We can't draw any conclusions on either Mankins or Wright at this point.
I personally was in the camp that if you took Mankins' name off his jersey, no one would have been upset about the actual player the Pats traded away. It was a more an emotional response than judging by his play on the field.
That all said, Mankins was injured last week and probably wasn't playing at 100%. I think Bucs fans may end up being underwhelmed by what Mankins give them, but I wouldn't make a judgement after two weeks.
