The NFL Draft and free agency in the rearview for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, what should their starting offense look like for the 2020 season.
With the bulk of free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft in the books, it’s time to look forward to the eventual 2020 regular season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Whether it’s 16, 14 or 12 games, it’s more likely than not that this season will happen.
Whenever it starts, here’s what the starting offense for the Buccaneers will likely look like under head coach Bruce Arians and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich come Week 1.
Quarterback: Tom Brady
You don’t let the former No.1 overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft leave in free agency if you aren’t going after someone better. Well, the Bucs went out and got the best quarterback of all time. Even though Tom Brady is soon to be 43 years old, there’s no doubt that he’s still a massive upgrade over former starting signal-caller Jameis Winston.
There’s a reason why Brady won six Super Bowl titles during his 20-season stay in New England. He’s the best quarterback of all time because of many factors. The first attribute in his corner is his almost unparalleled football IQ.
Despite his age and declining physical attributes, his mind makes up for it. He reads defenses at a savant level and knows exactly how to attack whatever is thrown his way given enough time.
His sense of timing and pocket presence is still among the league’s best as well. Even though he doesn’t have as much power in his right arm that he has in the past, he will be able to execute Arians’ and Leftwich’s attack with ease. There’s a reason why the Bucs now have a legitimate shot to be the first team to play in a Super Bowl in their home stadium. It starts with the G.O.A.T. and continues throughout the team.
