New England Patriots fans simply aren’t ready to let go of Tom Brady
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought chaos across the entire NFL earlier this offseason when it was reported that Tom Brady was leaving the Patriots to head down south to the Bucs.
Brady signed a two-year deal worth $50 million and has hit the ground running ever since.
Despite the fact that Tom Brady is now the quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and that’s not going to change, it seems that the New England Patriots fans simply aren’t ready to let go.
When the Buccaneers released the first photos of Brady in his Tampa Bay attire, Patriots fans were absolutely heartbroken to say the least.
Definitely looked better in a Pats jersey! We'll miss you Tom.

Tom Brady is a Buccaneer and that won’t be forgotten
Many Pats fans express the opinion that Brady will always be remembered for his time in New England and that his time in Tampa Bay will simply be forgotten- similar to what we remember about Joe Montana’s career in relation to Kansas City.
While it’s certainly true that Brady will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Patriot and he’ll be remembered for his time in New England, Pats fans shouldn’t for one second believe that his time in Tampa will be forgotten.
What Brady is about to do for the Buccaneers franchise is absolutely unmatched. What if he goes on to win a Super Bowl? What if he wins the NFC? What if he wins an MVP Award or is a Pro Bowler?
Brady is more focused than ever and he willingly chose to move away from the Patriots because of an apparent unhappiness with the franchise- it should be noted that it wasn’t with the fans.
Though many fans want to believe it, Tom Brady isn’t retired and he still has an opportunity to accomplish quite a bit with these next couple of years in Tampa Bay.
It’s easy to see what Patriots fans are having a tough time moving on, but Brady is a Buccaneer now and his time in Tampa won’t be forgotten.
