ESPN's Ron Jaworski believes that the Buccaneers having to play from behind has contributed to Josh Freeman's struggles, and hasn't lost faith in him as a franchise quarterback despite his regression this season.
"He has taken a step back this year, but quarterbacks usually get too much credit and too much blame,'' said Jaworski. "He's having to play too often from behind, his receivers aren't doing a great job of getting open and Tampa Bay's run game is inconsistent...I am still a firm believer in the guy. He's going to be one of the great quarterbacks in this league. There's an ebb and flow in every quarterback's career, and Josh Freeman will get over this.''
