“I Don’t Think Tom Brady Would Have Picked Tampa” – Analyst Confident QB Will Do Better Than Expected

On a recent ESPN Poll by NFL experts, Tampa Bay Buccaneers achieved a ninth-overall ranking heading into the 2020 season. The Ravens topped the chart, Kansas City Chiefs in second and San Francisco 49ers were third.

The likes of Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, Dallas Cowboys, and Philadelphia Eagles were all ranked above the Bucs. However, a certain sports analyst feels otherwise. Stephen A Smith argues against this ranking. He claims six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady would not have come to Florida if he wasn’t confident of their potential.

Freethinker Stephen Smith was featured on a recent segment of ESPN First Take. The popular sports anchor was quick to defend Tom Brady for his recent off-field antics.

“He’s ignored all the safety protocols. He’s ignored the criticism he got for practicing outside during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Not just about Tom Brady, asserts Smith

Smith further went on to address the rather harsh rankings that the Buccaneers received in a recent poll. He thinks the ‘Tompa Bay’ need to be ranked higher on the list.

“Personally, I think they should. I really do. I think they should be higher than the Eagles, I think they should be higher than the Cowboys. That’s just to name a few right there.”

“We talking about Tom Brady, we talking about Godwin and Mike Evans, we talking about OJ Howard, Rob Gronkowski, Cameron Brate. I don’t think Tom Brady would have picked Tampa if he wasn’t confident about the weapons that they had,” Smith added.
