QUESTION: Who do you assume is a greater match at QB – Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask? The group has but to determine who is best. However who’s going to suit with the bootleg, outdoors zone, movement offense Dave Canales is planning on operating?

ANSWER: My preliminary reply is Baker Mayfield. He has some expertise on this Rams/Seahawks hybrid offense that Dave Canales is putting in with the Bucs. Mayfield has some fairly good mobility to correctly execute the rollouts, bootlegs and waggles that Canales’ offense requires. That’s been the case throughout his 5 years within the NFL and it actually appears like Mayfield has sufficient pace and agility to do it within the couple of open OTA practices the media has been allowed to observe. Plus, Mayfield has the moxie and expertise the Bucs are on the lookout for.
However simply because Kyle Trask has been extra of a pocket passer and hasn’t actually functioned in an offense like this that requires a great deal of mobility doesn’t imply that he can’t do it. Trask stated he dropped 5-10 kilos this offseason and that’s on high of about 10 kilos he’s misplaced since trimming down throughout his rookie season. Trask got here out of Florida weighing 240 kilos and he’s most likely nearer to 220 kilos proper now. Let’s see how he picks up this scheme and features throughout coaching camp and the preseason.
The important thing to thriving on this offense is being correct when throwing the ball on the run. Whoever masters that skill this summer season and does one of the best job defending the soccer will win the beginning quarterback job. I nonetheless preserve that Baker Mayfield is the present chief within the QB competitors resulting from his expertise, however this battle has simply begun.
QUESTION: What a practical variety of wins and/or season efficiency for Baker Mayfield to be this group’s QB sooner or later?

ANSWER: Good query, however a tricky one to reply. Baker Mayfield might have an impressive season – one thing like 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and over 4,000 yards – but when the group doesn’t play nicely sufficient round him, particularly on protection, it won’t matter. If the Bucs wind up with a shedding file in Todd Bowles’ second season as head coach there might be a regime change, and a brand new head coach would possibly need to draft or signal his personal quarterback.
I feel if the Bucs win 9 video games, it needs to be considered as progress for Bowles, particularly in a transition yr to a brand new offensive scheme with a brand new beginning quarterback firstly of the post-Tom Brady period in Tampa Bay. Whether or not or not the Bucs win the division, successful 9 video games or extra ought to guarantee Bowles sticks round for an additional season – until Tampa Bay races out to one thing like a 7-2 begin after which finishes the season 2-6 down the stretch and actually loses momentum.
If Baker Mayfield wins the beginning job and leads the group to 9 wins or extra, I feel he’s re-signed until he actually struggles with turnovers. The very best statistic quarterbacks are related to is wins. The extra victories Mayfield can pile up, the longer he’ll keep in Tampa Bay.
QUESTION: Do you assume Leonard Fournette regrets his request to be launched? There doesn’t seem like any curiosity within the 28-year previous operating again who lacked explosiveness final yr.

ANSWER: Leonard Fournette could have requested his launch, however that was simply to avoid wasting face publicly as a result of he knew he was going to be lower by the Bucs resulting from his ineffectiveness and for wage cap causes. It’s sort of like the worker who is aware of he’s going to be fired however beats the employer to the punch and says, “I stop!” first.
No one in the suitable thoughts would consider that Fournette – or any NFL operating again – would need to stroll away from making $7 million per yr. Operating backs are underpaid as it’s, and with Fournette within the twilight of his profession, the one cause why he would need to depart Tampa Bay is for extra money elsewhere. And Fournette not getting any motion in free company and the truth that he’s nonetheless unsigned is proof that the Bucs did the suitable factor.
Fournette doesn’t remorse his request to be launched as a result of he didn’t have a alternative. He knew the Bucs had been going to chop him. Fournette will doubtless have to attend till a operating again will get damage in coaching camp or the preseason to have an opportunity to latch on elsewhere on an affordable, one-year deal.
QUESTION: Can a defensive-minded head coach achieve success with out a franchise QB these days? Even a terrific coach like Invoice Belichick struggles with out Tom Brady. I see a tricky season incoming.
Bucs HC Todd Bowles – Picture by: Cliff Welch/PR
ANSWER: I feel any group with out a franchise quarterback will wrestle within the modern-day NFL – no matter who the top coach is. The quarterback place is that necessary in at present’s recreation. Out of the 32 present head coaches within the league, solely 11 are defensive-minded head coaches.
Houston’s DeMeco Ryans and Arizona’s Jonathan Gannon are new hires, and be part of the likes of New England’s Invoice Belichick, Pittsburgh’s Mike Tomlin, Seattle’s Pete Carroll, Los Angeles’ Brandon Staley, New York’s Robert Saleh, Tennessee’s Mike Vrabel, Washington’s Ron Rivera, New Orleans’ Dennis Allen, and naturally Tampa Bay’s Todd Bowles. Belichick, Tomlin and Carroll have all gained Tremendous Bowls – albeit with nice quarterbacks.
The problem with having a defensive-minded head coach is that the NFL prefers hiring younger, offensive-minded coaches. So let’s say Dave Canales’ offense actually takes off, and in two years he’s employed to be a head coach elsewhere. Now the onus is on Bowles to seek out one other actually good offensive coordinator.
Offensive-minded head coaches who name their very own performs don’t have to fret about that, and quarterback/play-caller continuity has a larger probability of succeeding over the lengthy haul consequently. Look no additional than the times of Sean Payton and Drew Brees in New Orleans, for instance.
