Bucs are locking in around one guy

 Quotes and key notes from this week

Dave canales’ first presser was one of excitement , especially for fans who had no idea about the qb situation in Tampa next season. 

Canales spoke about  a host of players but the one that caught my eye most was trask , canales said “I liked him coming out of college . The thing we’re going to help Kyle continue to build on here is to just be a point guard. Point guards dont have to be the one to score all the points , just distribute it.” 

I picked out of this that new OC canales knows Kyle trasks best chance in this league is as a pocket passer, not a scrambler or anything else. 

Canales also spoke about getting the ball away on time and not taking sacks saying “you’ve got these bears chasing you and if you don’t like (that) get the ball out of your hands”

Sounded like to me that Dave knew about the bucs struggles with pass protection and holding on too long last season. 

Arians and licht chip in- 

Bruce arians also spoke about trask this week as he was the one to draft him he was asked multiple questions , but the answer I found most important was “ I think we’re in good hands with Kyle trask , I love trask … he saw Tom work , knows how to get there and gabbert was an excellent mentor for him” this pretty much tells us Arian’s is also locked in on Kyle trask and believes he is as good an option as anyone. 

Licht also had a word or two to throw around on Kyle this week saying “I believe Kyle trask is the best in the division” , that is a huge statement from the gm but one I can live with as long as they don’t turn their back on Kyle now. 

My assessment on this : start trask this season but , make sure he has a mentor / backup capable of helping him if things go pear shaped.
