Buccaneers Name QB Byron Leftwich Their Starter

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris informed his team this morning that Byron Leftwich beat out Luke McCown for the starting quarterback job, FOXSports.com has learned. The move does not come as a surprise as Leftwich had been the odds-on favorite. However after early performances by Leftwich, 29, and fellow veteran Luke McCown, Morris decided to wait one more preseason game for one of the quarterbacks to clearly take the job or clearly stumble.

No shocker here.

 

yeah, took way too long to make a very easy call.

 

Good choice

 

I went to school with Luke and was hopping he was going to win. I have to say I watched some of the games and was not impressed with either one all that much.

 

duh, called this one too

 

Was waiting for this.

 

Leftwich didn't earn the job he just didn't do anything to lose it. He was the clear cut favorite ever since he signed.

 

and for good reason.
