Mixed Reviews for Tom Brady as Commentator

Tom Brady's transition from NFL legend to FOX Sports color commentator has received mixed reviews. Critics like ESPN's Don Van Natta and FS1's Skip Bayless have pointed out issues with Brady's voice and his perceived lack of insightful commentary compared to peers like Tony Romo. Despite these criticisms, some believe Brady will improve over time, similar to the trajectory of Shaquille O'Neal in his broadcasting career, who advised Brady to be himself and share his experiences. Fans are also divided, with some suggesting adjustments to Brady's microphone settings and delivery style. Meanwhile, Bayless speculates that FOX's quick hiring of Brady may have overlooked essential vetting processes, sidelining established commentators like Greg Olsen.
