a illness and was questionable to play so he wasen't even hardly healthy enough to play. Then you can write off Jovan Haye (only allowed 1 100 yard rusher and 1 rushing touchdown through 12 weeks in the same game), Chris Hovan also barely playing.

So yea, I'd call that more of a fluke then to be something proud about. I mean hell, that was as impressive to me as your guys win over the Raiders with Jake's whole 5 completions and 50 yards passing out of like 20 throws lol...

I guess it's a good thing I'm not Zod, because I would have used my bant stick on him by now.

Jesus Christ you sound like a Saints fan. "But the entire roster was injured! That game was a fluke! 300 rushing yards and four touchdowns isn't impressive, even though I'd be trolling even harder if the Bucs had even come close to putting those numbers up!". This is ignoring the high probability that you'd scoff at the notion that we were unable to run effectively in the first game because we were down three starters on the offensive line. How does the cognitive dissonance involved in making some of the arguments you've made here not give you a stroke?

Actually, seeing as to how we own the overall series by a mile since the formation of the NFC South and we're 8-2 against Tampa Bay with Jake as a starter, I wouldn't go around referring to the Bucs getting obliterated by us as a "fluke". More like a tradition. I mean, there have been some pooty, snakebit Panther teams that swept the Bucs.
