http://fansided.com/2014/01/02/nfl-rumors-tampa-bay-buccaneers-josh-mccown/ "The Chicago Bears handed Jay Cutler a massive contract extension on Thursday which ensured he’d be with the team for the foreseeable future. The news squashed whatever competition there was between Cutler and backup Josh McCown but more importantly it squeezed the Bears cap space, meaning Cutler may not have only won the job but forced McCown out of town. Meanwhile, down in Tampa Bay, the Buccaneers handed Jay Cutler’s former head coach Lovie Smith a contract to become the team’s new leader, and this has promoted speculation that McCown could be on Smith’s radar in free agency. It’s likely that thanks to his impressive backup work with the Bears, McCown will attract a lot of attention from teams needing a solid backup option. But McCown and Smith have positive history that may lead to a reunion with the Buccaneers. Mike Glennon seems to be the guy the Buccaneers may want to roll with in Smith’s first year, but no matter who is the quarterback of the future, it’s possible that McCown could be brought in to mentor the franchise quarterback. Smith might even be able to talk McCown down on a price, as a reunion could be mutually beneficial to all parties involved. The Bears will still try to bring McCown back and he might also get offered an obscene amount elsewhere, but Lovie Smith knows what he’s getting in McCown and the history they have suggest he could be wearing a Buccaneers uniform in 2014 if he decides to play."
No thanks. Josh McCown was complete crap before Trestman came along.
I wouldn't mind bringing him in to compete with Glennon.

If our QBs consist of Glennon and McCown next year.... Ugh.
Pass. Is mccown actually good or is trestman just that good of an offensive coach. I vote the latter. What would be the difference between mccown and keeping Dan orlovsky?
McCown outplayed Cutler when he got the chance so I don't think you can give all the credit to Trestman.
Bill Polian " be aware of fast riser up the board"
McCown could be that late blooming journeyman for all we know. It's happened before.
I heard an interview... sounded interested in maybe one more year.
i wouldn't mind at all to see McCown slug it out with Glennon. he needs a crafty veteran to push him

Exactly. I don't understand the logic in saying it's all Trestman. When you replaced Cutler with McCown the offense took off. McCown looked really comfortable and delivered the ball decisively. I think he would be good competition for whoever we draft.
If seen enough McCowns in Pewter

Yea he only had a rating over 100 in his 3 starts here. Josh Johnson and Byron Leftwich were spectacular too. Luke is better and younger than Josh, bring him back instead.
Finally, a chance for the Bucs to make right with the McCown family.
