Most people around the country hate them, and always ... http://thepewterplank.com/2009/06/22/remember-back-in-the-daycreamsicle/ Rick Stroud of the St Petersburg Times was just featured on ESPN's NFL Live and was quoted as saying that Josh Freeman is now the QB to beat going into training camp. I'm not sure whether this says how good he has looked thusfar in OTA's and Mini-Camps or how average ... http://thepewterplank.com/2009/06/18/rick-stroud-calls-josh-freeman-the-qb-to-beat/ With training camp just a few weeks away, the Buccaneers QB situation is still an unknown to even those that follow the team the closest.  I have had fervent conversations with die hard Bucs fans over the past few weeks, and all seem to be split on who they want ... http://thepewterplank.com/2009/06/16/the-first-hint-at-the-buccaneers-starting-qb/ I don't have much to this post other than just reading something that had me cracking up.  I'm out of town in Louisville so this was said the other day by QB coach Greg Olson, but I had to put it up for everyone's amusement. “Byron (Leftwich) has great experience, and ... http://thepewterplank.com/2009/06/13/byron-leftwich-is-now-sluggo/ Apparently, Josh Freeman made a pass in today's OTA that had a lot of those watching as well as those on the field in awe.  It was a downfield bomb that was perfectly spiraled and perfectly on the money.  It's hard to take too much from this time of the ... http://thepewterplank.com/2009/06/11/josh-freeman-impressive-in-thursday-ota/ Fifth round selection Xavier Fulton, a T out of the University of Illinois is the first Buccaneer of the 2009 Buccaneers draft class to sign a deal.
