Monday Morning Wrapup. 8/23/2021
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are now Oh and Two for the preseason. Many Buc fans are in a panic with feelings of dread and doom. Two meaningless preseason games were lost and the sky is falling. STOP IT. Take a deep breath. Get ahold of yourselves. Preseason games are played for many reasons. Winning the games is not one of them unless you really sucked the year before. The coaches are under the gun to teach over 100 players schemes and techniques that are applicable to what they are trying to do. They then have to evaluate these players. For somewhat stable teams like Tampa Bay. The preseason is used to assess talent. Not to win games. So RELAX. Drink that beer with confidence, not anxiety.
Speaking of anxiety. Kyle Trask appears to produce a lot in Buc fans. Kyle is a rookie QB in the NFL. That is like taking YOU in your regular car and putting you onto any NASCAR track to compete. It ain’t happening. The NFL is a completely different animal than college. They are bigger, faster, longer, and stronger. They come with speed, and they hit with power. It is IMPOSSIBLE for rookie QB to adjust in less than a year. Brady sat, Rodgers sat, Mahomes sat, Wilson sat. All the ‘good’ QB’s currently in the NFL sat for at least 10 games before they played. The worst thing the NFL does is draft a number one QB then play him in the 1st year. It is a certain disaster for the quarterback. The list is long of QB’s who crashed and burned because he was immediately expected to duplicate his success in college. Maybe Trask will be a good qb in the NFL. Maybe not. But you won’t find out in his 1st year. So RELAX.
Hey… Its Monday. Let’s go get em.
