Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 38m 38 minutes ago#Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer on 2014: “Obviously, last year was disappointing. It’s not the type of season you ever want to repeat again."When you look back, you can try to point to a lot of different factors, but the bottom line is we were 2-14."You know, there was a little adversity with the offensive coordinator’s position was difficult, no question about it."And when you look back, there were a lot of games that were actually pretty close that didn’t go our way. But it’s in the past."Our goal is to never be there again and that’s what we’re focused on. We have great confidence in Lovie (Smith) and Jason (Licht)."We look at everything as live and learn. So if there was an experience that happened and certain things didn’t work out..."...to us it’s more important to look into why it didn’t work out and make sure we don’t repeat the errors of the past.''#Bucs Glazer on owning the No. 1 pick: “No question, having the first pick in the draft is a huge decision for the organization..."... and a huge opportunity for the Buccaneers. It starts right there. But then again, we have it in every round..."We have to be successful in the draft.... We feel like we had a good draft last year...that first pick, doing everything we can..."...to get that choice right, is going to be critical.''Glazer said his family spent a lot of time with QBs Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota and are comfortable with both.“With anybody we’re looking to draft, we do an extensive amount of work on their background, history and all that.''"After everything we’ve done and where we’re at right now, we’re comfortable where Jameis is at, we’re comfortable with Marcus.''Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 32m 32 minutes agoThe Glazers will allow Smith and Licht to do the groundwork and present their choice to the family.Glazer said if the reasoning for the No. 1 overall pick is sound, they will give their support.Glazer: “Absolutely, this is critical, one of the most important decisions we may make in a long time.''“But fundamentally, we believe in letting Lovie and Jason do all their ground work, and their staffs, come to their conclusions..“...discuss it with us, talk about their reasoning and as long as it makes sense, we’re supportive.''Rick Stroud @NFLSTROUD · 31m 31 minutes agoGlazers are putting no win/loss goal for 2015 but want to show progress toward a team that has 'sustainable success.'Glazer: "So if we don’t get as far as we want the first year, but it becomes sustainable and we’re competitive every year competing for..."...the playoffs, we’ll happily be more patient to get to that point.''
