The Tampa Buccaneers are one of the many teams in the NFL trying to start from the ground up and rebuild their franchise. After the Super Bowl win in 02' the Buccaneers haven't had much success. The Bucs best season since winning the Super Bowl came in 05' when they finished 11-5 but lost to the Washington Redskins in the first round. Tampa Bays offense in 09' is abysmal scoring barely 13 points per game.
The old saying is that if you have two quarterbacks you have no quarterbacks - that is the case with the Bucs. Byron Leftwich and Josh Johnson are average QB's at best, no much more. As the starting QB Leftwich is completing less then 56% on his passes with a QB rating in the low 70's. the receivers for the Bucs won't put up big numbers in defense of Leftwich.
RB Cadillac Williams was a rising star in the NFL a few seasons ago. In 05' Williams ran for over 1,100 yards in 14 games but injuries have put his progression as a RB on hold. 07' - 08' Williams only played in 10 games, scored 7 touchdowns and rushed for 441 yards.
The main WR on the Bucs is Kellen Winslow - who in his best year in 07' caught for over 1,000 yards with 5 touchdowns for the Cleveland Browns.
The Bucs play in the NFC South, which has a different winner every year. The Bucs won't be contending for a division title in 09' but hopefully they can find some sort of offense as the years progresses. The Bucs defense is one of the worst in the league - if not THE worst - the Bucs have given up more the 30 points more times then many teams give up the entire season. It will be a long season for the Bucs in 09'.
