The Facts:
The offseason began with speculation and reports that Greg Schiano did not see Freeman as the Buccaneers' long-term answer at quarterback. In the months since, Schiano has done his best to shoot down that line of thinking. The coach has spoken positively about Freeman's progress, and he did it again Monday when NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano asked Schiano who his quarterback is. "We only have one," Schiano said on "NFL Total Access." "It's Josh Freeman."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Bucs selected Mike Glennon in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, but it has become apparent there will be no quarterback battle come training camp. "I believe in competition, and Mike Glennon is going to be a tremendous quarterback in his time," Schiano said. "But we have a quarterback, it's Josh Freeman. ... I know Mike Sullivan, our offensive coordinator, he's encouraged. We're looking forward to big things. Josh is going to have a big year. ..." As NFL.com's Dan Hanzus suggested, "it's put up or shut up time for Freeman, who is entering the final year of his contract and probably will be elsewhere next year if he doesn't develop into a more consistent player."
