Tom Brady is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer.
I know, it still sounds weird to say, especially when you consider that Brady spent 20 years with the New England Patriots, the longest tenure a quarterback has had with one team.
The future Hall of Famer brings with him championship experience, veteran leadership, and stats that would make any other quarterback jealous. Not only does Brady’s addition to the Bucs make Tampa Bay a legit Super Bowl contender, but he also makes the NFC South perhaps the best division ever.
Take a look at this stat, courtesy of the NFL’s research department.
The NFC South is the first division to have three quarterbacks with 50,000+ career pass yards at the same time in NFL history
– Drew Brees (77,416)
– Tom Brady (74,571)
– Matt Ryan (51,186)— NFL Research (@NFLResearch) March 18, 2020
The odd man out here is new Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who only has 7,652 career passing yards. Granted, Bridgewater has missed significant time due to injury over the years and served as a backup in New Orleans the past two seasons with the Saints. Still, Bridgewater posted a 5-0 record in 2019 when he filled in for injured starter Drew Brees. Nobody should doubt this guy’s skill set.
The fight for the NFC South division crown is going to be one of the most exciting battles in the NFL next season.
