Brady's "Aggressiveness" percentage in 2019 was 15.2%, which is not significantly lower than what the Bucs' previous quarterback, Jameis Winston (16.8%) had last year. It was also a higher percentage than those put up last year by 2019 MVP Lamar Jackson (14.7%), 2018 MVP Patrick Mahomes (12.2%), 2011 and 2014 MVP Aaron Rodgers (14.2%) and the only man who is ahead of Brady on the NFL's all-time passing charts, Drew Brees (13.8%). Clearly Brady, like the other great quarterbacks in this paragraph, know how to be aggressive in a way that works.

Brady also had success throwing to all areas of the field in 2019 as he put up 4,057 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. NextGen Stats also has a chart that separates the field into 12 quadrants, with left, right and middle areas each for passes thrown deep, intermediate, short and behind the line of scrimmage. Brady's passer rating was well above average in five of those areas, including deep right and deep left. He was graded as within average on the rest. NextGen has this table from 2019 back through 2016 and Brady doesn't have a single "below average" quadrant in any of them. Indeed – throw it to the open man, deep or short, right or left.

Any concerns about Brady's fit in the Buccaneers' offense should also be assuaged by the iron-clad knowledge that he will grind as hard as possible to make it work. His work ethic is as legendary as his career numbers and he's clearly thrilled with this new challenge.
