Kevin Minter Talks Tom Brady, Jameis Winston, Minter’s New Contract & More

March 12th, 2021

Big day today for Bucs backup linebacker Kevin Minter, who just inked a new one-year deal to return to Tampa Bay for his ninth NFL season.

Minter spoke on KGME-AM in Phoenix and Joe was taking notes while cradling a Wavemaker Amber Ale from Big Storm Brewing Co.

*On Tom Brady, Minter says there are many misconceptions. “He’s laughing and joking … he just wants to be one of the guys.”

*Some players were apologizing during the Super Bowl boat parade because they regretted being skeptical of whether a boat parade would be any fun.

*On his brand new contract, Minter said his agent got things done quickly after a lot of back and forth. Interestingly, he said of the Bucs’ front office. “The people upstairs, they want everyone back. You know, they are really pushing this year to try to get everybody signed early.”

*”Day 1,” Minter said of when he knew the 2020 Bucs would be great. No surprise, that Minter said his feeling was all about the intensity of Tom Brady and how he brought that out of the rest of the offense. “Even the huddle break at the first practice. It was just, ‘Break!!!'”… We loved Jameis. Love Jameis. We had him for a couple of years. He was a great guy. But when I say it was a night-and-day difference, we knew we had a real shot with this guy [Brady].”

*Minter laughed and said The Brady Effect on defense is very much about not wanting to “fu** up” with Brady watching because he carries that much influence and is so deadly serious about winning.

*After “stupid” Bucs losses early this season, Minter noted that “No. 12 was the calmest guy in the room, always. He was like, ‘Don’t worry. We’ll turn it on.'”

*Minter shared how he was hammered for Super Bowl tickets by people he knows — and by people he doesn’t know very well. He joked about how he doesn’t have the pull people think he has.

*On how special the Super Bowl win was, “You didn’t just win the game; you wupped their ass.”

  3. kyle Says:

    Love tb12!!! Put him in the ring of honor now please..

  4. RioDeJaneiroBucsFan Says:

    Good depth, important signing. Shaq, AB and Gronk are coming back soon
    Go Bucs!!!

  5. Cainishere Says:

    Minter is a great addition and with Shaq departing soon it will be needed.

  6. von Says:

    minter I love it men, solid backup piece stepped up when Devin was out and great special teams people. VET

  7. LISTNFRMAFAR Says:

    Oneilyall, you reading this???

  8. Bucs since 76 Says:

    Shaq not going no where. Brady said “ Let’s keep the band together” Shaq said “Yes sir”. The Bucs will pay Shaq he will be back.

  9. NJBucs Says:

    @cainishere, you a trollin’ aints fan a dude? Minter has been here since ‘18 and doesn’t play the same position as Shaq

  10. Adrnagy Says:

    Brady is talking about keeping his band together. .. gronk. AB. Godwin. Fournette. Oj. Brate.

    He’s not talking about the other side , where he doesn’t play in.

  11. DoooshLaRue Says:

    … We loved Jameis. Love Jameis. We had him for a couple of years. He was a great guy. But when I say it was a night-and-day difference, we knew we had a real shot with this guy [Brady].”
    _______

    But yeah, a single player can’t be held accountable right?

    The final dagger in the Nuthugger’s heart.

  12. NJBucs Says:

    Oneilyall = NDog?

  13. mark2001 Says:

    Please guys…we all want Shaq back. But let me state the obvious…he just might want too much money to stay here. And it only takes one owner that will pay him millions more. And if those millions difference is more important than staying here, he is gone. I hope not…but please…there is no guarantee.

  14. Jmarkbuc Says:

    Adrnagy

    Seriously?

  15. Alvin Scissors Harper Says:

    “Night and Day.” Oh man, Joe, please don’t let Ndoggie read this blurb! He’ll be trying to jump off the Skyway. On the way down, he will yell that those of us on this blog are “clueless.”

  16. Buczilla Says:

    Too cool.

  17. JimmyJack Says:

    Very wierd that some of yall think Shaq wont be resigned. Dont think your following the signs. Brady just reworked his contract to save us 19M. Levonte signed a deal that saved us another 10M of CAP space. That money alone gets Shaq back in the house along with Gronk……And you get Shaq to sign a upfront deal like David did now you got the money needed to resign Suh and Succop.

    Lets quit overthinking it. We just won a SuperBowl with this team. And they will likely play better in 2021. They want all these players back and got the cash. Right now we should not be questioning Shaq returning. We should be waiting for the breaking news thats he is oficially signing.

  18. Cannon Says:

    @Joe – I suggest switching up to bourbon from time to time. A 4 Roses Single Barrel is damn tasty.

  19. BucsfanChad Says:

    This will quietly be a really important signing. He knows Bowles defense in and out, plays special teams, and is a quality back up for David and White. Great to have him back.

  20. D-Rome Says:

    Remember the days way back when people, including one of the Joes, thought we should resign Jameis to a long term deal?

    LOL!

  21. Jim Says:

    https://www.joebucsfan.com/2019/08/bruce-arians-says-jameis-needs-a-legitimate-team/#comments

    From the start on Winston’s final year. Read it, along with the 94 comments. Classic…

  22. Oneilbuc Says:

    All yall on here are the ones who talk Jamies and worry about what Jamies is doing or what’s going on with him . I don’t have to hate or talk bad about a former player of the team. And I will say it again just like I said for Jamies when the next young quarterback comes in . If they have him throwing the ball 45 times up the field with that trash no risk it no biscuit with no running game you are going to get the same results . And that’s another young quarterback that will not be develop. Remember Brady in the no risk it no biscuit he threw picks and yall blamed BL for it . Then they started running the ball and brought in Brady offense and the rest was history . So yall need to get off the Jamies talk and move on from Jamies lol lol 😆 😂 because I been move on from Jamies the moment he went to New Orleans. And as far as the yall talk I’m born and raised in Texas the state with the most NFL players in the country where football is the only sport that matters.

  23. Joe in Michigan Says:

    Off topic, looking at a draft magazine, they have the top 10 picks of 2020, and “who they should’ve selected”. Wirfs “should’ve” went to the NY Giants with the 4th selection, and even better, Antoine Winfield Jr. “should’ve” went to the Browns with the 10th selection. Bucs hit gold.

  24. Winny Testaverde Says:

    OneLilbucaroo sez:

    because I been move on from Jamies the moment he went to New Orleans.

    Lots of irony there. Lots & lots…

  25. tbbucs3 Says:

    You guys are unreal taking a victory lap on Minter saying Tom Brady is better than Jameis Winston.

    You know who else Tom Brady is better than? Every other quarterback who has ever touched a football.

  26. Bird Says:

    I do think bucs resign shaq

    The “yessir” comment in response to brady bringing the band back together is telling

    Look at all the teams restructuring now
    Chiefs dropped their two starting tackles and just redid mahommes deal
    Look. Covid made this the norm for this year anyway with less cap and teams wanting to be competitive.

    Shoot. The saints have redone like 8 guys so they are in real trouble

    Bucs too smart to make this the norm. But next year they had like 100 mil in space depending on number next year. We can push a ton next year. We have a team that does not really have a weakness. We can add depth in draft and keep our guys. Lets go for the 3 peat with brady window

    So much fun being a buc fan right now.
    So happy that some people are still miserable
    You know who you are.

  27. Bird Says:

    Go back and find all the losers who said the brady decision would be a disaster
    The archives are amazing.

    Again suck it fools

  28. Oneilbuc Says:

    I’ve seen better quarterbacks better than Brady . Brady has to be in a good situation to be good and he has been on great teams. Those runs with the Patriots I will ask this question again. How many times did the Patriots defenses give up 30 points in a season 🤔 ?? You ain’t going to no superbowl with a bad or a average defense it’s just not happening. But I’ve seen average quarterbacks on superbowl teams .

  29. Adrnagy Says:

    You can go to the playoff every year if you had the dolphins. Jets. Bills. In your division. Playing against qb like mark Sanchez. Chad Pennington. Brady Quinn, Trent edwards. Lol

  30. Adrnagy Says:

    But not so if you have. Drew breees , Matt Ryan. Cam Newton in their prime.

  31. DoooshLaRue Says:

    Oneill,

    You’re full of it man.
    You were bitching about how JayMiss was done wrong about a month ago, maybe less.
    Don’t act like you took the high road, you didn’t.

    I can however give you a little credit for not disappearing like the Queen of the Nuthugger Brigade ndog did.

    I think we all feel just a bit more clueless without him.

  32. Jim Hodges Says:

    I’ve been a Patriot fan since early 60’s and a Brady fan since he took over for Drew. As a Florida resident since 2000 Daytona Beach I was so happy to see Brady in Tampa. I mean Tampa was a force before Brady, and it all came together. While perusing next seasons schedule Tampa could go undefeated.

  33. Chris L Says:

    Joe you’re truly incredible how you are able to listen to all these random interviews on all platforms in obscure places. Do you have like some crazy algorithm tracking anything bucs? Anyways well done. Always great content

  34. Joe in Michigan Says:

    Oneilbucs: Alright, you’ve already won the worst post of the year with that one. That’s saying a lot, with 9 months left in the year. Do you have any comprehension of what happened with the Bucs in the last year since Brady’s joined the team? Hahaha

  35. JimmyJack Says:

    Oniel I always dislike all the fans who make excuses for winning. But youre one of them wierdo ones who makes excuses for winning. What gives man?

    Hate to break it to ya bro but theres no more debating Winston. Winning a SuperBowl declares that dropping Winston was the proper move. That is unless your goal is less then winning a title.

  36. Oneilbuc Says:

    Doosh You believe that I’m trying to take a high road just because I don’t bash former players?? And I told you before and I still believe that when they bring in the next quarterback if they make him throw the ball 45 times a game up the field just about every play and don’t give him a running game like they did Jamies it will be the same results regardless who the quarterback is . But again no one can answer my question about the Patriots defenses giving up 30 points a in a season the hold time Brady was there. It’s not Brady that’s the problem with me and the team winning the superbowl because he will tell you the same thing I’m telling you !!! Team !!!!!

  37. Bird Says:

    So favre and brees had 1 superbowl win
    Manning and roethlisberger had 2 superbowls

    Brady has 7. 😂

    Yes montana was once my guy years ago. Never cared or thought about brady as i hated he always won. And bucs lost. But you cant question brady as the best now. Captain obvious has left the building.

    Oh and i bet some of those qbs had good defenses too. 😂

    Its amazing all these qbs you have seen that are better ? 😂
    Trust me we know why you dont like brady. So obvious

    You guys keep everyone entertained on here. Keep it up. Its hilarious

  38. Bird Says:

    Jameis threw the ball literally one time a game more then brady this year in no risk it no bisquit.
    Yes that is one attempt per game
    Look for yourself

    Find another excuse

    —-

    Oh and bucs ran for more yards under jameis last 2 years then this year with brady

    Find another excuse

  39. Bird Says:

    Oh and why did patriots have good defenses

    Cause he takes a middle of the road salary for his entire career
    And they can get other guys
    Oh And guys come to win with him

    Just like he is doing now
    15th highest salary

    Get another excuse

  40. Oneilbuc Says:

    Jimmy lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 you are the one who’s making excuses for winning every time you say Brady was the reason why we won . And Brady is the reason why LVD, Devin White, and others are good . Lol lol 😆 🤣 I just give credit to the hold team and I will never put one player over the hold team and it makes yall mad . That’s what the media did to the Patriots where yall forget how good his teams has been . And now they’re doing the same thing with us and yall are so blinded with hate towards Jamies yall can’t see it !!

  41. Tampabaybucfan Says:

    Kevin Minter is a quality backup to both LVD & White……and a very good ST player…..it’s players like Minter that give us the depth we need…

    We were extremely fortunate last year to have as few injuries as we did….

  42. JimmyJack Says:

    Actually I was one of the few thats been hyping the defense since Todd Bowles got here. Ive been defending the defense and the secondary in particular for the last two years……Along with that I been dodging moron and idiot comments from other commentors.

    And I dont care if i was right. I been wrong my fair share just like us all. Heck, i was wrong about Winston. I wanted him back.

    But theres no more argument about this no more. All the facts are in. Letting go of Winston was the proper move.

  43. Joe in Michigan Says:

    Oneilbuc: Uh, if you never put one player above the whole team, why do you constantly talk about Jameis?

  44. Colonel Angus Says:

    We ran the ball more with Winston. Not by much, but still more.

  45. Adrnagy Says:

    I was wrong about Brady. And jameis. I wanted jameis back. Jameis has a arm. No brain. I’ll take jameis for a back up anyday unless he develops a brain.
    But Brady prove me wrong. I mean the way he balled up it was disrespect not to be mvp. Imo. New team. New offense. No preseason. New coach.
    I do think Brady gave the defense and players confidence. The biggest impact imo were the penalties. Cleaned up. That’s what Brady brought. Winning

  46. Bird Says:

    Oneil and adr

    Please see above and holla back
    Again my comments have to go thru moderation so cant respond immediately

  47. JimmyJack Says:

    Oniel but you sound like you dont understand reality of the QB position in the NFL. They always get a bigger share of the blame or credit. Call it fair or not this is the natural reaction of a NFL fan. This goes for every fanbase. This is not exclusive to Tampa Bay. Head Coachs are treated the same way and typically get more blame or credit.

    Secondly this notion you make that we all think Brady is the reason we won has clearly been manifested in your own head. All throughout the pkayoffs and SB fans were giving tons of credit to the defense. Your recollection of events is just made up jibberish……And really ypu should know better as a Tampa Bay fan. This team has historically been built on defense. We know what a good one looks like when we see it. Shame on you dude.

    GO BUCS!!!!!

  48. August 1976 Buc Says:

    It one thing to post different points to discuss or argue, pros and cons. BUT What the players say that play and are in the lockeroom has much more weight than a poster trying to say and sometimes force down someones throat. The bottom line is the culture began to change the moment Brady signed 12 months ago. Becuase the players believe. The comment from Minter “It was night and day difference” from the year before and last year. Jameis has all the talent needed but has to mature to take advantage of his obvious talent. Maybe he will, maybe he wont, we will see. I hope the best for him, just not against the Bucs.

  49. Dapostman Says:

    @Bird,

    Because Winston and Fitzpatrick contributed to the yearly rushing totals that’s why the Bucs rushed for more yards in 2018 & 2019. If you take rushing by RB’s only they did not.

    Nice try though.

  50. Oneilbuc Says:

    August You have made my hold point and I thank you for it bro . That’s all how I’ve been seeing it just like that . I have nothing against Brady I’ve always liked Brady more than Payton Manning . I know a guy who played with Brady Antwan Smith the runningback in the first superbowl with Brady . And he said Brady was a down to earth guy . I’m the type I rather my own players at key positions that we developed. But regardless of all of that I still wish Jamies any other player who played for us nothing but the best until they play us !!! Go bucs!!

  51. DoooshLaRue Says:

    Excellent posts
    Bird and Jimmy.

  52. Bucsfan951 Says:

    Damn I thought winning a super bowl would change these ppls comments to something positive. All I seem to read are negative posts. You guys are such bo*ner killers for real!

    NEWS FLASH LADIES AND GENTS!!! BUCS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!

    Be effing happy!

  53. August 1976 Buc Says:

    I was thinking about anyone downplaying Brady and his accomplishments or any player just to make a point. There is no way to lessen the accomplishments of Brady in NE or in Tampa Bay. Yes he is only 1 person, but the intangibles are easily seen and also hard to quantify as a whole. 7 SB’s is one of the measuring sticks, but as a whole you just cant use analytics for guys like Brady and Jordan. GO BUCS!!!!

  54. Oneilbuc Says:

    Well I’m leave it like this again I will never make this superbowl about one guy . And that doesn’t mean that I’m down playing Brady play on the field . I just don’t think he’s the goat because I don’t believe in goats in team sports. Even Jordan said the same thing . But if there is a such thing in goats in team sports Lawrence Taylor is the goat because he actually changed the game . Every left tackle or right tackle need to thank him because he made them millionaires. Just like Von Miller , Mack , Kevin Green, Shaq Barrett right now is asking for more money and others. They all need to call LAWRENCE Taylor and thank him . Even the rookies RT and LT need to call and say thanks .

  55. Bird Says:

    Dapostman

    Hallelujah. So glad you came out of hiding . Scuurrrred

    Check out these beauties:

    “Jameis is playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers”
    “Jameis is this generation jim plunkett”

    ———

    So rush offense under jameis 2019 ranked 24th
    Rush offense under brady 2020 ranked 28th

    So you argue its cause jameis could scramble?
    Everyone knows brady cant run. He doesnt even try. You know what he does instead. He drops back to the same spot every play and gets it out around 2.5 seconds. Google cam jordan comments on brady. He was pissed they lost and thought saints were better team. But he said this about brady. It doesnt matter if he has a garbage line. He will release the ball in 2.5 seconds so it doesnt matter.

    Brady 2nd least sacked between mahommes and rodgers
    Jameis was 5th most sacked

    Again …brady throws the ball away if nothing there. He doesnt give a play a chance to go wrong. Guess who did run around ?

    Brady 40 tds and 12 picks and 0 fumbles – 12 turnovers
    Janeis 33 tds and 30 picks and 5 fumbles – 35 turnovers

    Nice try though

  56. Lokog Says:

    I think the reason we ran the ball with winsnot is kuz he just str8 up sucks

  57. August 1976 Buc Says:

    Onielbuc…Just like people want to downplay Shaq because of whatever reason. The Bucs have maybe the best defensive front 7 in the NFL. And I have said without that fierce pass rush the front 7 generated, they would not have won the Super Bowl. But I say pay Shaq because AS A WHOLE they have a fierce pass rush when healthy. Yes it is always about team, but some players cause the unit to be exponentially better versus other players. And definitely yes, LT changed the game, specifically Joe Gibbs as coach of WFT creating the one back offense, just to put a blocker on LT, and Shaq will be thanking LT just as soon as he signs with the Bucs hopefully or another team. GO BUCS!!!!!

  58. James Leventis Says:

    None of this is true is what Lamarcus told me.

  59. Bird Says:

    Oneil

    Go look at everyones posts. Everyone loves this team
    Does brady get a ton of props? Yup.

    So does every player and coach and gm give him credit
    And players on every other teams too

    Do people talk about white , shaq , lvd , suh , jpp, davis , vea , evans , godwin, gronk , lenny , rojo, marpet , winfield , wirfs? Yup

    And other teams do too

    I got evans and lvd jerseys. No brady (yet)
    You are caught up in some strange world where is just another guy

    But was brady the difference ? Absolutely
    And no it was not like brad johnson comparison like you say

  60. tbbucs3 Says:

    I dont know where you guys get this but throwing for 5,000 yards doesnt equate to running the ball often.

  61. Bird Says:

    Tbbucs3

    Good point.

    I agree. 5000 is better then 4600

    And 35 is better then 12
    My bad

    And we you are down most games big you should run it

  62. Dapostman Says:

    Bird I merely pointed out you were wrong about the rushing stats. The facts are Winston and Fitzpatrick helped the 2018 & 2019 rush stats. This is not an opinion but a fact.

    Don’t blame me because you tried to make a point with a falsehood. That’s on you clown.

    Your Winston Derangement Syndrome is on full display.

  63. Bird Says:

    Da post

    Haha

    Dont blame me cause you luv noles holes. Fess up. You would go 5 rounds on his speed bag.
    Winston derangement?
    Bro check yo sheets

    I think you said to the “haters” 5 years 150 mil

    Maybe i am wrong but i am stoked if he is saints qb. Maybe he proves me wrong and he is brady for the saints ?

  64. Bird Says:

    See you in 4 months Ssssccccuuurrreeedddd

    Maybe?

    Big ole puss. Own yo sheets

  65. Bird Says:

    Thanks joe
    That was quick

    Shaq is in brother
    The band will be back

  66. Stanglassman Says:

    The Bucs weren’t winning any super bowls with the defense they fielded when Jameis was here. I’d rather win with own own draft picks but since the day Brady signed now on board because he’s a Buc now.

  67. Joe in Michigan Says:

    Stanglassman: 9 of the 11 defensive starters were the same guys from 2019 (Winston’s last year) and 2020: Suh, Vea, Gholston, JPP, David, White, Shaq, Davis, and Whitehead.

  68. LISTNFRMAFAR Says:

    Oneilyall, you said one man doesn’t win SB’S. You are correct but one man can be the major reason you get there. Do you really think it is a coincidence Brady has been to 10 SB’s and won 7? He IS the common denominator. He’s played with different teammates no a different team, so it’s not like a Dallas & Steelers dynasty virtually the same teams. FYI Mark Gastineau changed the edge rush game, LT just perfected it.

  69. youngbucs Says:

    Lol oneilbucs excuses all day. Mostly all of Winston 30 ints were 15 yds and under he can’t read coverage. It has nothing to do with no risk no biscuits. He only tossed 5 ints over 20 yds in 2019. By the way Brady lead the league in deep completions in this system. So I ask you why didn’t he toss excessive ints????? Stop the excuses!!!!!

  70. youngbucs Says:

    Bird all of oneilbucs excuses are easy to knock down.

  71. adam from ny Says:

    nice…

    but mad quiet on the nunez-roches front

  72. youngbucs Says:

    Stanglassman you’re joking right you gotta be. The defense was better than most think in jameis last year. You better check yo sheets!!! How can you talk about that defense and jameis in the same sentence 😂. Worst starting field position in the league over 100 something points off turnovers alone. Some of y’all need to stop. I can’t wait to hear the excuses for winston if he get an opportunity this year. When will the nut huggers hold him accountable for anything???????

  73. adam from ny Says:

    also gotta wonder if mcclendon is already locked in for another year…

    i don’t know his jets contract specifics…

    he was decent in spot duty…or actually more than spot duty…he was catching rotational reps…

    if both of these guys are out of here, mccoy then become a good hard look at league minimum…

    i can’t believe i just said that…ha

  74. Oneilbuc Says:

    Listnfrmafar. NO Lawrence Taylor changed the game of football . You must be a young guy or you don’t like LT . But if it was a goat in team sports Lawrence Taylor would be the greatest football player of all time. LT played on bad teams and he still dominated the game . He won MVP on a bad team he didn’t need to have a good defensive line to be great. Just like Derrick Brooks changed apart of the game with being a underside linebacker. Devin White and David will be playing free or strong safety if it wasn’t for Brooks .

  75. LISTNFRMAFAR Says:

    Oneilyall, you have no idea what you are talking about. Do yourself a favor and look up Mark Gastineau, he was 6’5″ defensive end that ran a 4.5 or 4.7 forty. He played late 70’s early 80’s. He played before LT, they did overlap in the 80’s. He changed the pass rush game. Again not down playing LT, he was one of the biggest defensive forces that ever played but Gastineau changed the pass rush philosophy because of his strength and speed.

  76. Oneilbuc Says:

    Listnfrmafar I know who you are talking about he played for the Jets and he was good . But he wasn’t no LT he wasn’t even in the same world with Lawrence Taylor . He more like a Kevin Green type Lawrence Taylor is the one who changed the game !!!

  77. Tye Says:

    5 years of games is enough proof Winston NEVER gave the Bucs a REAL shot at even a playoff game, much less a SB…. Thank God they got Brady and got it done!

    I’ve seen better quarterbacks better than Brady . Brady has to be in a good situation to be good and he has been on great teams. Those runs with the Patriots I will ask this question again. How many times did the Patriots defenses give up 30 points in a season 🤔 ?? You ain’t going to no superbowl with a bad or a average defense it’s just not happening. But I’ve seen average quarterbacks on superbowl teams

    Jameis is that you? Seriously the comments I keep seeing you post it looks like your either jameis or one of his buddies and filled with envy of tom brady.

    Yeah Brady just lucked his way to 14 conference championships, 10 Superbowls and 7 championships 😂🤦‍♂️

    Brady has carried terrible defenses multiple times to the Superbowl.. look at 2011 and 2014.

    Clown

    Very nice signing. Minter played very solid when called upon and is a stud special teamer. Keep it going Licht.

    Oneilyall, I am not saying Gastineau was better than LT, he was not he was also a def tackle, LT was a linebacker. I am saying prior to Gastineau defensive pass rushers were slower bigger guys. He went against the norm and used his speed to rush from the outside. After him teams started to draft stronger quicker guys for that position. Jason Taylor, Randle, Maginnis etc. By the way Green has more total sacks than LT. I once sponsored a celebrity golf tournament in Cape Cod Massachusetts. I paid $1600 so my company could be on LT’s caddie bib. LT never showed up for his tee time, he got too F’d up the night before to show up. Not the biggest fan, I was out $1600 plus company loss of exposure and charity suffered to because at that time he was a huge draw. Not exactly Brady like mentality.

    Tom Brady is the greatest football player in nfl history! 🛑 arguing with a 🤡 who has a bias because his messiah got the boot.

    The Patriots defenses has always been good . They have a great coach who has took a dpleated team to 7 and 9 . His team had the most opt outs. Brady will tell you the same thing. This is why I listen to podcasts like buco locker . And I’m looking for more to listen to because I’m tired of the Brady is every thing talk. I’m tired of debating because you have your opinion and I have minds. Some say LeBron is better than Jordan . Some say Jordan is better than LeBron . Some say Bill Russell , Otio Graham has 10 championships with the Browns . And it’s been some say he should be the best . So it’s all opinion the bucs won the superbowl and we wouldn’t have made without the defense and the offense playing good also with the special teams . And as far as the ones who wants to keep bringing up Jamies move on stop being obsessed over Jamies !!! Lol lol 😆 🤣 😂 man !!!

    The “Secret Sauce” for two decades in New England was Tom Brady

    For two decades he took less money to keep quality players around him, and that is after winning Superbowl after Superbowl.

    He did have some advantages.

    The AFC East lacked any serious competition. There’s 6 games a year that where almost gimmies.

    Belichick is a good defensive coach and the Patriots had good defenses.

    The kicker is Brady constantly restructuring his contract to help the team win. That along with Belichick”s formula of cutting players before their skills drop off. And finally players went to New England to have a legit shot at a ring every season.

    This went on for two decades. But eventually the balance act fell apart. Belichick believed Max Kellerman and “The Cliff” and essentially booted Brady out the door.

    Tom comes to Tampa. We have weapons, a decent O-line and good defense with a young backfield but amazing front 7.

    Tom got us to the playoffs, and in the playoffs he scored enough points for the defense to seal the deal.

    Football is a team sport much more that basketball where one elite player can dominate.

    Without weapons to throw to, a o-line that kept him clean, a running game to keep opposing defenses honest and a defense that is able to dominate. Tom doesn’t win all those rings. But take Tom out of the equation and those teams don’t win Superbowls.

    I don’t mind players getting paid for what they are worth. But some seem to get paid for the HOPE that they will be worth it.

    Tom has the best resume in football and still winning is more important to him than $$

    Bucos locker lol you like all winston stans oneilbucs. Bucos locker was mad about jameis just like you. He trashed everything about the team but said he not gonna talk about winston because winston was not a major problem. Talk about delusional. There is no excuses for your QB leading the league in turnovers for 5 years straight I’m sorry. Jameis Winston is a BUST until he proves otherwise he’ll have an opportunity show us shut us up. Like Brady shut you and a lot of his haters up let the field do the talking.

  85. TomBrady_converted bucs fan Says:

    Oneibuc you are such a clown.

    Otto graham won 7 championships not 10 and it was in an 8 team league where barely any black players and it was not something players could even make enough money to live on so they worked in off-season. To compare that to the 15 billion dollar 32 nfl with salary cap and having to win 3-4 playoff games vs one.. it’s just assanine

    You are a clown. Period

  86. LISTNFRMAFAR Says:

    Oneilyall, do you realize the only true #1 receiver Brady has ever had until this year was Randy Moss and Troy Brown, both were on their last legs. Brady made Welker ( a #3 receiver for Miami), Dion Branch, who disappeared once he left NE, Edleman, Rashae Codwell, Joe Jacoby, Amendola, Hogan, Donte Stalworth, Doresett, Old man Chad Johnson, Givens, etc. Why do you think Gronk wants to stay with him? He makes receivers better than they are. I wonder how many QB’s could of won with this cast of characters? Answer, NONE!

  87. Oneilbuc Says:

  101. BUCFAN4LIFE Says:

    Like BA said , “There will be money involved but sometimes money doesn’t matter .” I believe all of our FA’s will be back because a SB ring and the best chance to get one outweighs a few more $$$ on a contract when they already make millions . Like CG said that he’ll play for a little less than to go to another Team (who has no shot at a SB) and be miserable . If any of our top 8 FA’s leave there’ll be plenty of high caliber other FA’s at that particular position that would salivate at the chance to come here and try to get that “ring” . I’m not concerned at ALL !

    Man, it was nice for the few months we had without the Trolls… they’ve changed their name and are back again. It the worst thing we can all do is engage with them. Let’s just ignore them and maybe they’ll go away. I made the mistake of reading two of those stupid posts before I came to my senses and just started skipping them. It’s so weird to me to pretend to be a fan of a team, only to come on the blogs for that team and talk about some never was QB being better than the guy that just lead the same team to a SB win. The pandemic has just given some people too much free time haha. Go Bucs!
