Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted March 17, 2020 Sorry to see TB12 leave. He was great here for 20 years. Neither of my kids have experienced a Patriots team without him on it (I don't count 2008). He was great for the team and great for the city. It just wasn't going to work in the team's current configuration and with his desires to explore free agency. I will wish him well in Tampa as I hope that his legacy is not tarnished like an old Willie Mays. Do people remember Michael Jordan playing for the Wizards? I do hope that he signs for eleventy billion dollars including a portion of the team, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,890 Posted March 17, 2020 Not sure I love this move for the Bucs. Brady is pretty much a league average starter now with no upside and maybe 2 years in the tank. He may be better than Jameis but they’re kicking the can down the road. I’d have signed a cheaper stopgap and drafted a QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted March 17, 2020 I wonder how him and Arians will get along. Arians likes to play the parent to troubled youngsters. Brady is the opposite of that, and I'm sure Brady is much closer in philosophy to BB than Arians Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Bucs don't need to get past the Steelers to win the conference so the TE position may not be a big thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted March 17, 2020 Browns had a great signing in TE Austin Hooper. He's critical for them. To beat the Steelers, you have to stop their LB pass rush. The way you do that is to get a stud receiving TE. There will be times where Watt will have to stop for a second and make sure Hooper is covered which will give Baker more time to throw. And if Watt doesn't, then Hooper is wide open immediately. Not surprised the Patriots were also very interested in Hooper since Belichick always builds his team to beat the Steelers. As for the Ravens, the Browns are already built to beat the Ravens. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,541 Posted March 17, 2020 Dont understand the fit. They cant run the ball. And even though they are good vs the run....their defense isnt that great. Brady shouldnt be throwing it as much as Godwin and Evans need to get theirs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really have anything to compare it to though. I've been to the old UCF stadium, a Miami vs TB game in 08 or 09 (in Miami) when Ronnie Brown and Williams were still on the team and Bright House stadium. Raymond James is easily better than all the others I listed but none of them compare to other NFL stadiums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barely I dont care to go into the deep history of this subject....you are probably right. But nonetheless I would much prefer my young QB sitting and watching an elite vet work than say Cam Newton or Jay Cutler. Seems like common sense. It is hard to find QBs who go on to be top 5 type guys in the league. So of course you arent always going to land that guy. But to me it can only help. Even a guy like Rodgers. Favre didnt put him under his wing at all. But he saw him work. He saw what Favre was seeing and how he reacted. It couldnt have hurt no matter how awkward of change at QB that was.

Its common logic. Being around a guy that is amongst the best in the league can only be better than being around a journeyman. It is a common principle of sports coaching and competing. Of course their skill and intangibles are going to matter most of all. It is hard to find a top 5 type QB let alone back to back. So why are you acting like this should happen at a high rate.

wiffleball 4,639 Posted March 18, 2020 One of the things I respect about the Patriots organization is that they would rather Lose a guy with a couple of years left in the tank than over pay somebody for five years who has maybe a year or two left in the tank. On the flip side, they're the team who is constantly finding a guy who has one good year left and pay him a reasonable wage. Think about Corey Dillon for example. Would love to see Brady end his career with the pats, and I'm not even a Patriots fan. But that's just not how the world works. And I'd love to see him win somewhere else, but that's not how it works. Peyton Manning was pretty much the one exception. In alternate news, congratulations to Drew Brees. That's cool as hell. And, not for nothing, but screw Cam Newton. I always thought he was overrated and a punk and a worthless human being. F*** him and let him die. Maybe he can hang out with that piece of s*** quarterback from the raiders that enjoyed his purple drank too much. Still, would rather see Brady go to the West coast. in related quarterback news, does they may think Rivers will end up somewhere else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted March 18, 2020 I don't see Brady and the Bucs working well. The Bucs have two excellent wrs, a te with potential, and line that is serviceable at pass blocking. They cannot run at all, and have a pretty poor defense. In order to win, it will all be on Brady to sling it around the yard every game. Can he still do that consistently at his age?

All Brady needs to do is not turn it over 35 times in 16 games like Winston did. They will win enough to make playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
