Tom Brady Responds To Reported Rift With Bruce Arians

There has been a lot of chatter this week about the relationship between Tom Brady and Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians. Both are fiery guys who don’t like to lose very much. Last week, ESPN analyst Dan Graziano suggested there may be a rift between Brady and Arians.

Arians isn’t afraid to call out Tom Brady. He has made that very clear. This week, many around the media are coming to the defense of Tom Brady. Of those who spoke out in support of Brady was former teammate Rob Ninkovich, who even suggested Brady would be better off without Arians.

Brady was asked about Ninkovich’s comments after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Here’s what he had to say via BroBible.

“It’s just external noise that when you are losing, that’s what you deal with,” Brady said. “I love playing with the guys that I play with — the coaches, the whole organization has been unbelievable. I think I have to go out and certainly do a better job the last four weeks of the year. So, I appreciate it. Let’s have a good week.”

Brady did his best to squash the rumor of any beef between him and Bruce Arians here.

The only way for Brady and Arians to get rid of the talk is by winning. Winning cures everything, and it would quiet the media real fast. Many are acting like it’s doomsday for Brady and Arians but they still have plenty of time to right the ship. The Bucs are 7-5, and currently hold a Wild Card spot in the NFC.

Look, Brady and Arians were never going to click over night. It takes time for a quarterback to gel in a new system. Especially if you’re Tom Brady, and you’re coming from New England, where you played in the same system for 20 years. Give it time, but I wouldn’t bet against Brady and the Bucs.
