Would love some opinions on here. Was just arguing with my buddy about the Bucs this coming season (if there is one). I'm of the opinion they'll be good not great. I just have some questions about what will happen with Brady and this first season without Belichick along with age catching up a bit. Also, who knows how healthy Gronk will be. I should say, my boy is a pretty big Brady stan and he's not trying to hear a word i'm saying. Would love to hear from some of you because many of you know your shit . . .
As Jack said, he has one of the best WR tandems in the NFL, currently 2 TE's that are serviceable/good. However, a few things to keep in mind:
- Tom Brady is getting older. Will he be playing for insane stats or try and be smart/error-free and win 1 more SB? Also, how good is Gronk actually going to be? People are throwing out insane numbers....let's get real.
- Mike Evans game was basically letting Winston air it out and Evans being a monster-of-a-man just get it. How will he be with Brady?
- As Jack pointed out, RB is a concern. Is Jones going to carry the load? Is Vaughn going to help out? Duo? Teams could potentially stack the back and force them to run. Who knows how that will turn out
- Their defensive front is pretty insane. Run-stopping son'a'bitches. But how will their secondary fair? They are a big question mark. And if they start dropping players back, then they may pick up the run/dink & dime em to death. It will be interesting to see.
- I am not saying this is going to happen but this will 100000% be brought up the first very bad call in favor of Tampa Bay - the refs "playing for" Tampa Bay. What a story it would be for the NFL to have this "super team" be formed with Brady leaving NE to host and win a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay.
That's pretty much all I got. One (well 3) fun things will be happening this year with TB. Brady & the Bucs have to face Chiefs, Saints, and Packers - of course all at home. So you would have to assume a week 1 matchup will happen with one of them. Hopefully the Chiefs.
