The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have now officially had a better season this year than they did with Tom Brady at the helm last season. After demolishing the Philadelphia Eagles 32-9, the Bucs are now heading to the divisional round, a place that Brady could not take them to in his last season in the NFL.
They won their division and now have a huge matchup against the Detroit Lions for a chance to go back to the NFC championship. This is all in large part to the resurgent quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has done nothing but prove all the doubters wrong this year. When the Buccaneers signed Baker many thought they would be a 5 win team.
Baker had an incredible game in his third post season game now making him 2-1 in the playoffs with 337 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no turnovers. If the Buccaneers did not have so many drops, then that stat line would look even better. He is now the only quarterback in Tampa’s history to have a stat line like that in the playoffs besides for the Goat himself Tom Brady.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield Has Proven All The Doubters Wrong
This may be the most shocking team in the divisional round as so many analysts and media personal thought they would be one of the worst teams in the league, with some even saying Baker would only start for a month and then be benched. Baker proved everyone wrong and is now looking like the quarterback of the future in Tampa.
Baker made another 250,000 dollars for winning this post season game as he continues to cash in on so many of his bonuses in his contract. Baker bet on himself and now he is cashing in. The first overall pick by the Cleveland Browns was tossed around to numerous teams before he signed with the Bucs this off season after Brady retired.
When comparing Bakers season with Brady’s last season in the NFL it is clear that Baker has been better. Now Brady had one foot out the door and was 45 years old, but it is still incredibly impressive what the Bucs have been able to accomplish this year.
The Bucs find themselves in a better position than last year and Baker will have another opportunity this week toc ash in on a huge check if they can find a way to get to the NFC championship. Even if the Bucs season ends this weekend, many media personnel owe Baker a huge apology as he is clearly a starting quarterback in the NFL.
His incredible year definitely makes him deserve a multi year contract this off season, and the Bucs are going to give it to him. Baker is the best quarterback in that division and it seems like the Bucs have been able to move off of Brady 4 years faster than the New England Patriots have, and it is in large part to the amazing play of one Baker Mayfield.
