Shaun King has quietly replaced Rob Johnson as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' No. 2 quarterback.

Head coach Jon Gruden confirmed the promotion Friday, although he had little to say about the change for Sunday night's game against the New Orleans Saints.

"I like both quarterbacks. I just feel this is best for our football team right now," Gruden said.

This might be RJ last year in the league. That is hillarious.

Yeah, I had to laugh when I read this. I work with a guy who is a huge Bucs fan and he said that a couple weeks ago his father called ranting about RJ. He said that he told his dad he "knew" about RJ because he worked with a Bills fan.


:D

LOL--IMO he isn't even backup material anymore. I remember in that SI article with RJ's dad saying something like the only way you'll get sacked often is playing QB for the Bills. LOL--No dude, your son just sucks!!!! Stop blaming others for your sons demise.

This is not a shocking move. King will be a more competent 2nd stringer. While RJ has talent, he has never learned to read a D or break his bad habits...that is why he hasn't been successful. He will be surfing next fall. i feel badly for him, because he did try, but this is for the best for all concerned.

I knew everyone would be loving this "headline", it seems a bit strange that you get excited over RJ's failures but if it makes you all feel better about yourselves then enjoy.
Maybe RJ will get run over by a bus sometime soon, then you all can really celebrate.

chill... if you look - there's other headlines about other players from other teams too. If I could find a DF article to post, I'll post it in attention to you.
