TAMPA, Fla. — The dismay is borne of expectations.
How can an offense with the NFL’s all-time leading passer be near the bottom of the league in scoring? How does an offense with multiple Pro Bowl receivers and tight ends falter? How does a running back, taken with the No. 4 pick in a draft, end up 46th in the NFL in yards per attempt?
This is why offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich is under fire, and this is why headlines across the globe are questioning Tom Brady’s decision to un-retire.
