Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The 5 Greatest Players of All Time By David Levin August 07, 2014    11:49 pm 14877009263_2E3F7F6D42_O.jpgThe came into the league like little neophytes and stunk up the NFL. In their first two seasons of existence, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were just plain BAD. They knew it, the coaches knew it, the owner knew it and the fans and NFL knew it. Bumbling, stumbling, fumbling – and that was just over themselves, let’s not get started about playing the opposition. There are things players just don’t talk about.The Buccaneers are the first post-merger expansion team to win a division title, win a playoff game, and to host and play in a conference championship game; this was accomplished during the 1979 season. They are also the first team since the merger to complete a winning season when starting 10 or more rookies, which happened in the 2010 season. In 1976 and 1977, The Buccaneers lost their first 26 games. After a brief winning era in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the team suffered through 14 consecutive losing seasons.Then, for a 10-year period, they were consistent playoff contenders and won Super Bowl XXXVII at the end of the 2002 season, but have not yet returned to the Super Bowl; thus the Bucs, along with the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets, are the only NFL teams to win their lone Super Bowl appearance.Now, with a new coach, a new culture in the bay, this franchise looks like it will be on the uptick again, looking to make the playoffs in a year or two.While there have been many players who were part of the growth and development of this organization, not all of them can be placed on the list of the five greatest of all time. Names like Ricky Bell, James Wilder, Doug Williams, John Lynch and Jimmie Giles are forever etched in the lore of the orange and red and red and pewter. Here are the five that make the cut and greatest of all time.LEE ROY SELMON 14670437080_D6783921B4_O.jpgDERRICK BROOKS14856783012_6D15D0C45F_O.jpgWARREN SAPP14670592517_6D541F73A1_O.jpgRONDE BARBER14877009183_35De07Ac72_O.jpgPAUL GRUBER14670506238_Dcc17E38E9_O.jpglink
