Yeah I saw that too. I think he’s been hearing the backlash and had to say it. I just hope it’s not give Baker one series and if he looks good pull him so that he’s protected. Let it be a real competition.
Trask went 20-28 with that O-line and really should have been at least 24-28 because of some really bad drops. Nothing I’ve seen from Baker suggests he could do that in the NFL under constant pressure. Of the one “good”performance by each QB, Trask’s was far more impressive, IMO.
Hi tea, I suspect you are right. Not giving up on Kyle, he waited it out at UF, IMO his patience will pay off at Tampa Bay.
Mayfield is already a proven non commodity. Play the one guy that has a potential future, let him get the much needed experience. This is just plain stupid, imho. Buccaneers QB battle ends: Todd Bowles names Baker Mayfield starter for 2023 after competition with Kyle Trask
I think we all expected Mayfield to be named the starter. I will also add that none of us expect Mayfield to be the starter at the end of the season
And, if I recall correctly, it was Year 1 when a still-serviceable Steve Spurrier got absolutely CRUSHED behind some damn bad O-line play. But it also got him more interested in coaching, so there is that.
I remember during that season one of the Bucs offensive lineman said Spurrier was the toughest QB he ever saw. He couldn't believe he kept getting up and playing after some of the beatings he took.
