“I Think It’s Like Peanut Butter And Jelly”

Bucs OC Byron Leftwich

Joe’s always interested in retired offensive lineman Max Starks talking Bucs because he spent many years around Bucco Bruce Arians and is a close friend of Byron Leftwich.

Starks is a sometimes co-host on SiriusXM NFL Radio, and yesterday he was asked whether he thinks Leftwich and Tom Brady are likely on the same page.

Starks assured listeners that they go way beyond a working well together.

“I think it’s like peanut butter and jelly,” Starks said. “They’re from the same era, so they see things very similarly.

“I think it’s a great cohesion between those two, you know, I talked to B-Lef throughout this and that was one of the biggest things, he’s like, ‘It’s so easy to have a conversation and make a reference and somebody gets it.’”

Remember when Brady was busted for walking into the wrong South Tampa house (nextdoor to Leftwich’s house) right after he signed with the Bucs? Starks emphasized that Brady hustling to Leftwich’s house is not the norm for a player and coach relationship, and it’s just fine to read into that as an example of the bond that’s been built.

It’s going to be so fascinating to see how this Bucs offense melds the desires of Brady, Leftwich and Arians.

    Toms like , “look lefty, lets get something straight. This is my offense now, and if you know whats good for ya you’ll stay out of my way. You just sit there, hold your little clipboard and keep telling yourself your an OC and I’ll tell the world we are great pals ok?”

    Brady (43) drafted in 2000
    Leftwich (40) drafted in 2003

    This is not your typical coach-player relationship.

    I’ll take that bet, unless he retires from health problems Arians will be here.

    Yeah I remember. That is when One journalist liked to overlook ALL of his accolades and label him “home invading”
    Hard to believe how hard that is for you to see but……….hey you are a ‘journalist’ afterall.

    But “Accused r8pist, BB gun toting, Squirrel shooting, Vandalist, Obscenity shouting, Uber ‘hassleist’ lying to his team and Employers, Most Turnover in the league 3rd string QB” is still “America’s QB” kinda stuff is ……………Well I ain’t the only one so…….let others crucify me.
    Damn Joe! You run an awesome site but you can’t see the forest for the trees sometimes!

    How could we ever forget since that’s all you reference him as, every freakin time you post about him??? Just imagine if when someone screws up they always get referred as that screw up, forever? I don’t remember uber grabbing QB Jameis Winston…

    I like to see Joe’s face when Brady negates him an interview for being so disrespectful….🤔

    Won’t happen this year. Maybe not his last year with the Bucs in 2021.

    Oh, well.

    Ira wants to talk to Brady much more than Joe does.

    Kobe, you also guaranteed Rojo wouldn’t get 50 yards in a game and if he did you guaranteed/promised you’d never post again. Yet here we are. Nobody cares about your worthless guarantees. They mean nothing.
