Bucs QBs coach: Tom Brady wanted to match what Peyton Manning did in Denver

There have been several reports and speculations as to why Tom Brady decided to leave the New England Patriots after 20 seasons and six Super Bowl titles.

@TomBrady said he wanted to work on his speed in the off-season. He got knee surgery, and should be better around June. He has about 2-3 months of real off-season work. It's a bionic knee. He had a bionic knee put in, and now he'll be truly unstoppable. No proof, but it's a fact
