New Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has made it clear in the past month that Jameis Winston is his starting quarterback. So Gerald McCoy Jersey , the only real decision to be made at the quarterback position this offseason concerns the backup role.Tampa Bay spent the last couple of seasons with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Griffin backing up Winston. Of course, Fitzpatrick’s performance in that backup role was memorable. “Fitzmagic” took the entire league by storm in the first two weeks of the 2018 season, as the Bucs beat the Saints and Eagles in back-to-back games. From there, the veteran was much more inconsistent, though he still wasn’t the worst option to have behind Winston. He was definitely serviceable. The team has kept Griffin around since 2015, but he has yet to take a snap in the regular season. He has shown some promise in preseason action over the years, but not enough for him to be fully trusted as the No. 2 over Fitzpatrick in the last two seasons. With both Fitzpatrick and Griffin set to be free agents this spring, it feels like it’s time for Tampa Bay to move on and find a new backup for Winston. That backup should be someone that can push him long-term and be groomed to step in and produce right away if necessary. The two in-house guys just might not be the best options going forward.Despite Fitzpatrick’s success in the backup role the last two years, it’s hard to see the Bucs bringing him back. He will turn 37 in November, and while he showed he had plenty left at different points in the 2018 season, he has to be nearing the end of his time in the league. Might he want to explore the possibility of a starting role — even if it’s transitional — elsewhere? That wouldn’t be surprising. UPDATE: While talking about Fitzpatrick’s appearance at the Celebrity Charity Shootout at Topgolf over Super Bowl weekend, the guys on the Pat McAfee Show noted Tuesday that the veteran said he wants to be a starter wherever he ends up in 2019. Griffin is younger than Fitzpatrick, but he is already 29 years old. If he hasn’t shown enough to be given snaps even in garbage time, he probably isn’t the right guy to push your starting quarterback either. Tampa Bay might be interested in keeping Griffin around as a preseason/No. 3 guy, but he probably doesn’t fit into what the team needs from the No. 2 role. So, what happens next? The Bucs could opt to sign a quarterback in free agency, but the available guys don’t inspire much feeling. Guys like Tyrod Taylor and Teddy Bridgewater are intriguing, but both are more likely to look for/find starting jobs somewhere in the league. That would leave guys like Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler, Josh McCown, Robert Griffin III and Brett Hundley as the top options. Could Tampa Bay go that route? Probably, but the draft would be ideal.There are a number of backup/developmental prospects in this year’s draft that are worth looking into. The Bucs could presumably use a fourth-rounder (or an earlier pick if they gather more selections via a trade) on someone that can sit and learn behind Winston in addition to providing relief when called on. Because the Bucs aren’t contractually committed to Winston beyond 2019, finding a young guy with potential would set them up in a better position than sticking with one of their existing options. If things go south for Winston this season, having a rookie step in and get meaningful reps before potentially assuming a starting role in 2020 makes a lot more sense. Of course, there really isn’t a right answer, but that’s how I’m seeing things for the backup role right now. What say you, Bucs fans? This guy just can’t get enough of himself."Practice makes perfect, right?Well, not if you’re Desean Jackson. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ p r i z e d diva receiver put himself in the spotlight again this past Wednesday after he made some very interesting comments on The Simms and Lefkoe podcast. Jackson was in Atlanta with former NFL quarterback Michael Vick. After former Bucs quarterback Chris Simms inflated Jackson’s head to the size of the moon (even though you can make the argument it was already that big), Jackson gave - or inadvertently gave - some insight as to why he never clicked with Jameis Winston downfield. Here is a transcript of the entire exchange, beginning with Simms’s comments.Jackson’s response was, well Lavonte David Jersey , exactly what you would expect from the 11-year veteran. Good Lord. Where do we even begin?First off, shame on Simms for lobbing such a softball question and for completely foregoing the fact that yes, while Jackson has had a stellar career, he has been a complete headache for every team he has played for. It’s not like Jackson is out here curing cancer. Sure, he has some decent charities outside of the confines of One Buc Place, but this dude isn’t a prized citizen to any extent. For all of the football knowledge that Simms possesses, he should know this, but hey, I guess you gotta keep it friendly on Radio Row. Second, we all knew about this guy’s ego, but his absolute lack of self-awareness and accountability is second-to-none. All year long - outside of the first two games - he bitched about his role in the offense and how he didn’t click with Winston. He made the case for Ryan Fitzpatrick to continue to be the starter, just so his own stats could be bolstered. Hey, Desean, here’s a thought: How in the f%!$ to do you expect to develop chemistry with your quarterback if you don’t practice? You are one of the fastest players to ever play in the NFL, most quarterbacks will have to develop some type of rhythm with you in order to create chemistry. There is no doubt that the uber-talented players get away with more in the NFL, but to sit there and expect entitlement - especially when none of your teams have won a playoff game since 2008 - is absurd and ridiculous. That’s right, Jackson’s first year in the league saw him play in three postseason games. The Philadelphia Eagles won two of the three, losing to the Arizona Cardinals in the NFC Championship game. Jackson’s teams are 0-5 in the playoffs after winning the first two games. He has 15 receptions for 223 yards and two touchdowns in that span. He had five receptions for 115 yards in the two wins. He is Antonio Brown, he’s just missing Brown’s name, skills, accolades - everything that makes him the top receiver in the league. Jackson finished fourth on the Bucs in 2018 when it came to yards and receptions. Adam Humphries, the team’s fourth receiver, finished with better stats in every category outside of yards per reception. And all of this came with a $11 million cap hit. It doesn’t get much better in 2019, either. Jackson carries a $10 million cap hit in 2019 and the Bucs are one of the more cap-strapped teams in the league. So, you have a receiver who doesn’t like to practice, loves to bitch and moan, and is expensive. Three strikes and your out, bud. But the worst part about all of this is the fact that the Bucs may need Jackson in 2019. Bruce Arians runs a vertical offense and he will need someone who can stretch the field. Fortunately, former Arians’ understudy and speedster John Brown will be a free agent this year, so he could replace Jackson at a cheaper - both financially and headache-wise - rate. Jackson still thinks he is the same guy from 2008-2013 and his comments reflect that thought.He’s living in the past while we are all looking toward the future. Hopefully that future won’t include Jackson’s $10 million salary and shitty attitude. I’ll pay for the moving expenses, Tampa Bay. Get this guy the hell out of here. (h/t Joe Bucs Fan)
