Off The Reservation

They're justa bunch too plenty crazy gringos ! As some of you know, I do a bit o bidness wid the Tennessee Titans, and chat with a person that works for the team from time to time. One of the things he's said to me, is basically that having a buncha money does not necessarily mean you are smart, and for sure does not mean you are tackle football smart. Cited several teams where the owner(s) group either can't recognize or won't pay for front office and coaching talent, believing themselves - because they are good AT ONE THING, to be good at ALL things - which engenders actions that end up the team's overall prospects. Some jump over a dollar to save a dime, and some make the egregious mistake of thinking a rank college kid can come in and save their team. While that HAS happened a FEW times, it's the exception and NOT the rule.

IMO, as in most things, ego rules, and common sense - especially in hiring brilliance that knows how to put together a wining program, AND does it - is sometimes in short supply.

Nash the Stookidhead, has been a Bucs fan since they became extant. I believe they may still have the WORST overall record for any franchise in the history of the NFL; which goes to show you how smart I ain't.

Finding new and different ways to fail.

He can't be on the staff cuz he would lose his money from UNC, so he really is the DC but they can't make it official.

I have all but given up on this year with the bucs... Who will be the # 1 guy drafted next year?

If you check out walterfootball.coms draft through 4 rounds he has the bucs taking Claiborne from LSU then Denard from nebraska then james from oregon. wouldnt be too bad of a draft there but they will find a way to screw it up

Bush what do you think of Freeman? I'm not convinced that he is a franchise QB.

I'm not sure what to think about Freeman.

He had a great season the year before, and a not so great season last year.

I'll wait and see how he does this year

Very insightful Bushido, thanks.

I know it's just talk, but the Bucs seems to be interested in quite a few upcoming FA's. It's more chatter than I've heard in the past. Maybe the Glazer's are finally putting some money into the team.

Hard to determine/judge how a QB will do who has been as inconsistent as Freeman. I'm hoping that he can play like he did in his 2nd year in the league. That was a special year for any QB with the numbers he put up.

Last season [at times..] felt like nobody on the team cared during the game, and just went through the motions. Maybe I was seeing things on the TV, but that's how it seemed.

There goal is to become the dollar store of the NFL.

Bushido do I know you from the old days at WC or ND? I know I follow you on Twitter...
