That Tampa offseason really was incredible. Hitting on Tristan Wirfs and then the free safety Winfield, that was like hitting the lottery twice. Then to have Gronk unretire, RBs show up, it was pretty incredible. The Tampa team before Feb 2020 was not a Superbowl team by any stretch.

The Bucs were a QB away and saw things in 20/20 in 2020.

Not exactly rocket science, Winfield has a father who played in the NFL, he played in the Big Ten and everyone knew was going to be good. Trading down and out of the first round to draft a safety from a Div 3 school that no one has ever heard from ahead of Winfield, now that would be a stupid move.

Maybe. Maybe not. They had a 7-9 record, same as the Pats did last year. If the Pats came away with those players this year would you consider that pretty special? With picks 15 and 47 I might expect that.

To hit on a starting RT and starting FS who help you win a ring? Absolutely. And those were their holes too. It's like hitting on Seymour and Light in the same draft and winning it all. In the Pats case they need a DLineman and LB

We'll just have to wait and see how the Pats do. In the Bucs case they needed a QB and got the GOAT. We don't have that option this year.

The Bucs have more on less been hitting it in drafting key starters the last 6 years or so. So many home grown stars in the team. Then the addition of some key free agents. The last piece was Brady and the free agents that came because of him, to get them over the hump.

AB is such a drama queen. I would love to see what the bucs offer is.

He's not doing the negotiating, his agent is.

So, likely, he is urging the Bucs to meet whatever his agent is asking for. My belief is that Bucs will hold firm because they know his camp will eventually cave in.

From the time BB came and continuing for about 15 years, the Pat's have been pretty good in drafting even though they were picking at or near the bottom.

But the last 6 or 7 years, in contrast to the Bucs, they have stunk. I don't know what happened or why they have been bad. At first you could count it as just down years, but now it is a trend. It will be interesting if they can break that trend this year.

Most folks on this thread fully accepted the fact Brady left and joined the Bucs. They also chose to continue rooting for one of their favorite players and GOAT.

If this thread exists after Brady retires or leaves the Bucs, then you would have a valid point.

But your comment only shows you to be one of the minority that haven't moved on, because anytime Brady is brought up your panties bunch in a wad because you can't accept the fact he left and feel like a scorned ex lover.

I'm not saying that's what you are, it's just the vibe your comment gives off.

Brady is gone and continuing to have success. Get over it and ignore this thread if it bothers you that much. Perhaps one day your heart will heal over Brady leaving.

Yes, they were a QB away...





As long as that QB was Tom Brady.

"Not exactly rocket science", yet every other team passed on him, and Tampa passed on him once, as well.

Clearly you haven't because you keep popping up in this thread, whining about posters enjoying the post Pats career Brady is having.

If you were over it, you would either be excited about still watching Brady play, or you would careless because he isn't on this team and if that was the case you would put this thread on ignore.

I look at ABs comments as desperation for the Bucs to meet his demands. His market is obviously not what he thought it was like so many FAs this year. I think they sign him soon and it will be a favorable deal for the Bucs. Honestly though, AB has no one to blame but himself.
