I’m Okay with McBackup

The way things are looking now, it doesn’t seem likely that Jeff Garcia will play on Sunday. Luke McCown, the third stringer, has been taking a majority of the snaps in practice this week. While I feel down that the Bucs might not have their leader, I’m okay with McCown starting. No decision has been made yet. While McCown has only played 6 games in his 4 year NFL career, I think that he could be effective. He’s only played one game as a Buccaneer, not proving much. But then I think of a certain someone named Tim Rattay, who came in last season, and all but gave the Bucs a spark. I’m hoping McCown can do the same thing, at least until Garcia is healthy. Not that I have anything against Bruce Gradkowski, but he has failed to show me anything in his two years here. I’m still hoping Garcia is good to go, as I can’t see anybody leading this team like him. But if it comes down to it, I want the Louisiana Tech grad to get the chance.
