Josh Freeman limited in practice with shoulder injury

While everyone focused on the thumb cut Freeman suffered five weeks ago and which has long since healed, there was apparently a much more recent injury to worry about. Josh Freeman suffered a right shoulder injury on the final play of the game against the Tennessee Titans, and that injury prevented him from throwing today. While it looks like he will be able to play on Sunday, this injury sure won't help his accuracy.
Speaking of his accuracy, Freeman looked absolutely horrible throwing the football against the Tennessee Titans. I'm pretty sure the weather conditions had something to do with that, but very few of his balls were actually on-target. Most fluttered behind or ahead of receivers. While Freeman has demonstrated the ability to be a very accurate quarterback in the past, he has suffered from intermittent accuracy issues all season.
With none of the receivers playing well and all of them struggling to catch routine balls let alone poorly thrown passes, it's not a good time for Josh Freeman to throw inaccurate passes. And that shoulder injury won't help him get back on track.

Must have hurt that shoulder when he was throwing the game away on that last play.
Thanks. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.

He needs to make sure the next time he fires a 12 gauge shotgun
that he holds it tight against his shoulder. Good way to F up your shoulder!!! Kids, you have to teach them everything.

Thumbgate
I’m surprised someone hasn’t blamed the shoulder injury on the gun range/thumb incident.
RAHEEM IS A JOKE! OLSON IS GARBAGE! THE GLAZERS SUCK!

I said it on the ESPN blogs and I'll say it again
When I heard about Free hurting his thumb on the firing range, all I could think of was a manic Freeman rapid-firing while muttering “That one looks like Olson. [BLAM] And that one looks like Olson. [BLAM] And those ones look like Olson! [BLAMBLAMBLAM]”
A defense ranked #31 does not inspire confidence in one's defensive coordinator. Any head coach knows this: own up to it, Raheem- hire a full time DC and put your full focus on ONE of your jobs.
He must be a terrible shot!! Lol

Bad year for Bucs fans
We will be back, just not as quickly as last year led us on to believe.
We are a bad team right now. There is nothing good so far about this year is that we will “suck for right after Luck”.
We need to win the draft this year, and sprinkle in some veteran leadership.
Freeman just needs a Sproles type “dump it off” kind of back ( A water bug?)
Secondly, I would love to see Del Rio come on to be our D coordinator.
Do you think Tebow’s success had anything to do with the move to fire Del Rio?

I think its more of the "New Owner, New Coach, = New Beginnings" thingy...
… and Del Rio did build a pretty good DEF in JAX. Certainly better than ours of late.
i would agree we need some veteran leadership.
and freeman does need that dump it off back. and one htat can pick up some blocks too. i miss caddy.
Get it to Winslow. He's open!!!!
Agreed....
Dont miss caddy anymore though.

he might have been the key to frees success
he was his security blanket
Get it to Winslow. He's open!!!!
everyone says freemans in a slump
but how long are slumps supposed to last? this is the 1 guy that I thought we wouldnt need to worry about for the next 10 years that is quickly changing

Freeman is still developing

Without a good QB coach and OC to develop him...
he could end up being one of those “potential” guys that never really panned out. That elite quality doesn’t always reside within the player himself – Montana and Young had Bill Walsh to fill their heads.
We need somebody here, better than our current staff, to coach him up. If you were a good OC or QB coach, would you want to play for a young know-it-all HC teetering on getting fired?
Me neither…
we need veteran leadership at the most crucial spot, the head coaching spot
young team with a young inexperienced head coach is not a good thing. get Del Rio over here and lets start over

Weather has nothing to do with his accuracy.
He’s been inaccurate all season. he couldnt even hit his target in the gun range.
Get it to Winslow. He's open!!!!
No doubt..
Del Rio as what? HC? no way. DC maybe!

Sure
But it was worse this game than in any other game. And that a week after he finally had a good game in terms of accuracy (think he had three this year: two Saints games and the Packers game).
