If Lock comes in he would be the favorite because of his familiarity with Canales. Lock has had starting experience. If Lock is going to remain a backup, he might as well stay in Seattle. If Canales brings him in, it's to have at least a 50% chance to start.Lock would certainly fit the type of vet QB they could bring in. I would still give Trask an edge over Lock if I were the team. He's never started, so you can't go through this season without giving him a shot. Lock should be "competition" for camp, but should be the back-up during the season, unless or until Trask proves he can't play in this league, which I seriously doubt will be the case. It doesn't do this franchise any favors to not find out this year, when you're sucking up cap hits, whether or not Trask can be the guy going forward. You need to know entering next year's draft.
I think the team plans to see what they have in Trask this year so they know if they have the long-term solution or not. They drafted him for a reason, and I think some of Bowles comments kind of tilted towards a belief that Trask should have been developed more this past season and given more opportunities to back up Brady. Licht drafted him, so I know what he thinks of him. So don't be so sure Lock would be the "favorite". Besides, I think, long term, Trask will be the better QB.
BA on Brady’s play this season
Asked to say what went wrong last season, Arians pointed to injuries to key Bucs leaders like Ryan Jensen and Shaq Barrett. He also implied that Tom Brady wasn’t leading — or playing — in his usual way.
“Tom wasn’t himself, you know, with all the things that were going on,” Arians said. “And I got to give him all the credit in the world for battling through what he went through last year for his teammates. I think the world of him but it wasn’t the real Tom Brady out there.”
I said that all year
I felt the same way too. But the majority of the board was so blinded by the ghost of Brady past that they couldn't see what was really happening to our offense. So somebody else had to take the blame and fall on the sword
Brady dropped from #9 to completely out of the PFF rankings but the self anointed high IQ's on this board couldn't process that. Dumbasses!!!!!
Dumb and dumber , those two can decide who the dumber one is , it’s close. ,

Coming from the guy who claims that "play action isn't effective unless you run the ball well".
Almost as comical as you boasting in the 1st half of the SB thread, only to cower away like a baby back b*tch the entire 2nd half.

Is this your "mic drop" moment?
Umm...

Of course.
Would that be the same person who hasn't even sniffed a legit interview this offseason for a pro job?

Or, could it be the same person who openly campaigned for the Notre Dame job to be passed over by...not 1...not 2...but a 3rd candidate who happened to be their...checks notes...Tight End coach? 😂😂😂
You and you aptly named clown buddy on here continue to drive that narrative. Constantly referring to him as an offensive genius/guru who had nothing to do with our offensive failures.
That being said, the rest of us (including NFL and College programs) clearly see him for what he really is.
Kudos to Bruce though trying to get his boy a job though.
Yes, Brady's skills eroded, and he wasn't near as good last year as in past years. But it is a team game that requires everyone to play well. Who on the Bucs team improved their play from the 2021 season?

There are people that still listen to what Arians says publicly? lolz. I learned what he was about when he came in praising Jameis Winston and saying his interceptions weren't Winston's fault, but the offensive system that proceeded Arians. Winston chunked 30 interceptions the next season, with Arians at the helm. He's not to be taken seriously on this type stuff.
Has Arians had anything bad to say about your unemployed buddy? I'm sure I've missed that.
@donkey_hunter You watched it all, ask yourself, why couldn't you you see what PFF determined. How about that?
We all know why hairybucfan LOVES Byron Lefty and Todd Bowles......and hates the GOATBrady
Mighty bold of you Mr. "Philly is a Fraud".
Thank you, Mr. “I’m Gonna Laugh My Ass Off When Lovie Takes Us to the Playoffs Next Year”
