Quarterbacks

Jameis Winston

Mike Glennon

There’s not a whole lot of surprise here at the quarterback position as the Buccaneers will carry three of them into the regular season.

Jameis Winston would have had to throw nothing but interceptions to lose the starting job – which he didn’t – so he’ll of course lead the team in every sense of the word for 2016.

Glennon has been a hot topic as of late especially with Vikings starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater going down for the year. Good luck to “Teddy Two-Gloves” on his return, but for Minnesota fans I say, Mike doesn’t need to go anywhere.

Dallas showed all franchises why a solid backup option is so valuable in today’s passing league so anything short of a first-round pick shouldn’t warrant moving Glennon before this season’s trade deadline.

Ryan Griffin is the backup to be of course. With Glennon’s contract coming up most expect the one-time starter to find “greener” pastures and “jet” off to another franchise next year.

While Griffin certainly didn’t do what Dak Prescott was able to accomplish this pre-season, he still looks up to the task of taking over second duties in 2017 making him way to value to lose this year.

So nothing big to take note of here as this franchise seems to be stacked pretty solid at quarterback for the first time in the team’s history.
