..Context is crucial.

You appear to struggle with the latter.

You drew a false conclusion because you failed to consider all the variables.

Winston:

2019 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16 626 380 60.7 5109 8.2 71 33 30 243 38.82 75 47 282 84.3
2018 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 11 378 244 64.55 2992 7.9 64 19 14 152 40.21 34 27 157 90.2

Brady:

2019 New England Patriots 16 613 373 60.85 4057 6.6 59 24 8 193 31.48 60 27 185 88
2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16 610 401 65.74 4633 7.6 50 40 12 233 38.2

Let's focus on Winston's numbers from his final 2 seasons in Tampa (specifically, att/comp/td/int). His TD/INT ratio was already imbalanced before Arians arrived. Arian's system merely highlighted Winston's flaws.

Meanwhile, Brady destroyed your entire premise. He improved in almost every category, damn-near doubled the number of TDs from the previous year, and only showed a slight increase in INTs (25%). Sure, he started out rough because of a lack of chemistry, but eventually settled in and flourished (and that's just 1 season). Your OP claimed that Brady was on pace to throw the highest number of INTs of his career, yet he finished with 40/12 for 4633 Yds. Statistically, his 1st season in Tampa is 2nd only to '07 (w/Moss).

You tried it and failed. That's the very definition of an L.

Eat that.
