So much has changed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers franchise over the course of the last year. Long time team owner Marc Glazer passed away on May 18 of this year just as the team put in place a new General Manager, Jason Licht and a new Head Coach, Lovie Smith. Add in a new starting quarterback in Josh McGowen and this could prove to be an interesting year for the Bucs.

Prepare for the New Buccaneers
Good or bad, massive change has taken place during the off season for the Tampa Bay Bucs. New General Manager (Jason Licht) new Head Coach(Lovie Smith), new Quarterback (Josh McCowen), new uniforms, and a roster that has little resemblance to last season’s.
With so many questions about what the team will actually be able to do, one has been quietly answered in the off season. That is, the quarterback position.
“McCown looks like he’s played a couple of years in this game,” Anthony Casillas said . “It’s a strong comparison, but he reminds me of Drew (Brees), not just the way he throws the ball, but his approach to the game. The first one in, the last one out, he’s always around. He’s very communicable, very personable. And you can tell he’s a born leader.
Another notable change for the offense will be the running game, which ranked last in total offense in the league last season. The team is currently carrying six running backs including two rookies including Brenden Bigelow and Charles Sims.
