Wow. I watched the Bucs win today, and I'm impressed. How on earth was he not starting from Day 1? I know it's only one game, but wow. He reminds me of McNabb. His throwing style, his ability to create things on the run, his field vision. I think Tampa has a real future franchise QB there.
I am not as quick to react because you see it all the time. New QB comes in and nobody has tape on him. Three games later the D knows his tendencies are and bam, the guy is mediocre. He keeps this up then I will be impressed.
Everyone ripped on Freeman being an erratic QB
It's one freaking game, Matt Leinart looked like a Hall of Fame QB after that Chicago game too.
he was ok.
Remember the last time Bills fans jumped to conclusions about a rookie QB from his first start?
Edwards against Baltimore. and before that Losman against Houston. What does that get you?
haha
Let's put Freeman in Canton with is 14 of 31 completions. Freeman benefited from two short fields and two returns for scores by the D and special teams. Two TD drives TOTALED 24 yards.
He played good for a debut, but lets not get carried away especially considering how erratic he was in college. Let's see how he does next week.
I would trade Edwards for him.
The guy had 2 weeks to prepare for a PACKER team that has lost the last 8 games in TAMPA...
This week the guy will struggle you will see.....
I never said he was a Hall of Fame QB. I said he should've been starting from week 1, and that he looked good this week. I said that Tampa looks like they found a future franchise QB, possibly.
Careful now...some people thought the same thing of Trent Edw....errrrrr I mean Captain Checkdown.Quote:

The difference between the two, IMO, is that Freeman isn't afraid to get hit, and has the ability to make plays on the run.Quote:

Bumpppppppp for Resident Einstein F_L, 8 Ints in last 2 games. 13 ints in 6 starts. The kid was not ready. That is why he was not starting from start.
The only point F_L made was that he should have been starting from day one, which he should have been.
The Bucs are clearly rebuilding so what was the point of starting Leftwich and Johnson? There wasn't one. They shouldn't just let Freeman start all season so gain as much experience as possible.
How come he doesnt post here anymore?
He wasn't ready and isn't ready now.Quote:
