Bucs Nation Confused by GM’s Stance on Post Tom Brady Era: “Affects Everything They Do Moving Forward”

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rose up to the top when Tom Brady joined them at the end of the 2019 season. But now that he is playing no more, the franchise is looking at an uncertain future. However daunting it might be for the fans, but it seems like the Bucs GM is unfazed by it. And his stance for the post Brady era has confused the Buccaneers nation.

Brady led the franchise to their first Super Bowl title in almost two decades in the 2020 season. So how will they cope with their talisman’s departure? The Bucs GM Jason Licht has a plan. But are the fans convinced?

Buccaneers’ plan after the Tom Brady retirement 

The Buccaneers GM Jason Licht has a plan to fill the void in the team after Tom Brady left the team. According to him, the plan for the future hasn’t changed much and the franchise is working on bringing in the best players it can for the future.

“I’m gonna be honest, we aren’t really changing anything we do in the draft. In terms of that, it’s not affecting us. I mean if you walk through the hall, our scouts and coaches.. People are all-in up there; I mean we’re trying to win. So, we’re trying to bring in the best players that we can this year and it’s no different than we have in the past,” Licht said in a press interaction.

Licht hasn’t ruled out drafting a QB with their 19th first-round pick even as they have signed Baker Mayfield as a direct replacement for Brady. They also have Kyle Trask to give some competition to Mayfield next season. But it shouldn’t surprise anyone if the franchise did go for a QB. Although the fans are a little confused.

The confusion among the fans

Many fans expressed their confusion over the Bucs GM’s stance for the post-Tom Brady era.  Will nothing change for the Bucs even after losing the seven-time Super Bowl champion QB? Here are some fan reactions.

“Cap. Tom Brady was the starting quarterback. It affects everything they do moving forward,” a fan sent a clear message.

“How many qbs he needs? We have other construction sites,” another fan said. 

“Let’s just draft another kicker,” a fan wrote.

“So, why did we draft Trask,” another fan wrote.

Many draft prospects are in this season’s draft like Anthony Richardson or CJ Stroud and many others. But will they be on the board when the Bucs’ first-round pick comes at number nineteen?

The fans might be confused but the GM looks clear about the future. Are the Bucs ready to deal with the aftermath of the Tom Brady retirement? Fans would sure hope so.
