Fingers crossed it's Trask.

Thanks for everything Brady. Thank you for the Super Bowl and the memories. They’ll last a lifetime

What a fascinating off-season that’s about to begin here in Tampa. So many pieces are question marks. There’s talent here obviously that if you bring in a competent QB/believe Trask is the guy, you can make a run in what should still be a bad division. But at the same time, blowing up part of this team or a lot of this team is absolutely on the table.

Also I feel like we have plenty of evidence now that Bowles just doesn’t work as a head coach. Just another guy who’s an elite DC but not good enough to be a HC. Frustrating because I was really hopeful he would do well but he’s just way too frustrating

Decent crop of quarterbacks available.

Problem is, lots of teams need decent quarterbacks.

Yeah there’s a few teams that will absolutely push harder for QBs. Teams like the Jets/Panthers/Colts/Commanders are all going to push for a QB.

Might not be a bad idea just to see what Trask has and hit a reset year

Very much agree with this. I don't know where Brady plays next year but it seems pretty obvious it won't be with the Bucs

I'm not at all surprised the game went like this. The Bucs were a bad team this year who were just lucky enough to play in a terrible division.

Should be a pretty terrifying off-season. No clear answer at QB and a pretty garbage cap situation. At least it sounds like Bowles will be back . Hopefully they at least get rid of Leftwich.

That was quick, but I’m glad to see they’re making a change at OC. Leftwich ain’t it

Agreed. If Trask is starting then this team has decided to go the Tank route which I doubt they’ll do (but is still a slim possibility)

Can't wait to see which Bucs QB in 2023 ends up...

Taking the
Reins
And
Settling in as the new
King

My prayers have been answered. I expect Bowles to get one more year. The one thing in Bowles favor is that despite losing this game, he did win the division... But inherited Bruce Arian's coaching staff. He was dealt a bad hand when B.A. handed him the reins. Bowles had zero say in who was on his coaching staff.

I fully expect the Bucs front office to clean house and bring in a vet QB if Brady leaves.

I expect Brady to return for another year. I suspect the Glazers are going to make Brady an offer he can't refuse.

About 3 months to late but at least its a start.

Brady is done as a Buc, he'll be either a Raider or Dolphin next season

Yeah, if you are going to rebuild, you already invested a second round pick in the kid, and they are cap strapped. Just let the kid play a year, and if he plays well, then you can address other parts of the team that need help, and maybe the rebuild is just a tune up

I think any team that passes on an elite QB coming out of the draft to get a 46 year old legend who has at best a year or two in him would be really dumb. You aren't getting the Brady from 10, or even 5 years ago, you are getting a 46 year old Brady. To me. he is at best a QB you bring in if you are trying to win right now, this year, and you are only missing a QB. Tua played well this year and took big steps forward, why would you uproot that? (although his concussions are concerning)

Micah can go Parsons hunting if he wants, what you need to worry about is which Dak comes to play- the one that looked like a beast yesterday, or the one that has been a turnover machine the better part of last few games. Also, you seem to forget the 49ers have a pretty good D of their own.

Tua is one more concussion away from his brains being scrambled eggs. Plus it's clear the owner really wants TB in Miami. His kids are there. Maybe do you put Tua on IR for all of next year give him a full season off to heal from 3 concussions and give Brady a year in Miami?

The Bucs have historically made bad quarterbacks look really, really good.. and last night was no different. I’m pretty sure the Niners D is going to eat Dak alive.

I would think it's Trask because of the 35 million dollar dead cap hit the Bucs are going to take because of Brady.

[majestik101]

I have ZERO faith in Bowles and Leftwich developing Trask into a contender. Historically they have both been balls in that department.

Bowles had two high-draft-pick quarterbacks in New York (Sam Darnold and Christian Hackenberg) and both busted out. Leftwich had first-round draft pick Josh Rosen in Arizona and he busted out.

That’s 0-3 between those two with first- or second-round quarterback picks.

R.I.P. Kyle Trask

I look for the Bucs to make a hard push to re-sign Brady, or if they can't do that, go after a proven veteran, like Derek Carr or Jimmy Geesus

How do you know Trask won't make it? I guess you and Majestik seen Purdy was going to be good. Now we have scouts on Blowout.
