Will Tom Brady win the MVP next season?

By: Jake Rajala

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers surprisingly witnessed the kryptonite Tom Brady return to the NFL this offseason. Brady might be 44 years old, but the NFL world knows he is still a superb QB. He threw the most passing yards and passing touchdowns in 2021. With that said, I believe Brady can at least match his 2021 performance and potentially win MVP next season. Here are three reasons why Brady could be MVP in 2022.

The demise of other Top 5 QBs

The 2020 and 2021 MVP QB Aaron Rodgers should take a step back next season, as he lost his WR1 in Davante Adams. The former Pack wideout recorded 1,553 yards, 11 touchdowns, and reeled in 123 receptions last season.

The other State Farm QB Patrick Mahomes also lost his blistering fast WR in Tyreek Hill. Mike McDaniel lured Hill from the Chiefs and made him the highest-paid WR in the league. Mahomes was the 2018 MVP winner and it will be hard for him to win his second MVP award in the near future.

The mediocre NFC South

The Brady bunch should do very well against their division foes next season. They should have a tough test against the Saints, but it would be hard to imagine they don’t brew together a better plan to score more than 0 points against them.

The Atlanta Falcons and Haason Reddick-less Carolina Panthers really need to rebuild their defense and they should cough up a lot of points against TB12. The Bucs scored at least 30 points in each contest against the Falcons and Panthers last season. I expect Bruce Arians to run up the score against those two foes for the second straight season.

A healthy Chris Godwin

The Bucs were nicely able to bring back Chris Godwin this offseason. Chris Godwin was a monster for the Bucs last season, as he averaged 78.8 YPG (second-most in his career). Unfortunately, he missed three games in 2021. I really expect a healthy Godwin to likely unleash a career season in 2022. The Bucs should likely bring in another WR3 this offseason (potentially Julio Jones or a stud rookie) to help Brady ride off into the sunset.
