Winston

Looking more like Winston will be the heir-apparent to Brees.

Heard something interesting on AFR today. People have asked why Winston couldn't get Tampa into the pkayoffs, while Brady could win a Super Bowl....Matt Moscona pointed out that every player that scored for the Bucs yesterday, was not on last year's team. Not even the kicker...

So...Can Peyton make an All-Pro out of Winston?

They need to trade up and get Lawrence from Clemson. As much as I am a Buckeyes fan I have my doubts about Fields in the NFL.

To what extent did Brady create his own dream team? And how did it all fit under the salary cap?

Brady demanded Gronk, Brown and Fournette. The Bucs were not a great team in the first half of the season, but got much better, especially the defense. Ariens also backed off of the No-risk-it, no-biscuit offense and added some pass routes that Tom used in New England. Specifically, deep crossing routes and some different check down routes. I don't know how it fit under the cap, especially long term.

Even as well as Tampa played in latter part of the season, the Saints were ahead of them in the playoff game by a touchdown in the third quarter and driving, when Cook fumbled a ball he was packing like a loaf of bread.
