You decide which Buccaneer was worthy of the team's most valuable player award.
 


Unlike most sites and the fishwraps, we at BucsNation consider ourselves fans of this franchise. As a result, this site is as much about you as it about us.

We start with the Team MVP award.
 
Here are your finalists:

Tough question, IMO it would be between Vincent and Dougie.  Although Gerald was good too.  Lavonte too.

I voted Dougie.

[Beatles123]

Offense: Dougernaught.

Defense: Lavonte: "King" David

[Rusty]

VJ

[JavaRay]

the Bucs took ass whippings whenever Doug Martin didn't light it up.   So he has to be MVP.

Yes , but he sucks , has no redeeming qualities , and should be given up on immediately . Tar and feather him and run him out of town !

Feels great to have such a tough decisions.

In my mind, strongest cases could be made for VJ, Martin and David.

I'm going with Martin.

Now if only, a Tampa Bay player could get into the LEAGUE MVP discussion.

That would be awesome!!!

I voted for David, though it's close between him and GMC. If either of them are out, our run defense would have suffered horribly.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel Dolorous.

I voted for Vincent Jackson.... But in all honesty I think Mike Williams should be on this list also. He was nine catches less then Vincent, and four yards short of having a thousand yard year, Also had one more touch down then Vincent.

When the bar is set real low... it's doesn't mean that you boast about the accomplishment like it's monumental.  Pumping your chest about breaking Buccaneer passing records Is like your kid getting being the valedictorian of his 8th grade class and treating him as if he just graduated with honors from college.

Vincent Jackson easily. He was the leader for the offense. He came in and showed some of these younger guys the ropes. Great addition to the team.

[dalbuc]

VJax without a doubt. Take him out and Freeman's mediocre year looks bad and the whole offense chokes and dies.

You are confusing Batman and Robin. The fact that Robin beats up a lot of criminals and wears a mask shouldn't confuse you about who the hero is.

[bassfisher]

I agree that without Vincent Jackson, Freeman would have been lost.
