"Bucs have Brady, Saints have Winston, and we all have a nervous tic" from Enemy Territory

I love this part of the article:


Think about it for a minute. What is the worst-case scenario for the Bucs? It’s not just the Tom Brady gamble blowing up. It’s the Brady gamble blowing up, and Winston becoming a star somewhere else.

The Bucs knew they were taking a risk by allowing another young quarterback to leave town. Steve Young was 25 when he was traded. Doug Williams and Trent Dilfer were both 27 when they left. Winston is 26.

Now, I’m sure if you ask general manager Jason Licht and head coach Bruce Arians to make the choice again today between Brady and Winston, they will choose Brady 98 out of 100 times. But yesterday, it might have been 99 out of 100.”
