Patriots vs Bucs(Tom Brady)

[exploited17]

Much has and will be made on what happened to Brady and the Pats. Especially true if the Bucs win it all
Of course ... there is not right answer answer to this question. But just curious as to what people think

If Bucs win the SB would the Pats have won with Brady?
If the Bucs with Brady as QB played the Pats with Brady as QB, who wins?

I would guess most people think Bucs as we seen the success with TB this year. Pats with Brady this year would have been unknown
However ....they have a legacy of ridiculous success and that has to count for

I think the AFC was tougher
They would have had to beat KC in KC so probably not

Bucs success in the playoffs has been largely their defense and I am not sure Pats could have done that

But team vs team is a bit different

Brady:
40 TD
12 INT

Jameis Winston:
33 TD
30 INT

Brady's importance to the team's success is blatantly obvious

1. They improved the team
2. Of course he is a big part in general
3. I am talking mostly playoffs

That didn't answer my question though
It was just a endorsement of Brady in general helping

New England would have definitely been better with Brady rather than Cam.

Probably wouldn't have made the playoffs though

The 2020 Patriots would not have been in position to win the SB

Too little salary cap space and too many opt outs

They would have probably made the playoffs

No way these Pats win anything with Brady. They were way too thin in the receiving corps. No Tight Ends and a couple of no name receivers. This is now a passing league. You've gotta have decently skilled players catching the ball. THe Pats didn't have them last year (excepting a broken down Edelman) when they were one and out in the Playoffs. And they sure didn't have them this year.

Brady went to the right situation. He knew what he was doing. That team was offensively stacked. Then they added Gronk. Then they added Antonio Brown. By the way, those guys went there to play with Brady. More credit to Brady. And that young Defense has gotten better in the Playoffs than they were all year. Having a guy like Brady brings the attitude of the whole team to where it needs to be to compete at high levels.

Kudos to Tom Brady. He is truly a special football player, win or lose on Sunday.
