The Bucs' QB situation

[meatpile]

These guys are in trouble if Johnson goes down.

Jim Miller, Shaun King, and Chris Simms don't much worry me.

Ouch - Miller's on the PUP list, too.

Sounds like we really need to piss Peppers off the morning of 9/14.

the Bucs aren't keeping 4 QBs....you know Johnson is the starter and unless Simms really sucks, he'll be number 3. That means King or Miller isn't going to make it....my bet is Miller.

Yeah - Miller's on th PUP. So Miller will get a break, and if King or Simms sucks, King will likely get whacked after 6 weeks.

Miller's always hurt. I wouldn't count on him for much.

Yeah, they kind of sucked last year when Brad went down. King looked terrible vs Pittsburgh. They got lucky that Peete was out against us.

Yeah, the bucs' backup situation's not at all unlike the Bears' total QB situation. They're both screwed, just that the difference is the Bucs have a short term solution.

A recent article I read said Chucky really likes King as a potential future. May be smoke but he doesn't seem the type of coach that does that.

Quote: (On Shaun King )
"He's a guy that we said when we got here we really liked and were excited to work with. I think being in the same system two years in a row has really benefited him. He's showing great command right now. He's making some excellent changes at the line of scrimmage, throwing the ball extremely well, he's on time, he's having fun and he's a confident man again. He's going to take advantage of these preseason games to get reacclimated to game speed and I'm very pleased and very encouraged about what I've seen."
