Josh Johnson to start for Tampa Bay

Morris said Freeman is better than Sanchez. He said Freeman will prove to be the best QB in the 2009 draft.

 

I'm surprised it was Johnson over Freeman, he's really fast though so it should be at least fun to watch because they're still going to suck.

 

It will be Freeman by week 8. It won't matter though because that team makes Cleveland look like they are going to the Superbowl.

 

Morris doesn't have the offense to help freeman.

just for that comment, I hope he plays Freeman too soon and ruins his confidence.

 

Whoa whoa whoa. Pump ya breaks.

 

Tampa looked like a JV football team yesterday

 

I see Morris on the local news almost every night ? he strikes me as extremely intelligent and football minded pause not.

 

I'd start Freeman. What do you have to lose?

 

Josh Johnson is very good QB, he should have been drafted higher last year. He was the MVP of the East-West Shrine game and had something like 43 touchdowns to 1 interception his senior year in college! Tampa Bay is bad this year but I guarantee Josh Johnson is a Pro-Bowler next year. He is basically Michael Vick with a much more accurate arm and an overall much better passer because Jim Harbaugh taught him how to be an NFL QB in college.

 

Have you seen them this year?

 

Freeman's Sanity?

 

So a guy that couldn't even beat out Byron Leftwich and didn't show enough that a team went out and spent a first round pick on Freeman is now according to you...."guaranteed" to be a Pro Bowler next year?

Are you nuts?

 

Bucs 0-16? takers?

 

I say no to 0-16. They get to play Washington and then Carolina twice. They'll win at least 2 out of those 3, but probably no other game on their schedule

 

Remember David Carr?

 

I understand that my comments sound like i am out of my mind but I'm not quite RaiderJoe. I watched as much tape as I could find on this kid coming out of college and I think he is special, one of those players that a decade from now will be played on the second day of the draft as a steal of the 5th round. He didn't win the starting job at the beginning of the season because he wasn't competing for it; Leftwich and McNown were. Tampa Bay kept 4 quarterbacks on the roster last year because they thought he was too good to take a chance of another team claiming him off their practice squad and have said he should have been a second round pick based on what they saw of him in training camp last year. He is only in his second year, how many second year players who are fifth round draft picks become starters? He is obviously much further along than Josh Freeman or else the Bucs would have made Freeman the starter considering the success of the last four first round quarterbacks to start (Stafford winnings a game with the hapless Lions makes him an early success). So why did they take Josh Freeman in the draft? They liked him, knew they needed a QB of the future, and weren't about to rely on a QB taken in the fifth round of the draft last year especially considering the most progress a player makes is from his first to second year. Maybe I am wrong but I do believe he will be the type of flashy quarterback who makes the Pro Bowl because he will prove to be a better player than Michael Vick and Vick was a Pro Bowler.

 

Uhh, I don't know what to say but you need to be REALLY good to be a pro-bowler. Eli, Romo, Rodgers, Ryan, Brees, Warner all play in the NFC. He's not leap frogging those guys, even if that logic does somehow work out for you

 

i've seen that line too many times to believe it.

 

Morris in the interview: "Johnson brings a different mindset"

Morris in his head: "Johnson can run the hell away from al the DL and LB killing our O-line"
