It certainly didn’t take long for NFL fans to get tired of Tom Brady during his debut as an analyst for FOX Sports.
Tom Brady has commenced the first of a 10-year deal worth $375 million that he signed with FOX in May 2022. The seven-time Super Bowl champion was assigned the Dallas Cowboys-Cleveland Browns game at Huntington Bank Field with Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.
But let’s just say it didn’t take long for NFL fans to start hating on Brady and his performance during his broadcasting debut:
I don’t want to overreact to week 1 but Tom Brady is the worst announcer in the NFL.

Maybe someone should have listened to Tom Brady actually say words before dropping $300 million on him.

I don’t know how else to say it but Tom Brady does not have a voice that is meant to be heard without seeing his face.

Billy, this is Tom Brady.
He’s the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFLHis only defect is as a broadcaster, his sentences have no discernible cadence or pattern pic.twitter.com/YX7SUgoImq

It all sounds good on paper, and you can land a monster contract, but that doesn’t mean you like what you’re doing. Tom Brady. @NFLonFOX @NFL @FOXSports #NFL

There was plenty of excitement around Tom Brady’s arrival as an NFL analyst, but many fans and prognosticators were also disappointed with FOX’s decision to move him to the No. 1 commentary team in favor of Greg Olsen.
The former Pro Bowl tight end was on the top team with Burkhardt and Andrews for two seasons, after Joe Buck and Troy Aikman left FOX for ESPN. So even though it’s out of Brady’s control, there are naturally some sour feelings from fans over his immediate promotion to the top team over Olsen.
