NFL Fans Are Already Sick Of Tom Brady Calling The Super Bowl, & It’s Still The 1st Quarter

Hating on the GOAT?

Any way you slice it, Tom Brady is the best to ever do it. A 7-time Super Bowl champ, 5-time Super Bowl MVP, 3-time NFL MVP… the man’s professional football resume is as impressive as anyone who’s ever strapped on a helmet and picked up the football.

Personally, I love Tom Brady’s insight into the game of football, and sometimes, even the game of life. Over the course of this season, especially one packed with a ton of talent first year quarterbacks like Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, and Drake Maye, Tom has been a constant megaphone about how much NFL coaches are failing to develop young quarterbacks, how the college system has failed to develop NFL-ready quarterbacks… and if you watch the game, it’s easy to see. Plus, I’m a Bears fan so I’m EXTREMELY invested in the development of a certain young quarterback, who reportedly had to seek some outside film study help since his putrid offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron, wasn’t doing it with him.

All of that to say, when 12 is talking football, I’m generally willing to listen…

Earlier this week, his comments to Colin Cowherd about what made him great, and what makes quarterbacks in general great, went viral for its incredible insight. He said:

“My last year, my last Super Bowl I was a part of, I was two weeks of watching film. Friday night, I was just going through the film. I knew Kansas City’s defense better than they knew themselves. I knew their body movements, the way their linebackers move, the way their safety’s moved…I knew everything they were doing.

I got out there on the field, I looked up as I was walking the line of scrimmage, I said, ‘Okay, they’re blitzing.’ And then I was dealing with it right away. I walked up, I said, ‘Okay, they’re going to bail to Cover Two.’ Ball snapped, Cover Two. I had the answers to the test. That’s where I was great. That’s where my magic superpower was. It wasn’t how fast I could run. It was how fast I could diagnose what they were doing.”

He went on to say that young quarterbacks today aren’t approaching the game that same way:

“That’s how I believe most quarterbacks should play the game. Unfortunately, as we’ve talked about, most quarterbacks aren’t playing the game like that anymore. They’re fast when they get out of the pocket, when they have to make decisions. But I didn’t snap the ball unless I knew what they were doing and if my guy is gonna be open.”

"When you lose this game, it's on your resume forever. A loss in the Super Bowl matters more than any loss you're ever going to be a part of."

12 knows ball…

Now, you’d think that kind of insight would translate to the broadcast booth, and FOX apparently thought the same since it dished out a big, fat check to get him into the booth. Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with FOX, pushing out former Bears and Panthers TE Greg Olsen as FOX’s top color commentator. Of course, Greg had nothing but great things to say about Tom coming into the booth, and he never saw it as a demotion, but still, they brought in Tom to be the top dog, and everybody knows it. That’s why Tom is covering the Super Bowl.

But in his first season, football fans have been absolutely HATING Tom as a broadcaster. Beloved NFL quarterback, universally despised color commentator. And when you have 125 MILLION people tuned in for the Super Bowl, they didn’t waste any time today voicing their displeasure.

We’re not even 10 minutes into the first quarter…

Maybe stay off X this week, Tom.

Who ever thought that Tom Brady was a good Idea to be a commentator for the Super Bowl should be Fired.. Totally Lame..

Tom Brady as a commentator is like being stuck at a party watching the game with your neighbor’s dickhead kid.
