Brady’s lackluster performance this season is quite uncharacteristic. At Week 9, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stand at 3-5, with three consecutive losses. This hasn’t happened to Brady in a while. The Bucs’ offensive struggle is visibly evident in their games.
The stats on Tom Brady are not convincing enough
Hall of farmer Shannon Sharpe had some things to say about Tom Brady. The former tight and co-host of ‘Undisputed’ spoke of Tom’s current performance.
He said, “When I look at Tom, Tom’s numbers right now doesn’t have the same impact, they don’t impact you the same. Skip, there was a time when Tom Brady threw for 325, oh he was winning the game. But now those 325s are coming when he’s down two scores when he’s down three scores.”
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will next face the Los Angeles Rams. Both teams are recent Super Bowl winners, but neither looks in good shape. Speaking of the Bucs’ next match-up against the Rams, Sharpe added, “So for me, I took the Rams. I think it’s going to be a very close ball game. Both teams have underperformed. I think both teams’ fan bases are very upset”

While his performance plummets on the field, Tom Brady is also dealing with challenges in his personal life. The quarterback and now ex-wife model, Gisele Bündchen, recently announced the finalization of their divorce. Their statements were released to the public after months of speculation.
Brady and Bündchen have decided to co-parent their children. On his podcast ‘Let’s Go!’ Brady said his priorities were his role as a father and winning games on the field. Bucs fans will anticipate more of the latter in the upcoming games.
