Has Jalon Daniels’ back.
People who think the season is over now that the Bucs are starting an undrafted rookie quarterback today are thinking backwards.
Who says this? Chucky says this.
The first coach who guided the Bucs to a Super Bowl win, Chucky, has Jalon Daniels’ back. While folks may think the Bucs are doomed after starting 0-3, Chucky is looking at it like Daniels just might be the right guy to kickstart the Bucs’ offense today.
“You know, a lot of people are like, ‘Woe is me! We got a rookie, undrafted quarterback playing for us. Woe is me!’
“You know, you can look at it like that, and I’m sure Daniels can look at it like, ‘Man, that’s a big burden on my shoulders.’ I don’t think so.
“You can also look at it like this: What a freaking opportunity! This is this is the opportunity of a lifetime.”
Besides, Chucky said, the Bucs’ offense with Baker Mayfield was downright ghastly last week. Maybe the Bucs need someone different like Daniels to mix things up and light a fire under some people.
“Hell, they weren’t lighting it up with Baker Mayfield at quarterback,” Chucky said. “They were turning the ball over. They turned it over seven times. They have had eight holding calls, 13 sacks [and had a] hard time putting it in the end zone.
“Maybe this kid can give the Buccaneers a spark that they need to wake this team up.”
Backup quarterbacks starting games this season are 6-0. And in recent years, undrafted rookie Qbs have strung together wins.
So could Daniels lead the Bucs to an upset today? Joe’s seen stranger things.
