Talk about an incredible turn-around for a team, it's starting to look like they got Lucky
Why can't the Bucs ever get a QB like Luck?

In the other years, we do stupid stuff like drafting Caddy Williams over Aaron Rodgers. We were lucky to get Freeman.

We were lucky to get Freeman.Here's that draft. 23 teams passed on Rodgers.http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?season=2005&round=round1#round1Luck is one of those rare guys like Elway. The Bucs never get lucky enough to have the #1 pick in a draft when a guy like that is available. Sucks.
Gruden didn't have the luxury of picking a QB that year. He needed to win immediately or be fired after that 2004 season. That dictated picking the RB.
The fans are not exactly geniuses. Yes, he was on the hot seat. You weren't a fan back then? Anyone who was a fan back then knows that Gruden would have been fired with a bad 2005 season.
