The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback competition between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask apparently hasn’t started off in the best of terms.

Fans have taken to social media platforms to mercilessly joke about the struggles of the two quarterbacks after a video leaked out from practice, the video casts some doubt on their ability to fill the void left by the legendary Tom Brady.

After an illustrious 23-year career, during which he secured seven Super Bowl victories, Tom Brady announced his retirement in February of this year. The departure of such an iconic figure undoubtedly left a void in the Buccaneers’ roster, prompting the team to search for a suitable replacement.

In a surprising move, the Bucs signed Baker Mayfield, the former first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft who most recently played for the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Rams last season. Mayfield’s arrival was met with solid expectations, as the team hoped he would bring his skills and leadership to the position.

Competing against Mayfield for the coveted QB1 spot is Kyle Trask, a second-round pick from the 2021 NFL Draft. Trask joined the Buccaneers two years ago, serving as Brady’s understudy. However, his limited playing time and lack of standout performances have raised doubts about his readiness to assume the starting quarterback role.

Videos capturing the struggles of Mayfield and Trask during passing drills in OTAs have gone viral, intensifying the scrutiny on their abilities.

While it’s important to note that these clips only provide a limited glimpse into their performances, fans have not held back in their criticisms and have taken to social media to mock the quarterbacks relentlessly.

Filling the shoes of a player of Tom Brady’s caliber was never going to be an easy task. As the greatest quarterback in the history of the game, Brady set a high standard for excellence and success.

Mayfield and Trask face a daunting challenge as they attempt to live up to the expectations set by their predecessor. The relentless trolling from fans only adds to the pressure they are under.

That wasn’t the first video showcasing the struggles of Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask, another one recently leaked.

Looking ahead, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may already be contemplating their options for the 2024 NFL Draft. If the team secures the first overall pick, they might consider selecting Caleb Williams, the promising quarterback from the University of Southern California.

Williams has generated considerable buzz in the college football world, and the Buccaneers may view him as a potential long-term solution to their quarterback conundrum.

As the 2023 NFL season approaches, the Buccaneers find themselves in a precarious position. The quarterback competition between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask has attracted widespread attention, albeit for all the wrong reasons.

Only time will tell if either of these quarterbacks can rise to the challenge and lead the team to success, or if the Bucs will have to explore alternative options in their quest for a worthy successor to the legendary Tom Brady.
