 Nothing official yet with Brady to Tampa Bay, but it looks like it's done They just haven't announced it yet, and he's joining a team that has a lot of offensive weapons to really good wide receivers a very good young tight end a Very a good coach when it comes to dealing with established quarterbacks Bruce Arians has dealt with so many of them But I think that at the end of his Tampa Bay stay He's gonna look back on this and say this is a big mistake Tom Brady because he had something great in New England and He's going out of his comfort zone, which is probably what he's looking to do I know that but this is a mistake for him It's a mistake for him and if New England pushed him out I think it's gonna be a mistake for them But if you ask me what teams gonna win more games this year New England's gonna win more games not Tampa Bay I think New England's gonna go further in the playoffs not Tampa Bay And if all that happens what exactly does Tom Brady have to hang his hat on? Oh, look, I got 4,000 yards and I 35 touchdowns with those two great wide receivers. Okay, great good But he's never been a selfish guy. He's always been about team and this is a move that I just can't figure out And that's why I spoke about it yesterday in that way, too I think he's gonna look at this and say now that I made a mistake I should have just stayed and unless we ever get to the real bottom of it none of it makes sense to me I don't get it. I don't understand why he would leave a good situation a great situation and now he's going to the unknown He's got to learn new players and here's what makes it even tougher for anybody. That's changing teams right now like a Nick falls Who was traded to the Bears? Well, and and Phillip River is going to Indianapolis. There might not be training camps You might not ever be able to work with your people. They might start the season on time But you're not gonna have that time to work with people over and over throw them footballs get the timing down You're gonna start off really really poorly I think you those that stay put if Brady had stayed put in New England a system that he knows players that he knows Coaches that he knows. I think he'd be better off. He's gonna look back on this I really believe and think that it was a mistake. I hope I'm proven wrong Love to watch the guy play, but I think he's gonna look back and say this was a big mistake You are putting all the eggs in your discussion into the Super Bowl basket Like that's the only thing that he should be focused on the only thing that would absolutely make him happy and Maybe there's other things that he's looking for The one thing I will disagree with and I agreed with you yesterday but upon further review I kind of changed my mind on it. Yes, there could be a delay to training camps and Getting a chance to work and understand the new system But it's not like there's a lockout or strike where you're forbidden to do that I would think by the time we get to when training camps can open that he could he could talk to Bruce Arians They can kind of go over things Maybe he can you know work out privately with Bruce on some things because I think that's part of this Arians is really important because maybe Tom Brady looks at himself and says alright I'm a great quarterback, but at 43 I'm gonna have to figure out a way to best utilize what I have here And maybe he just has faith that the faith that Bruce Arians is gonna get more out of him Than what they had in New England and because there are weapons Maybe he feels like hey if I go out there and throw 40 touchdown passes. Yeah, we might finish eight and eight But that's not necessarily my fault. Look, I was able to prove that with weapons last year Wasn't the down end of Tom Brady's career It was the fact they didn't have any weapons to throw the ball to but now with weapons Yeah, they may not win a championship Michael, but if he puts up monster numbers I don't think that makes himself fish. It just I want to be able to show people but I still have it And I believe I can I can I can do better as Tom Brady under Bruce Arians with these weapons in Tampa Then I can't stay in New England Also, the question is what does Tampa look like if you remove? 75 80% of the mistakes that James Winston made last year I mean, this is a team that offensively had games that they were absolutely insane Throwing for 500 yards five touchdowns. They offensively were really explosive But as we saw he had a 30 touchdown 30 interception season So I don't know Don it feels like maybe there's a chance they are a pretty good team with Brady Well, think about it Honestly, I think you would have to agree with this Michael that Tom Brady can look at what James Winston did last year and say Well, I could throw more than 30 touchdown passes because I think I'm a better quarterback than he is with those weapons And I'm not throwing 30 interceptions So he might look at that offense and say if I'm on it I can throw 40 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions and they went nine and seven If I could do that then maybe we can go 11 and five 12 and four compete with the Saints to go to the playoffs Well, and also you look around look at look around at the division Drew Brees on the other side of it granted he has Michael Thomas and they're still a fierce team but this but After that Carolina, no idea what they are Atlanta the second half of the season was much more like Atlanta than they were the first half But over the last couple of years, they haven't been the team that the Patriots played in the Super Bowl So you really look at it from a divisional standpoint. It might have been one of the best opportunities to go get a division Do you believe that they're better than New Orleans? No, I don't believe they're better than New Orleans. However, if if it turned out to be the best version of it and Brady's looked like Brady again. I believe they could be in the conversation with New Orleans Now you talk about the 30 interceptions with James Winston and that was a problem. They still finished seven and nine But he had a big arm. He could stretch the field now Brady's quarterback rating For long passes last year was not as bad as you would think it was in the high 90s not bad But he doesn't have the arm that James Winston has so maybe you're taking away some of the stretchability of the of the field With Tom Brady, it's I think it's fascinating. It's gonna be fascinating to watch I'm sure that if there's a football season that Tampa Bay is going to be on national television an awful lot He's a ratings grabber But I just think he's gonna look back and go that was a mistake
