i wish. SI article 20 teams who won't win sb LV(bucs are on it)
"Tampa Bay was the most difficult team to leave off the list and not just because they added Tom Brady this offseason. The Buccaneers had one of the strongest defensive units in the NFL last year, including the best run defense in football. Todd Bowles is in his element and has the pieces to develop something Seahawk-ian. Buccaneers fans will look at the Super Bowl contenders page and point out that this team has all the things I liked about the Steelers—at least three elite offensive linemen, a fleet of solid pass rushers and sound cornerback play—plus Brady, plus Mike Evans, plus Chris Godwin, plus Rob Gronkowski. My only response, and it’s a bit of a hunch, is that it might be difficult to pull everything together without a formal offseason. We tend to become enamored with free agency before realizing that veterans were let go or unsigned for a reason. I learned this as:
• Kurt Warner went 8-18 over his first three seasons in Arizona
• Brett Favre went 21-11 over his first two seasons outside of Green Bay
• Drew Bledsoe went 14-18 over his first two seasons outside of New England
• Warren Moon went 21-18 over his first three years in Minnesota
I’m doing my best to explain that I’m just not comfortable falling in line with the hype just because of who is playing quarterback and who is coaching the team. Might it be ludicrous in the end? Sure"
