With the news that six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the NFL world and fans everywhere are bracing for what could be one of the most high-scoring offenses we’ve ever seen.
Brady, who struggled in New England last year with the Patriots without offensive playmakers, will have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and O.J. Howard to throw to next season. Couple that with an experienced head coach in Bruce Arians and an improving defense, and the Bucs could potentially become the first team ever to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. (Remember, Super Bowl LV will be in Tampa Bay next year, which was why the Bucs had to play in London this past season.)
The Super Bowl may seem like a dream still for some Bucs fans, especially when you consider Tampa Bay hasn’t been to the postseason since 2007, and hasn’t won a playoff game since their victory over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII following the 2002 season. But with Brady under center, the Bucs may finally — after years of going through QBs — get back to the Promised Land.
With that, let’s take a look now at all the QBs to start a game for the Bucs since that championship season as we prepare for the start of the Brady era in Tampa Bay.
