Amazingly, the Bucs signed the NFL Greatest of All Time QB named Tom Brady, a great moment in Bucs history. It could all go historically wrong in the blink of an eye. The Bucs have to Protect the GOATs Ass at all costs.
You think it was a disgrace when Bo Jackson refused to sign with the Bucs? You think it was funny when McKay said “I’m in favor of it” about the execution of the team? Imagine if on the first play of the season that a DE blows by some poor sap and puts Brady on the IR. You blew it. Now you look like you just got a shipment of gold bars to your house and you forgot to close your garage door. This would be up there in the pantheon of unfortunate moments Buccaneers in history. It might even make it to #1. And it could easily happen.
The Buccaneers have to be ready to protect Brady on the first offensive play from scrimmage, and the brain trust knows that.
