#TOM BRADY WASTED UPGRADE#

Considering Brady’s age, there were concerns about his fit in Bruce Arians’s aggressive passing game. Brady was brought in to be the anti–Jameis Winston, who threw a whopping 30 interceptions and a record seven pick-sixes last year. But the things that he did have control of-like his accuracy on that intercepted throw to Watson-he didn’t consistently maximize. Brady didn’t have much control over the Bucs’ self-inflicted wounds. One of Ryan Succop’s field goal attempts was blocked and Mike Edwards muffed a kickoff late in the second half, spoiling any hopes of a comeback. Tampa’s special teams didn’t help either. The Bucs offensive line had a rough day containing the Saints pass rush (Brady was sacked three times) and committed two false start penalties. Still, Brady wasn’t solely at fault for Sunday’s loss. There were several moments when Brady looked like the same declining passer who faded on his way out of New England last year. It didn’t appear to consistently make a difference on Sunday.
