N/S Am I the only one who really hopes the Bucs sign Brady (1 Viewer)

Bucs usually play the Saints tough with Jameis Winston and you want them to sign Brady? They already have weapons and if they build a good line around him he can still play.
You said it, "IF" they can build a good line.

Here's where the Buccaneers' offensive line has ranked in sacks allowed and QB hits over the last decade...
  • 2019: 22nd in sacks allowed (47), t-27th in QB hits (106)
  • 2018: t-17th in sacks allowed (41), t-28th in QB hits (109)
  • 2017: t-19th in sacks allowed (40), 23rd in QB hits (100)
  • 2016: t-16th in sacks allowed (35), 28th in QB hits (109)
  • 2015: t-4th in sacks allowed (27), 29th in QB hits (109)
  • 2014: t-29th in sacks allowed (52), 32nd in QB hits (124)
  • 2013: t-26th in sacks allowed (47), t-10th in QB hits (75)
  • 2012: t-3rd in sacks allowed (26), t-8th in QB hits (66)
  • 2011: t-9th in sacks allowed (32), 5th in QB hits (64)
  • 2010: 10th in sacks allowed (30), t-14th in QB hits (72)
In that span they've had 3 Pro Bowl linemen: Donald Penn (2010), Davin Joseph (2011), and Logan Mankins (2015).

So over the last decade they've had 2 OL's in the bottom 3rd of the league in both sacks and hits (2014 and 2019), 3 OL's where they were in the bottom 3rd of hits and in the middle 3rd of sacks (2016-2018), 2 seasons where they were in the top 3rd in one but bottom 3rd in the other (2013 and 2015), 1 season where they were middle 3rd in hits and top 3rd in sacks (2010), and 2 seasons where they were in the top 3rd of both sacks and hits (2011 and 2012).

Over the last 3 seasons, Buccaneer QB's have been sacked at least 40 times and hit at least 100 times (128 sacks and 315 hits).

Here's the number of times Brady has been sacked and hit in that same span.

  • 2019: 28 sacks (t-5th), 90 hits (t-18th)
  • 2018: 21 sacks (3rd), 68 hits (4th)
  • 2017: 35 sacks (t-13th), 84 hits (t-15th)
  • TOTAL: 84 sacks, 242 hits
So he's going to a team that's given up 44 additional sacks and 73 additional QB hits. That's going to add up fast on a 43 year old body.

I just don't see their offensive line making that big of a jump in one off season unless they start trading for some proven studs and absolutely nail their draft like we did in 2017.
 
Brady like a Brees elevates OL play with their quick reads. Arians made a low football IQ Winston a very productive QB. Imagine what he’ll do with Brady who won’t make stupid mistakes like Famous Jameis. Don’t be fooled, Bucs will be tough out next year if Brady stays healthy.
 
We all know how competitive Drew is and now we have Tom Brady in the division. He’s going to be even more focused than he usually is if that’s even possible...
 
In a close room with you and just yourself, ask yourself, are you confident in the current state/roster of this defense against Brady and all the playmakers on the Buccs’ offense with Arians as the shotcaller? Even Winston put up hella numbers with that offense and playmakers.

Hate to say it, but Brady with all of those playmakers on offense is scary as Hell

if we can’t generate a pass rush, I’m telling you now, You’re gonna hate playing against them

I’m not confident in our D currently even against Heath Shuler.
 
I hope he retires. What is he actually still playing for? Rings? Fame? Records? Money? He seems like he is a real life Rickey Jarret. Doesn’t want to stay at home with the wifey? The only possible answer is he trying to outlast Drew. That’s it, nothing more.

Or you know..gasp..maybe he enjoys playing football.











Naw..couldn't be that!
