Shaun King, a former Bucs quarterback and lifelong fan, is speaking out against the team's performance, particularly the effort and performance of the players. King believes the Bucs have too many overpaid players who are not delivering the expected results. He expressed his frustration during an interview with The Coach JB Show, stating that the defense's lack of effort is concerning. King highlighted a recent game where the Bucs were leading 28-14, yet they still managed to lose, making Kyle Pitts look like a prime Tony Gonzalez. This performance, according to King, could lead to Todd Bowles' firing. King also criticized Baker Mayfield's recent poor play, suggesting he's been pressing and becoming inaccurate. He believes Mayfield's discomfort in the pocket is a result of his own actions. King's comments have sparked debate, as former players questioning current players' effort can drive significant changes within the team, including coaching staff.
