However, the Bucs shouldn’t be trying to win more games. No, I’m not suggesting they tank, but reaching out for veteran mediocrity in the hopes of finding a cold, unsatisfying level of competence is shortsighted and risk-averse. McCown, by definition, won’t contribute to a winning Buccaneers team during his time in Tampa. The Buccaneers’ 2015 first-round pick might, and the Bucs should want that first-round pick to be as high as possible.

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/starting-quarterback-texans-bucs/ He also makes the point the Bucs should consider starting Kafka.  Not to tank, but because McCown and Glennon clearly are not the future.  Kafka is unlikely to be, but has a higher chance to be than McCown and Glennon.  I was thinking about this earlier, I wish the Bucs had signed a Pryor-type earlier - now would be the perfect time to give him a shot.Best case, you have a franchise player.  Worst case the no. 1 pick.Currently, "best" case the Bucs win a couple games and lose a shot at a franchise QB.  "Worst" case, we still get the no. 1 pick.  So you appease some veterans and hurt the franchise.  Some plan.
