Browning was signed for what we endured last year. Needed to rest Baker and couldn't because didnt have a back-up.
well, i am not sure i'd say Daniels could come in against NFL first stringers and manage to a win either but it is what it is, Browning didnt look good
If your firsts sentence was true there would be a competent vet back up, right? Maybe thats still in the cards
no controversy here. I think they signed Browning because of how poor the back-up situation has been with Baker. Trask and Teddy. yikes.
but Browning didn't produce and Daniels impressed
maybe Daniels continues to impress but asking an undrafted rookie to come into real games and produce, that is as tall ask
definitely
I like Daniels, but the Bucs definitely make some odd moves on the back end of the roster. I get Daniels played better than Browning, but seems there had to be better competition out there for back up QB.
I mean I don’t know who’s available that would have to learn playbook and be effective
browning would be logical for practice squad but I don’t think he wants to do that
Being glass half full, got to think Daniels he better than Bridgwater so there’s that!
I don't know. I've seen reports saying Daniels is having trouble with the playbook and taking snaps under center. If that's the case, then Browning must have really sucked bad.
Easton is being signed to PS according to PR and that is fine as he knows the offense and can lead the PS offense.

He looks like a project to me. Which is fine as your #2 guy. It's probably better to have someone with upside to come in than some inconsistent bag of bones who instantly becomes "game manager" Joe.
What about Will Levis? I mean I know he sucked in Tennessee but he has a cannon for an arm and at least has some meaningful NFL snaps.

I'd sign him but he's also a diva
It would take a lot for Baker to come off the field as he prides himself being a reliable starter so the risk of Daniels seeing a lot of playing time is low which is why it is a no brainer to go with Daniels. If Daniels needs to come in for half a game or 1-2 games he is golden and Mayfield will be right at it. But if Mayfield is out for half a season then it would not matter who the backup QB is at that point.
mayfield misses half a season then we are best off with Daniels anyway to get him some playing time in a wasted year
it’s the needs to play a half or a game or two in a must win that I’d worry about
Josh Allen screwed up the evaluation of these big armed kids. Will Levis and Richardson have some big throw tape, but man, this game demands intellect at the QB position.
You can coach up big arm QB talent to be serviceable even if they do not become starters. Levis has the wrong attitude while Josh Johnson is still in the league because has the right attitude Richardson probably has the more malleable attitude where he is willing to learn and improve.
Easton as a three is fine but I wouldn't go crazy over this pick up.

Richardson has a cannon but zero touch.
Levis has touch but zero brains.
If you go back and look at all the backup QBs of the Licht era they haven't really found one they trust since Fitzmagic. Gabbert was OK but they dumped him. They didn't trust Trask. It was probably his draft status and the fact he was never needed that kept him around. Then they dumped Trask for Bridgewater and then decided it was better to play Mayfield at 50% rather than Bridgewater. Then they get Browning and he's displaced by a UDFA rookie and they dump him and Bazelak.
My point is to look at the Bucs perspective. #1 They're sick of low budget retread backups who suck. If you don't trust them in a game then why are they even there?
#2 They really do see Daniels as having the potential to start in the future. Otherwise why waste time with him? That's the reason there are so few QBs drafted on Day 3 in the NFL - because they're never going to be starters so why bother putting in the time and energy on them? The Bucs never draft a late round QB either. But all of a sudden they're keeping a UDFA? Why bother risking it if he's nothing but a backup?
This sums it up perfectly. The only other redeeming thing about Levis (and inevitably what I was thinking) was already having game snaps in the NFL...as does Richardson. I like Daniels a lot especially for an undrafted kid. I would just like to see a little more experience behind Baker. I think we will be fine because Baker is as tough as a $2 steak at Sizzlin, but that's also a crux because when he gets banged up, his performance starts to wane dramatically.You can coach up big arm QB talent to be serviceable even if they do not become starters.

According to Mayfield he is learning the playbook quickly. The report of having bad snaps is true and happened in the third pre season games. But that can be improved.

I mean Daniels is a contingency in the event Mayfield is seriously injured or walks next off season. But those scenarios are not likely but Daniels gives the team some runway if they want to explore what they can do with extra cap space if Mayfield choose to pursue other options.
So I would argue that Daniels being here indicates the team does not really have an inclination for drafting a QB next year unless they tank for a top pick.
