I'm surprised Tampa fired Leftwich. He was handpicked by Arians so I thought he would at least get another chance with them. Maybe they know something the public doesn't.

That offense was so off this year. I watched a few games, and it was amazing to see the receivers and TB not on the same page so often. Last in the league in rushing. They won a few games due to TB being TB, but that offense just never looked to be anything special. I don't know whose fault it ultimately was, but for me it falls on Leftwich. I'd rather not see him here.

Leftwich had the #3 ranked offense the year Winston was starting for them at QB, and had a top 10 offense until this past year.

If we're talking about the 2019 season, they also had one of the worst defenses in the NFL, so those numbers are likely skewed by the fact that they played from behind all season.

After that, yeah Tom Brady can elevate pretty much any offense... It doesn't explain what happened this year though. He was fired so someone didn't think he was getting it done.

It's not like they don't have talent either. Seems a similar situation as what transpired here actually; not a great O-line, but enough weapons to get it done, and didn't.
