Very true. Although I think he’ll be alright in Tampa.

What are you, 10 years old?

Who else will be tuning in each to catch the Bucs play and compare who wins between BB and Brady?

And I don’t think they play at the same time this year.

I plan on watching rooting for both to win

As much as some of us have accepted he reality of TB to TB, there's definitely some sting to actually SEEING it, but it is what it is.

it's tough to see, but I know ultimately it's what is best for everyone. I wish Tom the best of luck. I'll root hard for both the Pats and Bucs this year.

I'm sure people are getting carried away in the heat of hte moment, but it's crazy how some people want to dismiss all that he's done for this franchise.

Yeah, no, Bucs are not really my team.

I’m cheering for the Patriots and any other team that can help the Patriots that week.

I'm a photographer, and I can tell you hard light, meaning light that has not been diffused, can make a person look much older because of the shadows it creates. I'm not saying Tom isn't old obviously, but the lighting can actually make him look older than he would if you saw him under different lighting conditions.

Your opinion is that either TB12 or his new team is invested in making him look older? LMAO -- he's the crypt keeper. There ought to be a pool to decide whether TB12 or Kaep will suffer a career ending injury first. My bet is both are done before the season starts...whenever that is...

Please don’t make fun of 10 year olds. It’s bullying to pretend they post like that

He’s old and I’d guess he’ll also look it if he plays.

What opinion? I wasn't submitting an opinion. I was talking about how photographic lighting works on people's skin and how much detail shows in a photo; hence why I began by stating I'm a photographer. It has nothing to do with Tom or Tampa Bay other than he is the one in the photo coincidentally. I could take a photo of someone's grandmother and, if I flatten and soften the light enough, I could easily make her look ten years younger because the light would fill in the shadows. There was no hidden agenda one way or another in what I was saying. Some of you people are just ridiculous... seriously.

Sigh... a simple comment about photographic lighting is the next thing to devolve into stupidity, I guess. Whatever.

We need a thread "Tampa Bay Bucs Temporary Fans Discussion".

I'll follow and root for Tampa this season as well, I don't care.

I'm curious how difficult it will be for Tom to transition to a new OC , especially a guy that doesn't have too much experience.

He's done anything for anyone except himself. The franchise and fans have benefited from some of those things, but, make no mistake, he did these things for himself.

I don’t think anyone is dismissing what he’s done for the franchise.

I've been away from the board for ages, but coming back to these images made me realize something that kind of surprised me.

It was absolutely a privilege to watch Tom Brady the quarterback play football for so many seasons. But over the past several years, Tom Brady the guy had become less and less likable to me. And it's almost a relief to not be rooting for him.

White on white is clean.

*edit*
I completely understand where some are coming from. Brady isn't the same guy he was 5-10 years ago. Are you, though? Aren't people allowed to change? Idk I get both sides but can't get mad at 12 for "changing or evolving" or we you wanna call it.
I've always been and will be outspoken about his unwillingness or ability to work with younger players but that's hardly a big deal in the world of these big shots. All these guys have incredible egos. Maybe Brady only wanted to throw to savvy vets? Who knows?
I do know this franchise isn't where it is bc of him. I'm sure Bill would have done great things but we're here, among the great franchises bc of Brady's smarts, toughness and durability. Let's not forget. This team was a joke. No one wanted to wear our colors or root for us. No one hated us or loved us. We we're an afterthought. Bill is right there but Brady was perfect for Bill and actually made it work on the field. X & O's are great. Half-time adjustments are great from a calm setting. Brady made it work when **** was breaking down, flying around him and did for two decades.

I could care less about Guerrero & avocados. Brady kicked ass on the field and represented the team, area like a class act.

I could care less about the Tampa but I'll root for Brady like I root for other former Pats & coaches.
