Unless Donald Trump decides to have another presser this week-end and demand the markets to open this week-end… I think I’ll take a break from him decimating the markets with his foolish behavior. almost fourth grade level behavior.
So–Tom Brady is going to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to ostensibly help the Bucs win the second Super Bowl in their franchise history.
Can he do this with a Tampa team which was 7-9 last season and a major disappointment for the second straight season?
I think he can because the Bucs have a great deal in place as a team which just needs an elite NFL quarterback to bring the pieces together..
The Bucs have Bruce Ariens as their head coach and if you don’t know…Ariens has twice won the NFL Coach of the Year Award and twice won a Super Bowl ring as an NFL assistant coach. This could be the second year in a row for an Andy Reid type to win the Super Bowl.
Check the head coaching box.
At wide receiver Tampa has both Mike Evans ans Chris Godwin which gives the GOAT a better set of targets than he had last season in New England with Edelman and whoever.
Check the wide receiver box.
This is a Tampa team from last year which moved the ball with Jameis Winston, but they were killed by his thirty interceptions of which seven went for a pick six the other way.
Check that box with six-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady. The Greatest of All-Time.
As far as defense–the Bucs had one of the stingiest run defenses in the NFL, but again consider how many times Jameis Winston left them in bad spots with his thirty interceptions. The Tampa defense is anchored by All-Pro linebacker Shaq Barrett.
So check the stud linebacker box. BTW… Barrett played on the Denver Super Bowl team of several years ago so the Bucs have captains on both sides of the ball with a Super Bowl ring.
Check the intangible championship DNA box as well.
And the last box?
Next year’s Super Bowl is being played in Tampa Bay.
This is why I think the Bucs have a shot at being special next NFL if Donald Trump can pull his head out of his ass long enough to not ruin next fall’s NFL season.
Maybe, just maybe, pissing away an NFL season is the one thing his base of dysfunction won’t tolerate.
