We constantly rag on how much the bucs suck and never make the playoffs.. But if they win the super bowl this year after already having one in their trophy case, I'd take that shitty stuff in between

They aren’t winning this year, no chance. Brady isn’t any good at this point, their OL is trash and their D is below average. We’ve seen plenty of offseason champions like them and they all end the exact same way — disappointment.

This. And they also have a coach who couldn't even outcoach Ron. Bucs always win the offseason, but never doing anything.

Did they upgrade one of the worst secondaries in NFL?  Their problem last year was stopping other teams from scoring.  Bucs O was putting up crazy points.

I remember about 10 years ago when Philly signed nearly every big free agent on the market.  Dont think they made the playoffs.

I agree with most of this, but their o-line. They will have a top 15 o line this year.

Yeah, I think they're thinking they were close last year, even with 30 interceptions by Winston. So by removing Winston, adding arguably the best QB in the league, one the most prolific TE's and now a very good short yardage back, they might have something...and they might.

I still believe we can take em though, both games...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
