Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach Might Quarantine 3rd QB

-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians showed great forward-thinking when he was recently on Chris Long’s Green Light with Chris Long podcast. He was asked about quarantining a quarterback, and he said it’s in his decision process and something he will decide in the next two to three weeks.

Although Tom Brady is new to Tampa Bay and the offensive system, both of his backups are familiar with the offense and terminology. Arians is happy to have two backups who at least knows the offense and can step in from a mental standpoint without a ton of extra practice time or attention.

The thought of keeping either Gabbert or Griffin away from Brady would be so if two quarterbacks were to test positive for the coronavirus they may need to be quarantined for 14 days. If this happens, at least the team would have a third quarterback already on the roster who would at least not already be considered to be at huge risk and should be quarantined as well. If this were the case, the team wouldn’t have to be put in the position of signing a free agent off of the street.

Since we are unsure of what may happen when pro sports are active and experience positive tests, this kind of thinking is something teams can use to give them a bit of an advantage.

Third-string quarterbacks rarely practice outside of possibly scout team reps, so if the Buccaneers were to keep Griffin out of physically attending quarterback meetings and maybe practicing away from the other two quarterbacks, then it may not be too much of a detriment to his preparation.

It may not be the best option for a coach or a team but the coronavirus has not given us many great options to choose from anyway. What he have learned is sometimes you have to choose from the best of the bad or undesirable options.

What do you think?

The Brandon Davies Controversy

-
It was announced on earlier this week that Brigham Young University was suspending starting forward Brandon Davies for what they called a violation of the school's honor code. Most people have sided against the school and have argued to defend Davies even though he is not complaining or seeking help himself. I believe that BYU did the right thing here. Apparently Davies' indiscretion is no different than what many young American males do while in college, which is having pre-marital sex with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, for a BYU student, this is something that is not taken lightly at all. BYU is a private school that upholds the Mormon religious practices of the Church of the Latter-day Saints. The honor code is something that they have always taken seriously and it is only now getting in the news because of this highly publicized situation. Students are aware of this code when they attend the school, and the actually have to sign a contract to uphold the code before attendi

Is Lebron Worth It?

-
Lebron James is a man and phenomenon all wrapped into one. He is the most buzz worthy and marketable basketball player since Michael Jordan. Lebron was on the cover of Sports Illustrated as a senior in high school way back in 2002, and the hype machine has only been spun into greater motion since then. His impending free agency has been a topic of conversation since 2007, and now that it is finally almost here, it seems to have grown into THE sports story of the year. Most people wonder where he will and who will win the Lebron sweepstakes, but I feel like the big question is this: is he really worth it? No matter where he goes, he will have more money than most of us can ever dream of and that is just in his first season. “King James” can either stay with his current team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, for a maximum contract of six years and $125.5 million or sign with another team for a maximum contract of five years and $96.1 million which is a salary drop that I would love to be ab

Should the Tennessee Titans Sign Tom Brady?

Tom Brady is perhaps the most intriguing free agent quarterback situation since Peyton Manning left the Indianapolis Colts. Although he has spent his entire 20 year career with the Patriots, it has been considered a realistic possibility that Brady is taking his first true free agent experience seriously. The thought of Brady finishing his career playing for someone other than New England once seemed preposterous, but now it feels like this potential reality may only be a matter of waiting for the opening of the new NFL league year. While making an appearance on Adam Schefter’s podcast, fellow ESPN reporter Jeff Darlington named the Titans as the leader to sign Brady for next season. The potential of Brady signing with the Titans does make some sense. Mike Vrabel is a former teammate and is a known Brady friend. This would give a level of comfort for Tom that he might not even have with the Patriots. Tennessee also provides a potentially strong market for Brady’s ever expanding
