"I had him out of the way" - Skip Bayless believes Tom Brady will regret recent comments about former Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians
Tom Brady has, by and large, gotten what he wanted during his time in Florida as the franchise quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But, according to Skip Bayless, guilt could eventually catch up to him, because of how brazen Brady is being about his life as a Buccaneer.
On FS1's Undisputed, Bayless said that Brady would regret recent comments downplaying any issues between him and former Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians. According to Bayless, the Buccaneers signal-caller has invited trouble by airing his comments on Arians.
Bayless said:
"Final line from Bruce Arians, 'If we win another Super Bowl, I still get to be part of it.' How big does 'a part of it' mean exactly? How are you going to do that? When Tom Brady reads this, he's going to cringe because you're going to say, 'I brought it right back on myself. I had it fixed. I had him out of the way. And now because I told the media, we're great together, I have re-invited him back into the fold.'
"The mere fact that Bruce Arians thinks he's cool enough and tight enough for Tom to go down while he's being stretched out and say 'that pick you threw against the Rams, that was BS. What were you even thinking?' That's exactly the sort of thing Brady doesn't want to hear."
If Tom Brady had stayed retired, Bruce Arians would be coaching the Buccaneers
Bruce Arians recently told the Tampa Bay Times that he would still be in charge of the Buccaneers had Tom Brady stayed retired this offseason. He claimed he would not have given Todd Bowles the responsibility of coaching a team with Blaine Gabbert or Kyle Trask as the quarterback.
"I was going the other way. I was thinking [Brady] wasn’t going to play. I was thinking about who are we going to get? Who wants to trade? There wasn’t anybody to draft. That was obvious. Me, to the public, I was fine with the two we had: Blaine (Gabbert) and Kyle (Trask). Because I’ve seen Blaine win with a good team behind him. Had Tom not come back, I probably would still be coaching. I couldn’t give Todd that situation."
It's all love between Tom Brady and Bruce Arians 🏴☠️ https://t.co/uRusGCCLhG
The issues between Brady and Arians have never been more evident despite the quarterback's attempt to douse the fire. As nice as the pair play to the press, serious problems happened behind closed doors and occasionally during games.
Tom Brady says there was no truth to reports that his relationship with Bruce Arians soured. “Zero whatsoever.” https://t.co/XVkpkiTDJ9
As great as Tom Brady is as a player, he's even better as a media-trained personality.
