    Well Jeff Fisher hated the VY pick from day-1 so its plausible.

    2009 was also 1 year after VY had his meltdown so it definitely was a consideration I would think

    I think the plan was to develop him as a backup

    just like trent richardson is on the browns tickets :) The bucs did this to themselves, schiano needs to go! The bucs should have beat the jets if they dont hit the guy out of bounds putting the jets in fg territory. They also had a good chance vs the saints but brees does what he does and only one team can win. Bucs made a huge mistake with schiano and letting him call the shots.

    According to several articles I've read, Freeman wasn't a good leader and had lost the locker room. Here's a link to one of the articles: http://tampa.cbslocal.com/2013/09/2...room-players-will-not-revolt-against-schiano/

    Also, I think it says a lot that his teammates didn't vote for him to be team captain. When a quarterback isn't voted to be a team captain, something's wrong. Pair the lack of leadership, the lack of confidence from his teammates, and his sub-par play and it's not a surprise he was benched.

    And yes, the Titans were interested in Freeman in 2009 and had him in for a visit. I think it's a bit far fetched to say the Titans wanted to draft him. For all we know, the Titans might have crossed him off their list after his visit.
