It very well could take a little time and obviously at TBs age that's precious time. But I'm not doubting Tom I think he'll pick it up real quick.I think it will take some time for Brady and the Bucs to get used each other. The Bucs are used to Arians and his "let's have a beer after the game even if we lose" type mentality. Brady is much more interested in watching film and thinking about the next game after he loses. Plus no OTAs and most likely no training camp. Their QB coach Clyde Christensen was on recently and said Tampa won't change much of it's offense to suit Brady since they don't want to make the entire offense learn the NE playbook. Brady has to learn the TB offense and that was a condition of him getting signed there. I see a 1 year transition period where TB will be pretty good (10-6 with their incredibly tough schedule). In 2021 I see Tampa being better but Brady will be 44 by then, so who knows.
I think it's more likely TBs short game could bring some balance to Ariens down field attack and that things gel quickly.
