ohn McNulty heard a lot of things about Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman before becoming his fourth position coach in five years and nearly all was good, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "Honestly, there's not one person that said, "Good luck with him,'' said McNulty, who coached quarterbacks last season for the Arizona Cardinals. "Everybody has said, "I'll take him. You don't want him? I'll take him.' And that's guys who have good quarterbacks and guys who are struggling.'' "The biggest thing was his command and control of the offense, that's what I told him befor this off-season,'' McNulty said. "And so far on the field and in the meetings with the players, he's demonstrated that with the players and it's not B.S., you can't fake it. I mean, he has to have it. And I think he's demonstrated that on the field so far. Freeman is in the final year of his contract and facing what many consider a make-or-break year with the Bucs. "I know this, there are a lot of guys who would take him today,'' McNulty said. "Everbody I talk to says he's tremendously talented, a great person, footbally savvy, will do anything you ask him to do and just really needs to have a chance to have a consistent structure around him as far as his system, his coaches and people he can kind of rely on, the players he's playing with, all that. If that can kind of line up, and really, that kind of goes for anybody. But he's kind of caught a lot of the flack for that.'' TheRedZone.org
I'm sure he does have a great rep with all of the DB's in the league. They all love playing against the guy. Who the hell wouldn't?
I've met the fool. He's not a sharpest knife in the drawer. "Two and a half years in college was two and a half to many." "I max bench 500." He makes good trade bait if he can't elevate his play this year. Really wish we hadn't wasted that 3rd round pick on Glennon. Would've loved to have snagged hometown boy Aaron Murray in the 2014 draft
