Mr. Skeptical
The Bucks May have the 3 best receiver combinations in NFL. 6 of their 9 losses were by 7 or less points 6 times. You don’t thing the QB with 6 super bowl victories is worth at least 1 TD in those games? Not making the mistakes that Jameson made in clutch times are worth those points. Brady passed up the Chargers for the Bucks. Do you really think it was for 25-28.5 million a year?
The Bucs’ acquisition of Brady is for one thing only: ticket sales. The dreamer in me wants this 42-year-old guy to work miracles, but the realist in me says that without the considerable support of the Pats’ organization to help him, he’s going to look quite ordinary.
