It is now time to consult the Crud Meter, and find out if Tom Brady was crud today.

In his first start for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom Brady completed 23 of his 36 passes for 239 yards. He threw two touchdowns and two interceptions, one of which was a pick-six. The Bucs lost to the Saints, 34-23.

Tom Brady was somewhat cruddy today, though he was not a full-on pile of crud stuffed into a helmet. The Crud Meter reflects this.
