This summer, when NFL training camps are open, Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask are competing for the starting job. Amid this competition, Tom Brady’s favorite ex-weapon wide receiver has clear feelings for the upcoming quarterback. Unfortunately, Brady couldn’t finish his career with an 8th Super Bowl last season. However, going into the coming season, the wide receiver believes things will be in their favor this year.
According to the 29-year-old receiver, who earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors last season, he made a statement to a sports anchor that he is not worried about the upcoming season. He has witnessed his successor QB’s offseason training and has taken a stand regarding quarterback real contender.

The star wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has high hopes for the upcoming season. WR Mike Evans is not worried about losing Tom Brady, who retired after last year. 6’5” 229 pounds WR suggested the best signal caller for the team, amid Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask, the two quarterbacks competing for the starting job. Who does Evans trust the most, and are both of them capable?

Well, the answer is ‘Yes’. Evans trusts the team to make the right choice and to win games with either of them. He stated: “Kyle’s improved a lot,” Evans mentioned that to Ari Alexander, an NBC affiliate of KPRC. “I’m really impressed with what I’ve seen with Baker. Whoever the quarterback will be, I’m positive they’re going to make the right choice and we’re going to win some games.”
29 YO Mike Evans also has a personal goal in mind, to surpass Jerry Rice’s record of 11 straight seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards. Evans is already at nine seasons and is one of the best and most consistent receivers in the NFL. However, is there a clear consensus among NFL fans and analysts on who is the best QB for the Buccaneers for the 2023 season?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a tough choice to make
Brady’s ex-Buccaneers have two candidates, Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask. 6 ft 1 in Mayfield (215 pounds) has more experience and talent, but Trask has more size 6 ft 5 in (236lb) and potential. At least for now, Mayfield also has more experience and confidence, which may help him with his accuracy. Trask, on the other hand, is still developing his mechanics and learning the new offensive scheme.
