YaYa Diaby, Todd Bowles And Quitting
The Bucs may have missed the playoffs for the first this decade time last year. And you could argue, as a pass rusher, YaYa Diaby hasn’t yet been developed.

Major Jake Browning Bashing

“I Don’t Plan On The Bucs Being Trash”
Former Bucs QB Chris Simms thinks Baker Mayfield is the NFL’s 10th-best quarterback. Longtime CBS NFL insider Pete Prisco just ranked Mayfield No. 16 at his position.

Sneak Peak Into Baker Mayfield “Quarterback” Role

Could Kenneth Gainwell Step Over Bucky Irving
As good as the Bucs offense was in 2024, Joe’s not sure the Bucs come close to being as explosive an offense under Liam Coen without then-rookie running back Bucky Irving bursting onto the scene.

Baker Mayfield The Best Option — Now
In the words of NFL.com reporter/analyst Eric Edholm, the Baker Mayfield contract squabble is nothing more than “fluff” to give folks something to talk about during the five or six weeks between underwear football season and the July start of […] The post Baker Mayfield The Best Option — Now appeared first on JoeBucsFan.com .
Are The Bucs’ Big Three Really That Big?
We are in the throes of List Season.

“They Have To Account For All Of Us”
Last month during underwear football practice, Bucs outside linebacker YaYa Diaby dared opposing offenses to try to shut down the Bucs’ retooled defensive front-seven. “How can you block [Rueben] Bain, Vita [Vea], A’Shawn [Robinson], me and Calijah [Kancey]?” YaYa said.

Power Failure Predicted For Vita Vea
Would a Hall of Fame general manager extend Vita Vea’s contract and pay the Bucs’ manbeast defensive tackle for the 2027 season?

Is Tez Johnson A Surprise?
For Joe, there is no question who the Bucs’ top-three receivers are. There’s “Unc” Chris Godwin, who looks to be the same ol’ Chris Godwin. And, of course, Emeka Egbuka and surely Jalen McMillen should get a ton of snaps. […] The post Is Tez Johnson A Surprise? appeared first on JoeBucsFan.com .
“He Should Have A Spot In The $50 Million Club”

Baker Mayfield, Bucs “Still In The Same Spot”
