Breaking down the Bucs' NFC South foes: It starts with the quarterbacks

TAMPA, Fla. _ The NFC South typically is one of the most competitive divisions in the league. While most of the buzz has centered on the Bucs and their acquisition of Tom Brady, players and coaches still expect tough sledding in the division.

"I think it's going to be extremely competitive," coach Bruce Arians said. "When you look at the four quarterbacks in this division, it starts with those guys. And everybody's got a guy who can beat you, and can beat you in a lot of ways. So I think health is a big, big factor, who can stay healthy, keep their guys COVID-free plus football-injury free and just keep playing week to week. But it's going to be a knockdown, drag out."

Inside linebacker Lavonte David agrees.

"Every year it's going to be a battle. It always comes down to the last game in this division," he said. "Each division game, you almost try to count it as two games because that's what it's played like. It's like it's two games. ... It's going to be tough and physical and that's the type of division we have."

Here is a look at how the other teams in the NFC South stack up.
