COMMENTARY               |               In               a               surprising               decision               by               embattled               coach               Greg               Schiano,               the               Mike               Glennon               era               commenced               for               the               Tampa               Bay               Buccaneers               with               Sunday's               13-10               loss               to               the               Arizona               Cardinals,               as               the               rookie               was               named               starting               quarterback               for               the               disappointing               0-4               team.

Though               Glennon               experienced               a               rocky               fourth               quarter               against               the               Cardinals,               marked               by               an               all-too-familiar               pair               of               game-changing               interceptions,               there               were               positives               during               a               debut               contest               in               which               the               rookie               completed               24               of               43               pass               attempts               and               threw               for               193               yards               and               a               touchdown.
               Depending               on               the               level               of               pessimism               in               frustrated               fans,               however,               the               move               is               more               accurately               described               as               the               end               of               the               Josh               Freeman               era.

The               fifth-year               player               did               not               dress               for               the               disheartening               defeat               and               will               likely               never               wear               the               Bucs'               colors               again.
               Dropping               the               season's               first               three               contests,               each               prior               failure               was               an               easy               opportunity               to               blame               the               club's               woeful               offense,               which               ranks               only               ahead               of               Jacksonville               as               31st               of               32               teams               in               points               scored.

While               Tampa               Bay's               defense               has               demonstrated               notable               progress,               Freeman's               performance               in               2013               could               only               be               described               as               miserable,               and               it               did               not               take               long               to               cost               his               job.
               The               Downfall               of               Josh               Freeman
               With               rumors               of               a               rift               between               Freeman               and               Schiano,               the               timing               of               the               switch               may               be               unexpected,               but               the               move               is               consistent               with               earlier               signals.

The               drafting               of               Glennon               alone               displayed               dissatisfaction,               especially               when               few               expected               the               Bucs               to               spend               a               high               pick               on               a               quarterback.

Freeman               is               already               playing               without               a               contract               for               2014               and               requested               a               trade               in               response               to               the               benching.

Schiano               may               believe               he               lost               the               locker               room               and               teammates               already               delivered               a               strong               message               by               failing               to               name               the               signal-caller               as               team               captain.
               During               Freeman's               prior               four               seasons               with               the               Bucs,               accuracy               and               turnovers               prevented               the               Kansas               State               product               from               reaching               lofty               heights               envisioned,               when               selected               in               the               first-round               of               the               2009               draft.

Regressing               after               a               solid               2010               campaign,               last               year's               54.8               completion               percentage               was               third-worst               in               the               NFL,               so               inaccuracy               in               2013               cannot               be               discounted.

In               fact,               Freeman's               45.7               percentage               is               now               dead               last               among               the               league's               quarterbacks.
               Furthermore,               with               39               total               interceptions               from               2011-2012,               Freeman               was               tied               with               Ryan               Fitzpatrick               for               the               most               picks               during               that               span.

Largely               due               to               that               tendency               for               turnovers,               the               former               Buffalo               Bills'               thrower               is               no               longer               a               starting               quarterback.

With               playoff               prospects               already               crumbling               at               0-3,               Tampa               Bay               executed               a               similar               decision.

Football               often               takes               strange               turns               and               injuries               produce               unexpected               results.

However,               most               fans               believe               they               have               seen               the               last               of               Josh               Freeman               as               a               Buccaneer.
               What               Went               Wrong               In               2013?
               Besides               inaccuracy,               the               Bucs'               passing               attack               has               been               alarmingly               predictable               through               three               contests.

Top               receivers               Vincent               Jackson               and               Mike               Williams               are               effective               weapons               and               each               has               been               rewarded               with               long-term               contracts.

Nevertheless,               Freeman               targeted               the               duo               on               a               whooping               53               of               94               pass               attempts               in               2013.

Indeed,               during               the               loss               to               the               New               York               Jets,               206               of               his               210               passing               yards               went               to               just               two               players.

Despite               limited               offensive               talent,               Freeman               made               little               effort               to               spread               the               ball               to               running               backs,               tight               ends,               and               even               other               wide-outs.
               With               a               healthy               offensive               line               actually               stepping               up,               Freeman               has               generally               been               aided               by               both               a               strong               running               attack               and               improved               protection.

Typically               wasting               several               seconds               of               solid               blocking,               the               Bucs'               quarterback               has               generally               failed               to               anticipate               the               rush.

Not               only               turnover-prone               in               such               situations,               but               his               ability               to               escape               a               crumbling               pocket               is               surprisingly               limited.
               Despite               a               sizable               6'6"               frame,               and               occasionally               demonstrating               skill               to               run,               Freeman               frustratingly               refuses               to               nurture               these               tools.

While               many               NFL               clubs               are               helped               by               mobility               from               a               modern-style               quarterback,               Tampa               Bay's               signal-caller               has               attempted               only               5               scrambles               for               20               total               yards               in               3               games.

That's               decent               production               in               a               quarter               for               the               game's               younger               passers,               such               as               Robert               Griffin               III               or               Colin               Kaepernick.
               If               Freeman               were               more               accurate,               or               protected               the               ball               with               greater               success,               fans               could               accept               his               lack               of               mobility.

Yet,               as               the               25               year-old               reaches               his               fifth               season,               evidence               is               rapidly               mounting               that               the               benched               quarterback               actually               struggles               with               each               of               these               critical               tasks.
               Who               Is               Mike               Glennon?
               Following               an               underwhelming               preseason,               few               believed               the               first-year               quarterback               was               prepared               for               such               an               opportunity.

That               said,               throwing               rookies               into               the               fire               is               increasingly               common,               and               both               Geno               Smith               and               E.J.

Manuel               started               from               day               one               in               2013.

Working               in               Glennon's               favor,               the               23               year-old               received               substantial               playing               time               during               the               summer,               as               Schiano               misguidedly               rested               Freeman               to               prevent               injury.
               During               preseason               play,               Glennon               served               as               the               Bucs'               primary               quarterback               in               3               of               4               contests,               where               he               completed               33               of               70               passes               for               a               combined               397               yards.

The               rookie               further               tossed               3               touchdowns               and               was               intercepted               4               times.

Despite               showcasing               a               capable               arm,               the               signal-caller               struggled               reading               defensive               adjustments,               and               his               accuracy               left               much               to               be               desired.

That               sure               sounds               familiar.
               A               third               round               selection               by               Tampa               Bay,               Glennon               was               scooped               up               with               the               73rd               overall               pick               and               in               April's               draft.

With               an               impressive               7,000               passing               yards               and               62               touchdowns,               Glennon               excelled               as               North               Carolina               State's               starting               quarterback               during               two               full               collegiate               seasons.

In               a               very               familiar               description,               the               6'7"               Virginia               native               is               a               strong-armed,               big               bodied               quarterback,               who               prefers               functioning               as               a               traditional               pocket               passer.
               Glennon               may               possess               the               tools               for               success,               but               those               same               words               were               written               about               Josh               Freeman               in               2009.

In               fact,               many               still               believed               that               description               to               be               accurate               until               this               very               month.

The               rookie               must               master               a               pro               style               offense,               which               emphasizes               a               running               attack               and               stretching               the               field.

While               that               challenge               is               daunting,               no               task               is               more               important               than               the               straight-froward               mission               to               avoid               untimely               mistakes.
               Whereas               Freeman               made               little               effort               to               spread               the               ball,               Glennon               must               nurture               his               weapons,               even               if               they               are               limited.

The               Bucs               do               have               one               of               the               league's               most               exciting               rushers               in               Doug               Martin               and               also               benefit               from               a               quickly               improving               defense.

These               assets               must               be               given               opportunities               to               win               games.
               Outlook               for               the               Rookie               Quarterback
               While               some               question               if               the               rookie               is               ready               to               succeed,               I'd               argue               an               0-3               record               indicated               such               a               description               already               applied               to               Josh               Freeman.

Less               than               a               month               into               the               season,               Schiano's               move               may               have               been               a               desperate               one,               but               still               may               prove               the               wisest               play               for               a               desperate               situation.
               Before               taking               the               field               against               Arizona,               Mike               Glennon               was               an               unknown               quantity.

Though               the               team               came               up               short               once               again,               progress               was               witnessed               in               the               rookie's               performance.

Unlike               his               preseason               experience,               Glennon               appeared               far               more               comfortable               leading               Tampa               Bay's               offense               against               Arizona.

The               big               guy               distributed               the               ball               to               9               different               receivers,               nurtured               a               surprising               short-passing               game,               and               even               established               chemistry               with               new               tight               end               Tim               Wright.
               History               suggests               Glennon               will               struggle               with               some               of               the               same               deficiencies               that               have               haunted               the               Bucs               for               years               and               those               late               turnovers               certainly               proved               costly.

Yet,               it               is               better               such               mistakes               occur               as               part               of               a               rookie's               growing               pains               than               a               fifth-year               player's               continual               struggles.
               Glennon's               confidence               should               be               boosted               in               knowing               his               predecessor               set               the               bar               low               for               quarterback               play               in               Tampa               Bay.

Despite               an               0-4               record,               timing               is               on               the               Bucs'               side,               as               the               club               possesses               a               bye               week               to               work               on               an               array               of               problems.
               Glennon               next               takes               the               field               for               a               contest               with               the               Philadelphia               Eagles               on               Sunday,               October               13,               at               Raymond               James               Stadium.
