Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#24)

Found September 11, 2013 on The Football Fan Spot:
PLAYERS: Josh Freeman,  Mike Glennon,  Donald Penn,  Darrelle Revis,  Doug Martin,  Gabe Carimi,  Davin Joseph
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I said before the season that I didn’t think Josh Freeman would last the season in Tampa Bay. I’m even more confident in that now. This week, they took his captaincy away. That’s incredibly rare. I’ve never heard of that happening. Quarterbacks aren’t always a captain on a team, but once a player is captain, he usually stays captain as long as he’s with the team. On top of that, he struggled mightily against the Jets in an eventual loss, completing just 15 of 31 for 210 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. He’ll have better games, but the Buccaneers coaching staff didn’t draft him and they just seem fed up with his inconsistency. Mike Glennon will see a few starts.
