the media frenzy behind the Brady free agency is laughable. A 42 year old QB that is average at best. The "goat" (not really IMO) is washed up. TB made a mistake.

Next you?ll probably be saying the same sort of thing about Tiger Woods.

Golf is different. It's much easier to crown Tiger as GOAT because it is an individual sport. People crown TB GOAT in a team sport but the stats don't support it. His GOAT status is based on team accomplishments, not individual accomplishments.

I have no idea about Tampa's pass protection. Probably pretty good since Bruce Arian's pass attack last year was largely based on throwing a lot of deep balls.

I was making a joke.

You HAVE said that same sort of thing about Tiger Woods - at least the being washed up part.
 
I heard on ESPN this morning that Brady has never completed a pass to a wide Receiver taller then 6’5 or something like that. He now has Evans to throw to. Tampa Bay has 1-2 year window at his age. The Bucs were 7-9 last year. Sounds like they are all in a s for going for it.

although not a WR, Gronk is 6'6"

Randy Moss 6'4"

TB is going to have to change their offense to a dink and dunk because of Tom's age/lack of arm strength. Not sure if that fits what Mike Evans and Chris Godwin do best.

I bet he's not the only one. How many 6'5" and bigger wide receivers are there? Calvin Johnson was 6'5" and he's one of the biggest I remember seeing play the game. Mike Evans is 6'5" and according to this piece, the 2 tallest WRs in the NFL are both 6'6". Arguably the best WR currently playing is 6'1" DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones is 6'3", OBJ is 5'11". Doesn't seem like Brady has been hampered by never throwing to a guy over 6'4" especially when that WR, Randy Moss was one of the best in the game. That's seems like just another of many useless stats that get thrown out there on sports radio and in-game analysis. ESPN is trying too hard.
