NFL fans reckon they have the perfect candidate in mind to replace Terry Bradshaw at FOX Sports.
Calls for Bradshaw to retire are widespread, with fans increasingly irritated by the former quarterback.
Bradshaw, a legendary Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback who won four Super Bowls, has been with the network for over twenty years. He typically appears alongside Jimmy Johnson, Michael Strahan, and Howie Long, previewing NFL games before providing halftime analysis.
As noted above, Terry B has gotten under some folks’ skin this season. He recently faced criticism for putting on a North Carolina accent after Hurricane Helene. He also made a controversial comment regarding Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, suggesting the team should “put him down.”
With the cries for Bradshaw to be taken off television growing louder, fans already have someone in mind: Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford.
Stafford appeared on the network during his bye and did a pretty good job. He looked relaxed and comfortable.

Fans are asking for Stafford to be brought in once Terry retires.
“So he’s retiring. They always do guest stops before retirement,” someone surmised.
“Yeah he’s hired once he retires,” someone else declared.
“Stafford definitely gonna be a commentator or analyst after he retires,” another comment read.
“Matt fits right in 🥹🥹 love to see this,” said another.
“Oh no. Polished, practiced, suit, tie. He gone,” a fan predicted.
He’s ready for this next chapter.

Matthew Stafford Might Not Be In A Hurry To Replace Terry Bradshaw
While fans want Matt Stafford shoved into Terry Bradshaw’s role, the Rams star may have other ideas.
Stafford said he plans to be around for a few more seasons prior to the start of the current term while a guest on the ‘Pardon My Take’ podcast.
“I appreciate this game,” he said. “It’s given me a ton. I hope I got three or four [seasons] left in me. We’ll see. Every year’s a new year. But I do feel good.”
FOX may not have any plans to get rid of Terry anytime soon, either.
