Tom Brady spent the first 20 years of his NFL career under Bill Belichick, so having to work with a new head coach will certainly be a different experience for the quarterback. But this is exactly the situation in which Brady currently finds himself, as he bolted Belichick and the New England Patriots to join Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.
However, Brady isn't stressing the potential difference in philosophies. As far as he is concerned, it is simply a matter of executing and getting the ball where it needs to be:
“Everybody has different styles and philosophies and how they call things,” said Brady, according to Greg Auman of The Athletic. “Football to me is about throwing the ball to the guy who's open. If he's open deep, that's where you throw it.”
Brady makes a good point.
You can come up with as many schemes and play calls as you want, but if the quarterback is unable to properly deliver the football to his receivers, none of that will matter.
Plus, Brady won six Super Bowls during his time in New England, establishing himself as the greatest signal-caller to ever play the game. So, at this point, he can probably adapt to anything.
It will also certainly help Brady to have wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in tow, not to mention a couple of talented tight ends in O.J. Howard and Cameron Brate.
The Buccaneers have not made the playoffs in 12 years, but Brady seems confident he can change that.
