I dont think the Bucs are that bad, they should have stuck it out with Freeman. Granted they are 0-3 but two of those losses are against Pats and Saints, two teams who are serious contenders for winning their conferences. But also two of those losses were by 2 points or less.
I mean if you want to see teams completely coming off the rails, look at Redskins, Giants, Steelers, Jaguars, etc.
I guess the Bucs are seeing guys like Geno Smith and EJ Manuel dragging their teams out of the shitter and are wondering why not give Glennon a chance and just trade Freeman to another QB desperate franchise for some picks. I watched some videos of Glennon and an interview, and although he sounds a bit slooooow, he doesnt seem that bad of a QB. Gruden did a bunch of scouting on him earlier this year and compared him to Joe Flacco.

I called this shit the day they drafted Glennon, I just didn't think they had the balls to replace the him in the middle of the year without Freeman being hurt.

Chiefs are not the best franchise in football history (I'd give that nod to GB, Denver, and Pittsburg), but they are one of the better ones with a nice loyal fanbase. You have to be loyal to still be going to games after all those years of squandered talent. They are just in the unfortunate situation of always being bridesmaid in that division, even back in the days of Dirty Schottenhiemer and the Nigerian Nightmare. It is a lot like Greenbay in that its still a fun place to play in and watch games, even when the team is shitty.
On the flip side, LA fans are the worst fucking fans on the planet and its a wonder they can get any team in any sport with a salary cap to stay here at all. California fans, in general, are pretty classless and not very loyal. Having to explain to these idiots that being a fan means supporting someone for reasons other than winning is tiresome and useless. In fact, California in general seems to have a problem with the whole concept of loyalty that extends beyond sports.

If Blaine Gannett has taught us anything, it's that prototypical NFL QBs with accuracy issues that struggle under pressure are a sure sign of success. Glennon will be terrible.

Very probably. Freeman has been awful this year, but historically he's been merely sub-par. Glennon might win this week, but the Cardinals aren't really the same level of competition they've faced so far.
Browns. With a good developmental coaching staff I think that within two years Freeman could reach the lofty heights of league average.

Browns are dumping everything for draft picks. If they had Josh Freeman, they'd trade him to someone already for a 3rd or 4th round pick.
I didnt know they were paying him over 8M, thats Buttfumble type of money

I'm not arguing Glennon is the savior by any means, I'm just saying that his ceiling is clearly higher than that of Freeman only because with Freeman you know what you have and you don't with Glennon. I don't think Giraffe neck is the answer, but I am positive Freeman isn't.
