Sad, but not unexpected considering the competition. Looking forward to Freeman in week 10, maybe sooner. Sorry if my optimism is underwhelming.

We better hope our O-Line blocks for him...

The way this whole QB situation was dealt with was very underwhelming. Particularily the final choice.

I hope not. The guy struggled against 3rd stringers.
I thought McCown slightly outplayed Leftwich. Like most QB battles the coaches have a prefered winner and he has to really get beat for him to lose the job.

Our OL blocked extremely well for him in the preseason. He still completed about 1/2 of his passes and took WAY too long to deliver the ball.
McCown, on the other hand, had no time to throw in the 3rd game and was completely out of rhythm.

AT least with Leftwich starting we have a better shot at locking up Gerald McCoy.

Tell me about it. He just can't get rid of the ball quick enough. Thank god our O-Line isn't rubbish because we'd give up way too many sacks.

it's not good when our starting QB can't hit wide open recievers, as Leftwich showed us in the Miami game

At least our receivers are open....Stovall is a baller.
I'm just worried that our #2 WR is Michael Clayton. Even if Leftwich hits him with an accurate ball in the chest, odds are against him catching it. If he couldn't handle Garcia's ball....

I just wish he could learn to put a little bit of touch on the ball. He could actually be decent then.
Not a big deal really, just a temporary fill-in for us until Freeman is eventually thrown to the dogs.
The Eric Berry in '10 campaign is underway
