The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are currently at 5-6. But, TB12 is not in denial of their inconsistency. The quarterback shoulders the blame for his mistakes. The Buccaneers’ offense is a huge part of their mediocrity this season. Fortunately for the Bucs, the NFC South as a whole is having a horrible season. This means, despite their inconsistent run, the Bucs are the best pick from a badly performing lot.

If the Bucs manage to hobble their way into the playoffs, no one would be happier than their quarterback. In his own words, ”there’s not a lot of joy in losing.’‘ The 45-year-old quarterback has provided no indication towards the desire to retire, especially after this year’s slump in performance. On the latest episode of his podcast, ‘Let’s Go!’ Brady spoke on an array of topics. One impactful line makes it very evident that the quarterback is potentially here to stay for however long it’s physically possible. In a conversation with Jim Gray, Brady said, “Look, losing is hard for all of us, but I’d rather lose and play than not play at all.” TB12 not only provided the NFL World with a quote-worthy statement but also cemented the fact that he’s going to stick around for a bit.
