Not exactly.
The thinking was that we have to rebuild the team from the ground up and Tom doesn't have enough years left to be worth rebuilding an offense around him.
The big reason he is successful now is that Tampa had already built a good O squad before he got there. An aging and patched together Patriots team, years of low draft picks plus 8-9 players opting out of the season right off the bat just meant that Tom wouldn't be going to the super bowl this year if he was still playing for NE in spite of all his talent. TB was his only chance and I don't blame him for taking it (although he is now dead to me).
We'll be back with a new QB and mostly new team next year under Bills expert tutelage and Tom will still fall off that Max Kellerman cliff some day. Does he have another year in the tank? Probably, maybe two, but I think when he finally is done it will happen suddenly without much warning.
