Tom Brady speaks about young starting QBs and praises unselfish Buccaneers receivers
Sarah Jacobson Tom Brady is a well-known football player and the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots. He was recently interviewed by ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt, where he spoke about young quarterbacks and specifically praised Tampa Bay Buccaneers receivers Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson for their unselfish play.
Tom Brady spoke about young starting quarterbacks in the NFL and praised unselfish Buccaneers receivers.
After guiding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 31-29 victory against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 at Raymond James Stadium, quarterback Tom Brady became the NFL’s oldest starting signal-caller at the age of 44. Three rookie quarterbacks — Mac Jones of the New England Patriots, Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Zach Wilson of the New York Jets – all started their first career NFL game on Sunday, all of which ended in defeats. Brady discussed the next crop of starting quarterbacks, including sophomores Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers, Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins, and Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals, on his Let’s Go! podcast on Monday.
According to CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan, Brady remarked, “I don’t recall this many rookies playing.” “The days of Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Philip Rivers, and Eli Manning are long gone. He said, “Those are the people I’m accustomed to hearing about.”
Brady will take on the role of some of the young guns.
Brady said that, like every other quarterback, he will be forgotten as soon as he retires from the game. “I’ll go on, and they’ll move on to someone else, but that’s the way football, and life, goes,” the veteran quarterback said. Aside from the rookie and sophomore quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Sam Darnold of the Carolina Panthers, and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens are all under the age of 26.
Brady will face several of these young quarterbacks this season, including Wilson (22), Tagovailoa (23), Jalen Hurts (23), and Daniel Jones (23). (24). The most important matchup will take place in Week 4 when Brady and the Buccaneers go to New England to face Jones and the Patriots. Brady has a chance to surpass Brees as the NFL’s all-time passing yards leader in that game.
He also has a chance to join Manning, Brett Favre, and Drew Brees as the fourth quarterback to defeat all 32 NFL clubs.
Brady praises Evans and the Buccaneers’ wide outs.
Brady discussed his outstanding receivers during his weekly visit on SiriusXM’s “Mad Dog Radio” program. Brady stated in the interview that none of his wide receivers demand the ball during games and even referred to them as “unselfish.” Brady’s primary targets against the Cowboys were wideouts Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown, as well as tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Godwin and Brown combined for 226 yards and two touchdowns, while Gronkowski had 90 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. On six targets, Mike Evans, the Buccaneers’ best receiver, had just three receptions for 24 yards. “Mike didn’t have as many yards as I did, but I have no doubt Mike will earn his,” Brady said, according to Erin Walsh of Yardbarker.com. Evans, according to Brady, is one of the greatest all-time receivers and will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at some point. “It’s simply a question of finding the open man for me,” Brady said. Last season, Evans was the Buccaneers’ leading receiver, catching 70 receptions for 1,006 yards and 13 touchdowns, a career best.
