Wow. That didn't take long. Leftwich had 2 good starts and then an awful start when the entire team was shut down. Johnson comes in and goes 4/10 for 36 yards and they make a change? I hope Morris shows more patience when Freeman finally gets his chance.

Bump Bryant??

pregunta buena.did anyone watch bryant specifically to see how his endurance was yesterday?

Why? I can't think of any reason to bump Bryant other than unrelated health improvements. Leftwich throws a very good deep ball and has proven that he can produce fantasy wise in the NFL. Johnson has a total of 10 passes in his NFL career seeing his first ever action yesterday. Why would this information bump Bryant?two_dollars said:

I was actually questioning myself for bothering to keep Josh Johnson on my taxi squad in my dynasty league a month ago.

I went and checked out the Bucs message board and the fans there are thrilled with the move. In a nut shell, they think rebuilding should start now and that they wanted Johnson to get a shot before the reigns where passed from Leftwich to Freeman, bypassing Johnson. I guess it makes sense in that light. If the Bucs wait for another 5-7 weeks and then start Freeman, they never really get a look at Johnson who has shown some potential.
EDIT to add: Of course this begs the question, why bring in Leftwich in first place if this is the plan?

As with many coaching staffs, they overestimated the team's ability to compete this year and went with the guy who gave them the best chance to win this year rather than someone with the best chance to develop.

I don't agree with that, I think it was a fine decision on Tampa's part to go into the season and try to win now, just look at Miami last season and Pennington vs. Henne. Now, we're 3 weeks deep, it's evident they can't compete, so might as well look toward the future, good timing on the move imho.
Huh, sooner than expected. What do people think this does to Bryant's and Winslow's values? I was happy (until week 3) with Leftwich in there from a fantasy perspective, we'll have to wait and see with Johnson...guess it can't be worse than week 3. How about TB RB value? Will Johnson's throws be limited and will they rely on the running game more?

Crud......I picked up Leftwich last week for River's bye week 5. He was the only starting QB available.

I'm trying to figure out where it is that we don't agree . . .
Fine spot start. Threat to run (and very fast/elusive in open field), great touch on deep passes on only drive. Took a hit to convert fourth down, seemed to be a quick thinker, solid field vision. A little antsy in red zone, needs to take something off short passes, but for limited sample in garbage time, seemed promising.
