The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 3-3; a record nobody expected from the team of the seven-time Super Bowl-winning QB. After Bruce Arians retired as the head coach of the Bucs, he handed over the responsibility to the former coach of the New York Jets, Todd Bowles. However, concerns about Bowles’ competency are growing. Particularly, ‘is the HC’s reputation as an inept offensive coach spoiling the eagerly awaited Tom Brady season?’

The 58-year-old coach guided the Jets for four years. All those years yielded roughly one season of quarterback performance. Unfortunately, Bowles’ program’s magic ran out in Year 2, and quarterback catastrophe effectively ended the rest of his stint with the Jets. Todd Bowles believed he had struck gold with the Pewter Pirates, his second head coaching effort; mostly because of Tampa Tom, the standout QB.

Since the start of the season, the problems came one after the other. The significant news regarding Brady’s marriage’s precarious state was the main topic of conversation. From taking many leaves to showing his anger, the shot-caller looked kind of strewn through his many performances.

Brady was captured on tape mutilating his offensive linemen on the bench during last Sunday’s defeat to the Steelers, only days after many attacked him for missing a Saturday walkthrough to fly to New York for Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s wedding.

Then, Brady unintentionally offended the country of war veterans by equating NFL players who spend the entire season with their teams with troops who are “deployed” in a podcast. He later apologized for his “poor choice of words.” Even though California Cool performed well statistically, the offensive line bore no fruit. Their offense’s points per game (20.2) and yards per game (332) rankings are well behind what Brady has achieved in past seasons.
