Bucs have traded for Brian Griese

[rowdie]

It's another insurance policy for the QB position. Why is anyone surprised? We're not asking him to start or be the QB of the future. And he'd still have to beat out McCown for the backup role.

If he can't make it to the #2 spot I don't get why they'd keep him.  Unless the four qb thing is here to stay.

I like the move. Drafting QB and WR are hti or miss. This guy could step in for Garcia and we would not lose much.

You're struggling to find anything positive from this move. It's a joke and to give up any draft pick for a horrid QB is insane

Uh, no I'm not struggling. I like this move. Like it. Just because you don't, doesn't mean others don't.

[FSUBucs]

Wow what a great move?!!! Is this all were getting today?

[Badabing]

maybe now we could have a back-up that could win games for us when Garcia is injured or resting on the bench....

At least we didn't overpay. He's scheduled to make less than Simms.

I think this means you can take Flaco off the mock draft.

It is kind of funny, when one says one thing and does the exact opposite of that, I question the move because it makes no real sense other then adding more depth to an overly crowded qb position. I just dont see a true direction this off-season by the front office at this point. It is getting harder and harder to keep trying to look at what little positives  this regime has done since winning a superbowl in 2002.

It is like they a grasping at straws at this point.

I just dont see a future with any of these moves thus far this off-season other then the Jeff Faine signing, It is like we are going backwards rather then moving forward.

We don't need more insurance.  We have a starter and a backup.  The 3rd spot should be for a future starter to groom.

At this point they should just trade McCown, too, as there is no way he will sniff playtime now.

I think there will be a legitimate competition for number 2.   I can see The Bucs will go in to training camp with Garcia, Griese, McCown, Simms, and Gradkowski.  It's The Gruden usual.

More details when I have them.

what idiots...the man would have been released if we waited another day.  Plus, nobody else would have been interested in this bum.


Atleast its news and it could be no more then a 6th unless we completely lost our minds

Are you kidding me?

Nope, that's what I am told.
