Alex Smith questions whether defensive head coaches can develop quarterbacks

Tampa was 7-5 going into the bye and on verge of missing the playoffs before they made modifications to make the offense a little more palatable for Brady. But that's neither here no there. For those that watched that playoff run, especially their game against us and in the Super Bowl would know that defense won those games. Crap, they held the Chiefs to 9 points, which was their lowest point total since 2017.

And I don't know if you missed last season but TB was bad with Brady after he ran Arians upstairs. Since the beginning of Arians' tenure with TB, this is where they ranked offensively.

2019 - #3 yards/#3 PF
2020 - #7 yards/#3 PF
2021 - #2 yards/#2 PF

Brady runs Arians upstairs and replace him with the defensive minded Bowles

2022 - #14 yards/#25 PF

Crazy how B. Left was the scapegoat in that situation.
Vegas: The Buccaneers playoff chances are 21.3%, so sportsbooks don't have much faith in Tampa Bay this year. That means Tampa Bay has a 78.7% chance to miss the playoffs as it enters 2023.

With Brady/TB in 2022 - Vegas says there a playoff team, Superbowl contenders.

Without Brady, Todd B. coach: - Vegas says they will be lucky if they win 8 games. Vegas disagrees with you.
