Youth

While the experience is a major factor, let’s not forget how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will use their youth as a driving force by pairing the old vets such as Brady and Gronk with the likes of Lavonte David, Mike Evans, and Chris Godwin.

Even with Winston at the helm, the Bucs were an offensive juggernaut ranking 1st in passing yards and 4th in passing touchdowns. Brady should be just as good or if not better leading the offense. With the New England Patriots, Brady had great chemisrty with his receivers who were mostly vets. Now, armed with young legs, Brady may have the best season of his career even as he gets up there in age.

While the Carolina Panthers have youth on their side, their talent level is not on par with the Bucs. The Atlanta Falcons have the veterans and experience as well but can they be trusted to make a run? The New Orleans Saints are a veteran team with youth mixed in and will be the toughest battle for the Bucs this season.
