Rumors starting to fly that the Glazers are short on dollar signs

It's like passing on Simeon Rice because the Bucs already had Chidi Ahanotu.

Not really.  Rice was a known commodity while Turner had question marks.

I would say the Bucs were more set at RB with Graham and Bennett than Atlanta was with just Jerious Norwood, and I really like Norwood.

That's what we were talking about yesterday. The Bucs may have been "set", but that's about the nicest word you could use. They weren't loaded by any means. Atlanta, on the other hand, took a page from Jim Fassel and put all their chips in the center of the table and went all in saying "Michael Turner is going to be our guy and we're riding him this season". It's risk/reward. Atlanta took a big risk and got a big reward. The Bucs didn't want any risk, so they got no reward.

Any exposure to Madoff? 

I was thinking the same thing.

I think the John Romano article is dead on. I have been stating for a couple years now that the Glazers remind me of the Culverhouse era.
No reason to be that far under the cap.

It was definitely a risk/reward for Atlanta, but I would still say that they needed to take that risk because all they had was Norwood, who would have been a bigger risk than Turner.  They HAD to sign Turner, the Bucs necessarily didn't.

Out of curiosity, how much difference would Turner make on this Buccaneer team with the run blocking being what it has been and a QB unable to stretch defenses?

If you were around OBP during the Culverhouse era you'd never even think such a thing.

I'm not sure, but our O-line looked much better with Graham back there and Turner's better than Graham

Did you have to pay a quarter to use the bathroom?

No, but you had to put money in a machine for a soda.

This thread proves there are A LOT of people that don't know ANYTHING about the NFL and A LOT of "FANS" that take more stock in sportsradio rumors or tribune articles then they do actual facts.
