This could be a good move for Leftwich. He goes to a team that doesn't look sure about it's No. 1 quarterback. He is probably looking for a chance to become a starter, and this is probably his last best chance. Best of luck to Leftwich.

He will be the starter, if he isn't I'll be shocked. He's better than anyone on the Bucs roster.
