Tom Brady: "Sometimes I think I'm the worst quarterback"

Tom Brady, considered the best player in NFL history, said on Friday that his poor results in the 2022 NFL season with the Buccaneers have caused him to sometimes think he is the worst quarterback.

"Sometimes when I go in, I think I'm the worst quarterback who has ever played. That's how it is when you're losing, you think everything is horrible, although it's probably not all that way," the 45-year-old explained at a press conference. .

The winner of seven Super Bowl rings is going through one of the worst seasons in his 23-year career with Tampa Bay. Despite having the Bucs as leaders of the South division of the American Conference, they have a record of five wins and six losses, they command the sector thanks to the fact that it is the least competitive in the NFL.

Brady said that there is nothing left but to give the best he has in each new opportunity. "You try to go out the next day to do a better job and recover. That's how this sport is; when you're losing everything is horrible and when you win you think everything is great, although it's neither of the two extremes," he explained.

Last week's defeat against the Cleveland Browns by 23-21 in overtime still resonates in the mind of the quarterback who is confident that there is still time to correct the path and qualify for the 'playoffs' with a winning record. "There is still a long season ahead for us, there is still a lot of football to play and we hope the best is ahead."

The 15-time Pro Bowl pick recognized that the Buccaneers must improve the effectiveness of their passing game on offense to help their defense, the sixth-fewest points allowed in the league at an average of 18.5 points per game. "I think the passing game is about confidence and anticipation. We have to have a lot of iterations in training camp to try to keep our balance and keep the guys fresh," he stressed.

In week 13 of the 2022 NFL season, Tampa Bay will host the New Orleans Saints next Monday.
