    A lot of Chiefs fans also had high expectations when they got Joe Cool at the end of his career.

    I think the fit is very strange... When I think of Brady at this point in his career it's a guy who is 43(42?) his skillset has diminished and would seem to fit well on a team with a good running game and good defense where can make the throws when he needs to but be a game manager so to speak. Going to the Buccs he'll certainly be throwing a lot and they do have good weapons on the outside. Their defense isn't much to speak of either seems like a weird fit IMO, but of course, I have been wrong before.

    Yeah, I agree it’s an interesting fit. Don’t see Brady airing it out...successfully, at least.

    Their defense seemed to turn a corner toward the end of the season, but they lose a lot, so yeah. Interesting.

    Offensively though, better OL than the Pats, better weapons, I can see why he was intrigued.

    TB to TB, it doesn't get any more logical than that. And Giselle is closer to home.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Tampa Bay finished #5 in defensive efficiency last year, so they were actually quite good on defense. Their main problem was turnovers on offense...Winston threw 30 interceptions and lost 5 more fumbles (fumbling 12 times).

    Brady will cut that turnover total down a metric ton, but it's questionable whether he can produce the kinds of yards and touchdowns that Winston did. With the receivers Tampa has, maybe. I think that if Brady bounces back with a solid year, the Buccaneers might contend for a wild card spot.

    Are you not worried about the turnover on defense? They have a ton of free agents, if I’m recalling correctly.
    I do agree that having a QB who isn’t gonna turn the ball over a billion times is a bit more significant.

    I'm not a Buccaneers fan, so I'm not really sure of their free agent situation and who they're slated to lose. Losing key contributors on defense would definitely change things.
