Todd Bowles on the Bucs QB situation: ‘We don’t have a starter right now’

We may not know anytime soon who the Buccaneers quarterback will be. In fact, head coach Todd Bowles won’t either. But that’s because they are creating an environment where the competition between Kyle Trask and veteran Baker Mayfield should tell the story.

That’s essentially what Bowles said recently when appearing on The Rich Eisen Show as he was asked about Mayfield, Trask and the competition for the starting quarterback spot.

“Yes, it is a competition. We don’t have a starter right now,” said Bowles. “We know Baker has played in games and Trask has not, but we’ve watched Trask over the years and we like some of the things he does, and we’re going to give him the chance to play and compete and see who comes out.
