2020 Outlook with Brady:

If relatively healthy, this team SHOULD win 10+ games in the 2020 season.

Tom Brady may not have the arm strength he had 10 or 15 years ago, but with the weapons around him and an improved offensive line, the recipe is there for success.

The biggest question mark is will the defense be able to replicate their success in the second half of 2019 over a full season. The answer lies with the pass rush and the young corner backs coming together. Every starter on the defense returns along with a couple key veteran pieces on the back end with Jefferson and Claiborne.

The Bucs are not looking to make a big splash in free agency and with BA and Licht making it be known that they are looking to re-sign their own to essentially “run it back” with the same team with a new QB, with this roster, I actually see the chance of taking that next step.

Brady wasn’t the problem in New England last season and should help the Bucs make the playoffs in 2020.

If he should miraculously take the Bucs to the first ever host-city Super Bowl, he will be able to cement his legacy away from Bill Belichick and put himself in a class of his own in NFL royalty.

Tom Brady is the "risk it for the biscuit". dark. Next
