Former Buccaneers quarterback Chris Simms stated last month Tom Brady could cut his season short due to his “weird” behavior and “personal issues” amid reports that he and his wife Gisele Bündchen are headed for a divorce. Well, that divorce went through but Brady is still playing football.
Despite them coming off a comeback victory last Sunday, Simms seems to think Tom Brady is part of the problem for the 2022 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“It stinks watching them,” Simms said of the Buccaneers during an edition of “Pro Football Talk Live,” according to the Joe Bucs Fan website.
The NFL analyst for NBC Sports then gave a brutal assessment of Tom Brady.
“They’re not good on offense, and he’s not very good anymore,” Simms continued. “It’s average quarterback play, but damn, if you leave people open or stuff like that, he’s going to hit it.”
“Simms added that he believes the Bucs are a dangerous playoff team if they get in because of clutch Brady, but that doesn’t mean he’s playing good football,” Joe Bucs Fan noted.
Page Six was first to report that Brady and Bündchen are navigating martial trouble following a fight over the quarterback’s decision to un-retire from the NFL. Brady had everybody talking when he suddenly took an 11-day absence in training camp in August.
His personal life has certainly taken his focus off this year, but his bad play is just one part of a major issue with the Tampa Bay Bucs. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has shown no signs of quitting and guided the Buccaneers to a come-from-behind 16-13 win over the Los Angeles Rams this past Sunday.

Not helping matters for Brady is the lack of a run game. The Buccaneers are dead last in rushing, averaging just 60.7 yards on the ground per game.
Brady and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich seem to agree the 4-5 Buccaneers need better “effort” during games, beginning with this Sunday’s matchup against the 6-3 Seattle Seahawks.
The Bucs sit in the first place of the NFC South. There have been three teams in NFL history to win a division title with a losing record.
