The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a plethora of quarterbacks under contract, but Luke McCown believes he's got the coolest hand of them all.
And despite the presence of recently signed, proven veteran Byron Leftwich, McCown - who signed a new deal himself in February - declared emphatically Tuesday that the starting job is his to lose.
"Absolutely," McCown said, according to the St. Petersburg Times. "This has been a long time coming for me and I'm not letting anybody take it from me. And it's the first legitimate opportunity. Say what you want about getting three starts at the end of a season [two, in 2007].
"But this is my first real opportunity to be the starter, to be the guy. And I look at it as mine and you're going to have to shoot me."
So wait, is he saying that since he is the starting QB, we should shoot him? Or is he implying that the only way he will not be the Bucs QB is if he is shot?
Either way, can someone get on this?

I still see Josh Freeman starting week 9 and here's why:
Cowboys, Bills, Giants, Redskins, Eagles, Panthers, Patriots, Bye.
Are you serious, schedule makers? The NFC South plays both the AFC East and NFC East?
I suppose their easiest game will come against the team everyone is picking as a sleeper... Seattle... away.
We should have snatched up Dan Orlovsky when given the chance.
