The Buccaneers’ looming quarterback battle to replace the legendary Tom Brady isn’t off to the strongest start.

Video of journeyman QB Baker Mayfield and third-year backup Kyle Trask going through light passing drills during the team’s OTAs went viral Tuesday after a few errant throws by both quarterbacks. The first clip of Mayfield is particularly funny, as he is seen airmailing a short pass to tight end Dominique Dafney.

Here’s a compilation of the two quarterbacks’ throws from Kyle Burger of ABC Action News in Tampa. Take a few seconds and have a good laugh over some of these throws:
