After spending two decades as the face of the New England Patriots, Tom Brady decided to head down to Tampa Bay to presumably finish his career as the Buccaneers’ signal caller.
Unlike the offensive weaponry he had to work with in New England, Brady will have a handful of elite skill position players around him in Tampa. Brady’s top two options on the outside, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, both went over 1,000 yards receiving and found the end zone a combined total of 17 times in 2019.
Bruce Arians’ offense was a top-5 unit last season, finishing the year second in total yards (6,648) and third in total touchdowns (48). Not many elite offenses make a change at the quarterback position after finishing with such elite numbers the year prior. Brady will not only bring leadership and pedigree to the Bucs offense, he’ll also bring a certain level of effeciency that the Bucs offense sorely lacked last season.
Last year’s starter, Jameis Winston, threw a league high 30 interceptions in 2019. You’d have to combine Brady’s last five years’ worth of interceptions to eclipse 30 total.
