That didn't take long. A season of hope has already turned into a season of doubt, and it took only two games. Forget the controversial final play Sunday and all the injuries that have piled up so far. The bottom line is the Bucs are 0-2 against a backup quarterback and a backup to a backup quarterback. And both losses came at home.
Those other teams' backup quarterbacks have outplayed the Bucs' career backup who is posing as a starter this season with Tampa Bay. Josh McCown threw another costly and boneheaded pick Sunday to go along with the two what-is-he-thinking interceptions he threw in Week 1.
The Rams looked decent Sunday, but let's not forget that they were coming off a 34-6 home pounding to a Vikings team that went out and got smashed themselves at home, 30-7 to the Patriots. Now come the real quarterbacks, such as Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and Joe Flacco. It's foolish to think that Bucs coach Lovie Smith was going to turn around a four-win team right away, but you can't be 0-2 in this scenario.
