    You never really know. Like was mentioned earlier, the Texans took Mario over Bush (who was the viewed as the #1 prospect by a lot of people) and over VY who was the #1QB AND from Texas ... seemed like a perfect fit for them at the time.

    I know I was very surprised when they didn't take either of those 2 guys. So the Bucs could do anything really.

    A lot of people think that having Mett would keep us from drafting a 1st rd QB this year, why can't the same be said about Glennon (A guy that some people want us to trade for). Maybe they see some hope in Glennon and want to take Leonard Williams 1st while giving Glennon another shot.

    The owner ship already signed off on Mariota and Winston to be the #1 pick, so Mariota could be that guy as well. Its possible that they just like Mariota better. Maybe they like the extra dynamic he brings.

    The point is, no matter what we think is right or what the media keeps saying, we never know what is going on in someone else's head. It is possible that they draft Mariota or LW over Winston.

    They've been shopping Glennon since they drafted him. They have no hope for the guy.

    He did show some promise, not sure why not keep him and worst case he's a back-up or serviceable if Winston goes down. Not sure they will get a 3rd for him.

    I think they've killed his value.

    They never really gave him a fair shake. Started some games as a rookie. Played ok. Then they bring in McCown and immediately name him the starter the moment they sign him.

    They clearly have no faith in the guy. Getting anything over a fifth would be astounding.

    Its not like they are eager to get rid of him ... they are asking for a 3rd round pick. I'm sure if someone offered us a 3rd for Mett we would take it.

    I mean if you are the bucs, then you have a few options. If you are looking at drafting a QB, then you might as well trade Glennon and pick up an additional pick.

    All I am saying though is that they have more reason to have hope in Glennon than the Titans do in Mett ... Yet many here are ready to pass on Winston and Mariota to give Mett another shot. I wouldn't be surprised if some in the Bucs organization feel the same way toward Glennon.

    I am not making the case for Glennon or for the Bucs to pass Winston, just saying we never know and crazier things have happened.

    I'm sure we would, but nobody will offer a 3rd for Glennon or Mett.
    So who backs Winston up? Lobata? I don't even know who that is lol

    I heard McClain on the zone this week and he said he thinks TB will take Winston, but then he was asked if there was any chance they don’t and he said two things make him think it’s possible they pass on him. One, is that when Lovie Smith was asked about Mariota he put in a subtle jab at Winston’s off the field issues. Lovie said “Mariota is great on and off the field.”

    I can’t remember his second point at the moment, but it was actually better than that one.

    The Bucs were gushing over winston after the pro day though. They don't really have much reason for smoke screen I wouldn't think
