McFarland deal all about a lack of production
By Matthew Postins
The first Tampa Bay Buccaneers game I covered two years ago was against Kansas City. In that game, Anthony McFarland got hurt. I have to admit, I didn't notice that until well after the injury.
In the interest of this column I'm going to say it was less my falling asleep on the job and more McFarland's unremarkable last few seasons in Tampa Bay.
Dealing "Booger" to Indianapolis for a second-round pick next season should be a steal for the Buccaneers. They move a player who has been remarkable only in his inconsistency and his love for golf for a draft pick that could allow them to select a player that could bolster an aging defense.
Forget that McFarland was supposed to replace Warren Sapp, and that the Bucs paid McFarland $31 million to that effect. Forget that when he took over the under tackle position he said that was his more "natural" position. His on-field resume since Sapp's departure illuminates the reality.
The Bucs made a big financial mistake investing in McFarland.
