Rick Stroud can't stop repeating a line Jalon Daniels dropped in his first press conference as the Bucs' starting quarterback: "You can't be the thermometer, you have to be the thermostat" — set the temperature in the room instead of just reading it. It's a fitting mantra for a guy about to become the first rookie quarterback to start an NFL game this season (yes, ahead of the Raiders' Heisman winner), and the only backup Tampa Bay has turned to since 'Fitzmagic' in 2018. Rick is clear-eyed about the degree of difficulty: Evan Closky's blocking cut-ups from last week were "some of the worst tape I've seen," Daniels knows far less than Baker Mayfield about getting out of bad plays, and Green Bay will blitz him mercilessly the way Minnesota did. But the Packers are deeply flawed too — patched together on the offensive line, unable to stop the run, playing in front of a fan base that's reportedly booing at Lambeau — and Rick and Steve talk through how Todd Bowles might manage Daniels' workload if the game gets away from them, plus the gut-punch injury report (six players missed Wednesday practice, including Rueben Bain Jr., Yaya Diaby, and Chris Godwin) that makes the 0-3 start look even worse in hindsight.From there, three mailbag questions: what the Bucs should do with the number one overall pick if the season ended today (take a quarterback, grab Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, or trade down for a haul), how to separate rooting for people at One Buc Place from grading Todd Bowles' performance, and whether anything short of winning can fix the "away game atmosphere" at Raymond James Stadium. Rick also vents about MLB's wild-card seeding dropping the Rays into Yankee Stadium's short porch for the ALDS, previews Drew Rasmussen's Game 1 start, and the guys close with a full NHL season-opening night: the Lightning play at the Rangers, sitting on the second-best season-opening record in NHL history, with Nikita Kucherov chasing a record fourth straight opener with multiple goals.Segments:Jalon Daniels' "thermostat, not thermometer" mentality ahead of his first NFL startThe degree of difficulty: brutal offensive line tape, a first-ever rookie starter league-wide, and how Bowles might manage his workloadInjury report fallout: six players out Wednesday, Baker Mayfield's timelineMailbag: What should the Bucs do with the number one pick — quarterback, Jeremiah Smith, or trade down?Mailbag: Separating rooting for the people at One Buc Place from grading Todd BowlesMailbag: Can anything fix the "away game" atmosphere at Raymond James?MLB wild-card fallout: Rays drawn into the Yankees' short porch for the ALDS; Rasmussen gets the Game 1 ballNHL opening night: Lightning at the Rangers, chasing franchise and Kucherov recordsSponsor: Breitling Boutique, International PlazaTimestamps:0:06 – Jalon Daniels' "thermostat, not thermometer" quote from his first presser as starter2:51 – First rookie QB to start a game anywhere in the NFL this season5:57 – The offensive line tape: "some of the worst I've seen"8:16 – How Bowles might manage Daniels if the game gets away from the Bucs13:06 – Injury report: six players miss Wednesday practice14:13 – Baker Mayfield's thumb, timeline, and the 0-3 start in context15:47 – Sponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza17:05 – MLB wild-card seeding sends the Rays into Yankee Stadium's short porch21:35 – Mailbag: Number one pick — quarterback, Jeremiah Smith, or trade down?25:31 – Mailbag: Separating the man from the job grading Todd Bowles35:26 – Mailbag: Fixing the "away game" atmosphere at Raymond James37:21 – NHL opening night: Lightning at the Rangers, Kucherov's scoring streak39:13 – Yankees beat Red Sox 9-2; Rasmussen named Rays' Game 1 starter Hosted on Acast.

Week 4 picks with pivotal games everywhere. Grant and John Browner start with Thursday's Browns-Steelers (John says this is Pittsburgh's game to lose) and the big one for LA: Rams at Eagles, with Puka Nacua expected back and the Rams favored by three on the road. John's warning: after Ben Johnson ran circles around Philadelphia, Sean McVay has to do the same or the comparisons start. Steve Cofield joins with the Patriots plus 6.5 in Buffalo on a buy-low spot, the Niners laying 2.5 against Denver, a Bucs win total he's buying even without Baker Mayfield, and a fade of the 3-0 Raiders' over 8.5. Then the AFC West: Chiefs at Raiders with both unbeatens on the line, and a Chargers offense John doesn't think gets to 17 against Seattle, because Mike McDaniel's system has never worked without elite receivers. Josh Tariff takes the Browns on Thursday night (10-2 at home on Thursdays), and before locks and shocks, John has a message for the fans sending threats and slurs to Cam Ward's family: his mother and sister don't play quarterback.

With Joe Flacco, Jameis Winston, and Jimmy Garoppolo all off the table, the Bucs' plan B for replacing Baker Mayfield is Brett Rypien — signed to the practice squad, not the active roster — while undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels makes his first career start Sunday against Green Bay. Rick Stroud lays out a sobering stat: since 2024, rookie quarterbacks are a combined 56-89, and the backup quarterbacks who've actually won games around the league this season (Case Keenum, Mac Jones, Carson Wentz, Drew Locke) all share one thing Daniels doesn't have — real NFL experience. Rick and Steve debate, half-seriously, whether a Bucs fan should even want a win right now given a stacked, quarterback-heavy draft class, before agreeing there's too much season left and too bad a division to consider punting on it. They also dig into where the blame really lies for Tampa Bay's offensive collapse — Baker's tendency to extend plays into sacks and holding penalties, Zach Robinson's predictable play-calling, an offensive line that isn't as bad as it looks — and note the one thing working: Chase McLaughlin hasn't missed a field goal all year. A mailbag question revisits why Mike Evans really left for San Francisco, and Rick makes the case that Evans saw a closer path to a Super Bowl elsewhere as his own mortality became real after his first-ever injury-shortened season.The back half looks ahead to a jam-packed week: MLB's wild-card round (Yankees leading Boston, Padres and Braves both winning thrillers), the NHL's opening night, and the Lightning's regular-season opener Thursday at the Rangers, plus a scheduling headache with the Rays' ALDS Game 1 and the Lightning's home opener both landing Saturday night. Rick and Steve also mark the sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first boat parade and pitch (not entirely jokingly) a stadium renovation tribute to Tom Brady's Super Bowl trophy toss.Segments:Jalon Daniels named starter; what backup-quarterback history says about his chances against Green BayIs the offensive line really the problem, or is it Baker Mayfield and play-calling?Mailbag: Why did Mike Evans really leave for San Francisco?MLB wild card round recap: Yankees-Red Sox, Padres-Cubs, Braves walk-off winNHL season opens; Lightning open Thursday at the Rangers, home opener collides with Rays ALDS Game 1Sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first championship boat paradeSponsor: Breitling Boutique, International PlazaTimestamps:0:09 – Bucs' backup QB plan revealed: Brett Rypien to the practice squad, Jalen Daniels named starter2:27 – Why experienced backups matter: Case Keenum's big Monday night4:15 – Rookie QBs are 56-89 since 2024; should a Bucs fan want a loss right now?7:00 – Is the offensive line really the problem, or is it Baker Mayfield and play-calling?16:23 – What Daniels has going for him: 50+ college starts, calm demeanor17:36 – Backup QBs went nearly undefeated this weekend; the risk the Bucs took at QB222:46 – Sponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza24:13 – Sixth anniversary of Tampa Bay's first championship boat parade28:33 – Mailbag: Why did Mike Evans really leave for San Francisco?33:22 – Mailbag: Where does the blame fall for the Bucs' offensive struggles?39:12 – MLB wild-card recap: Yankees-Red Sox, Padres-Cubs, Braves walk-off win40:10 – NHL season opens; Lightning-Rangers Thursday, Saturday scheduling conflict with Rays ALDS Game 1 Hosted on Acast.

Baker Mayfield's thumb injury turns out to be the good news/bad news scenario Rick Stroud feared: no torn ligaments, no broken bones, but a minimum three-week absence that wipes out Green Bay, Dallas, and Pittsburgh. That hands the offense to undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels, whose only real NFL snaps have come against players no longer on rosters. Rick shares Todd Bowles' old blitz-every-down philosophy against rookie quarterbacks and previews exactly what Green Bay's defense (and a stadium full of Packers fans) is about to do to a first-time starter, while making the case that Daniels' calm demeanor, strong arm, and accuracy give him a real shot to at least not lose the game outright. They also note the Bucs haven't had a backup quarterback start a game since 2018 — a remarkable run now over — and flag that Jalen McMillan is now out 6-8 weeks with a knee injury, thinning an already M.I.A. receiving corps even further. A Bruce Arians radio appearance imagining what he'd have done coaching Baker provides some comic relief, along with speculation (only half-joking) about Mike Tomlin as a future Bucs coaching target.On the brighter side, MLB's wild-card round tips off with the Yankees and Red Sox squaring off in a series the Rays will watch closely — whoever survives comes to Tampa Bay for the ALDS. Rick and Steve make the case that the Rays, as the AL's best regular-season team, should be favored against anyone left standing, and note a fun crowded slate on Saturday: the Lightning's home opener, the Rays' first playoff game, and Rick's daughter at her high school homecoming, all on the same night. They close with the Lightning's season opening in New York on Thursday and a rundown of their final regular-season roster moves.Segments:Baker Mayfield out a minimum three weeks; Jalon Daniels becomes the first undrafted rookie in decades to start for the BucsWhat Green Bay's blitz-heavy, hostile-crowd environment means for a first-time starterJalen McMillan's knee injury deepens the receiver shortage; the case for a Ted Hurst breakoutBruce Arians weighs in on Baker Mayfield's style of play; lighthearted coaching-search chatterMLB wild card begins: Yankees-Red Sox preview and the case for the Rays as AL favoritesBusy Saturday ahead: Lightning home opener, Rays' first playoff game, and Homecoming weekendSponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza Hosted on Acast.

The QB market has no middle class, and that is the tell that it is broken. Every starter in the league is either on a rookie deal, on journeyman money, or getting 40 million and up, with nobody sitting at the 32 million average where a normal market would put most of its players. Sam walks the value-added-per-dropback numbers through week 3 and finds Deshaun Watson, holder of arguably the worst contract in NFL history, sitting dead on the median while Justin Herbert and Baker Mayfield sit below it at 50 million plus.

Welcome back to another episode of The First Read. Week 3 of the NFL was an absolutely wild week. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens had an insane last second field goal to beat the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil. The Bills and Josh Allen survived against the Chargers. Justin Herbert and that Chargers offense really need to figure it out. Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers did just enough to beat Joe Burrow as a last second strip sack saved the day. Baker Mayfield and the Bucs did not look good as the Vikings defense dominated in Tampa. Finally, the Broncos and Rams gave us an insane finish on Sunday night as the Broncos were able to get a wild win. From Deshaun Watson silencing the haters to Marcus Mariota beating the defending Super Bowl champions, we cover every single game from the NFL Week 3 slate and give a complete breakdown on what happened.

They make the case for Cleveland as a Thursday night home underdog, weigh Buffalo’s growing spread against New England and disagree on how to approach Cowboys-Texans. Derrick Henry facing Tennessee adds another layer to Ravens-Titans, while Jaguars-Bengals quickly becomes one of their favorite games for points. The conversation also covers Kansas City’s trip to Las Vegas, Seattle hosting the Chargers and a Monday night NFC South matchup with plenty of offensive upside as the guys identify their favorite early bets across the slate.

Ken and Lima debate whether the quarterback job now belongs to Deshaun Watson, with Ken admitting he expected only a two-game stint before Shedeur Sanders took over and Lima saying a solid showing against Pittsburgh would shelve the Sanders talk until midseason. Caller Dave argues the city is intoxicated by a couple of wins and fears the Haslams could end up extending Watson. Ken and Lima concede he has a point but counter with EPA per play numbers that put Watson ahead of Baker Mayfield, C.J. Stroud, and Aaron Rodgers in a league full of shaky quarterback play.
Rick Stroud doesn't mince words: the Bucs' 0-3 loss to Minnesota is the doomsday scenario come to life. Baker Mayfield left with a bloodied, dislocated thumb on his throwing hand after holding the ball too long on a desperate fourth-down conversion attempt, and now undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels — who struggled even in preseason snaps against real competition — is set to become QB1 for a stretch that includes Green Bay and a short week in Dallas. Rick and Steve dissect just how ugly the game itself was on both sides (both offenses managed roughly 25 total yards in the second half), question why Zach Robinson's offense keeps ignoring receivers like Ted Hurst after a 40-yard touchdown catch, and openly wonder how much the Bucs are missing Mike Evans' size and catch radius. They also debate whether the Glazers would ever consider an in-season coaching change (Mike Tomlin's name comes up, mostly hypothetically), and note the silver lining: the Bucs haven't played a single divisional game yet and remain just one game out of first in a wide-open, mediocre NFC South.The mood brightens considerably from there. The Rays wrapped a historic 162-game season with Junior Caminero playing all 162 games and hitting 40-plus homers in each of his first two full seasons, and Rick and Steve preview the layoff before the ALDS, including bullpen and rotation questions that hinge on whether they draw the Yankees or Red Sox. They also look ahead to a jam-packed weekend: the Lightning's regular-season opener at the Rangers, Saturday's home opener against Washington coinciding with the Rays' first playoff game, and a loaded college football slate topped by Florida's statement win over Ole Miss and USF's 4-0 start under Brian Hartline.Segments:Bucs fall to 0-3; Baker Mayfield's hand injury and the shift to undrafted rookie Jalen DanielsBreaking down two dreadful offenses and the special-teams punt-return touchdown that decided the gameIs this a Todd Bowles problem or a talent problem? Coaching-change speculation and the "mini-bye" scenarioRays close a historic regular season — Caminero's 162-game, 40-homer year — and preview ALDS rotation questionsWeekend preview: Lightning open at the Rangers, Saturday's dual home openers, Florida's big win over Ole Miss, USF at 4-0Sponsor: Breitling Boutique, International Plaza Hosted on Acast.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 0-3 and now Baker Mayfield's health adds another major concern. Tampa falls 23-16 to the Minnesota Vikings after another frustrating performance, with Mayfield leaving injured late in the fourth quarter. Rhett Matthew and Evan Wanish break down the loss, Baker's exit and the mounting questions facing Todd Bowles and Zac Robinson. Six sacks allowed, nine punts, and a 2-for-17 afternoon on third downs tells the of story of an offense that never found consistent answers against Brian Flores.What is the first thing the Bucs need to change before facing Green Bay? Join the conversation and subscribe for more Tampa Bay Buccaneers coverage.
Baker Mayfield will miss at least three weeks, and the 0-3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers need answers fast. Can Jalon Daniels, Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving keep this offense afloat?James Hill (@MrBucsNation) joins Rhett Matthew to break down Baker's injury update, what NFL Next Gen Stats reveal about his struggles, and why Tampa Bay's offensive problems extend beyond the quarterback.We examine receiver separation, protection breakdowns, the struggling screen game and what Zac Robinson needs to change. Plus, realistic expectations for Daniels and why the Bucs' aggressive blitzing isn't producing enough pressure.
