Can the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Break Through in 2024? The Surprising Moves That Could Change Everything

It’s scary to lose an offensive coordinator like Liam Coen to a head-coaching job. Coen did a great job with Tampa Bay’s offense last season. But that happened a year earlier to the Bucs with Dave Canales and they were fine. Baker Mayfield has become the type of quarterback who gets his offensive coordinators promoted to bigger jobs.AdvertisementAdvertisementEvery year we underrate the loss of good coordinators. While it seems like the transition from Liam Coen to Josh Grizzard should be seamless, Coen was one of the NFL’s best coordinators last season and Grizzard has never run an offense before. Maybe the downgrade will be a big problem. Also, Mike Evans won’t be racking up 1,000-yard seasons forever, Chris Godwin is coming off a serious ankle injury and Emeka Egbuka is an unproven rookie. Perhaps the Bucs’ offense won’t be as good as it looks on paper, especially if elite left tackle Tristan Wirfs never gets right, and the defense is far from elite. Tampa Bay lost seven regular-season games and went one-and-done in the playoffs; perhaps it’s just a bad division merchant. And it’s not like the Falcons don’t feel good about their chances of improving and passing the Bucs.

The crystal ball says

Mayfield is coming off a 4,500-yard, 41-touchdown season with a career best 106.8 passer rating. He had never been above 95.9. The Buccaneers promoted Josh Grizzard, who was Tampa Bay’s pass game coordinator last season, so there should be some continuity in the offense. Mayfield believes his offense can get even better. He wants more passing downfield. The Buccaneers’ site pointed out that while Tampa Bay was sixth in the NFL in yards per attempt last season at 7.9, the team’s average air yards attempt ranked 29th at 6.8. The Bucs were great at yards after catch, but Mayfield says there’s more to unlock.
