Mike Evans Speaks Out About Bucs’ QB Competition

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have found themselves in the heat of a quarterback competition.

After Tom Brady retired for a second time, they were forced to move on from the future Hall of Famer.

Buccaneers fans have been anxiously awaiting the team’s decision on the starter, and they’re not the only ones.

After a recent joint practice, Mike Evans voiced his frustration with the organization.

Per Mike Florio via Pro Football Talk, “We want to know who the starter’s going to be, you know, soon,” Evans said.

Without knowing the starter, it’s difficult for receivers like Evans to fully establish rapport.

Quarterbacks must be in sync with their receivers.

Without that connection, it could lead to a sloppy start for the Buccaneers, especially if they flip-flop on this position.

As the age-old saying goes, “If you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterback.”

Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask are currently fighting for this role.

While Mayfield does have a leg up on Trask given his career experience, the team did use second-round capital on Trask.

They’re faced with a difficult decision moving forward.

However, with less than a month to go until the regular season begins, they are running out of time.

Plus, if Evans is showing signs of public frustration, what does that say about the team’s current locker room situation?

Other players likely feel the same way, which could lead to problems during the season.

When will the Buccaneers make this decision, pleasing Evans and the rest of his teammates?
