OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

It’s so fun/relaxing knowing they’ve already win and multiplied Brady’s already GOAT legacy by 10X. Now, win or lose, it makes little difference for Brady. It will be enjoyable to watch TB12 without worrying about his legacy.

I think after the Atlanta Superbowl there was no more doubts only the Rob Parkers of the world
 
Suh to Covid list. Must have missed that.
 
It's unbelievable how many likely future hall of famer the Bucs have

HOF locks:
Brady
Gronk

Good chance with another good year or more:
Evans
Brown
Suh
L. David
JPP

Young guys who have potential for HOF:
Godwin
VEA
D. White
Wirfs
A. Whitfield

Any current Patriots that have a chance for HOF? Gilmore and Jackson perhaps?

BB. That’s it. Maybe if Mac turns out to be special. I think Gilmore has a shot but he needs more- if he retired today he is not HOF worthy. Not yet.
 
It took Ty Law way too long to get in the HoF, Gilmore won’t ever be seriously considered. Hell the HoF disrespect for a ton of dynasty era players is nuts when you compare it to how basicslly the entire roster of the 70s Steelers and 90s Cowboys is in.
 
The only one player who really helped himself last night was Dee Delaney, who had two INTs, Bruce Arians said. Says they're still evaluating the final five spots.

 
Arians said Alex Cappa was the highest graded Bucs OL last night and will remain the starting right guard. I never saw Stinnie get first-team reps when Cappa was healthy, but he’s arguably their best backup OL.

 
Arians said Bucs have already begun the process of trimming their roster from 80 to 53, but said the team won't likely release any moves until Tuesday. I'd think that's just strategic and not letting other teams have advance notice on who's available.

 
Arians says if there were an injury to Ryan Jensen, he’d likely slide guard Ali Marpet over to replace him. Said rookie Robert Hainsey needs to develop. They had hoped he’d be ready to dress as their backup center.




Hainsey missed quite a bit of training camp with injury and that plays a big role in development. If you're looking for a reason not to sweat a third-round OL being inactive some as a rookie, remember that Alex Cappa only played in 6 games as a rookie, then started the next year.

The Bucs I listed as near locks to the HOF have stats, availability, and longetivity. Unfortunately, there are not many Pat's from the latest dynasty that has it all.

I thought Edelman would be in with a couple more seasons and playoff runs.

Hightower has just missed too much time.

It's weird that there may be no Pat's from the last 10 years (other than Brady, Gronk, and Bb)making the HOF. Welker probably would have had a better career and a chance at HOF if he stayed in NE.
 
Here’s my final 53-man roster prediction that I forgot to tweet out last night...




It's behind a paywall, but I thought I'd post it in case we have anyone here who wastes their money on ESPN+ (or whatever it is).
 
It's interesting, Bill got a lot of reverence from opposing teams and the media.

Looking back on it, it seems like all that praise went to opposing so fans and the media could talk about how great their QB was and only if the HC was Bill they would have 10 or more Superbowls.

It happened with Colts fans and GB fans especially.

However, Brady has really shattered that thought, whether fair or not.
Brady didn't just shatter that ridiculous narrative, he showed by winning with Arians that he could have went to Indy and won 6 or 7 SBs with Manning's HCs.
 
Bucs are waiving tackle Jake Benzinger, who joined the team midway through training camp as an injury replacement. Played at Wake Forest, had been with the Colts.
