Tom Brady slammed by NFL fans within minutes of beginning 10-year, $375million Fox analyst contract

Tom Brady started his big, long-term deal with Fox Sunday, but his first time on air as a broadcaster didn't impress many people.

Fans eagerly anticipated the debut of the seven-time Super Bowl champion as a broadcaster, and their wait finally ended on Sunday. The former quarterback has now started a new chapter in the NFL.

The Cleveland Browns' first home game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys kicked off the start of the 47-year-old's new role as the main NFL analyst for Fox Sports, under a generous 10-year contract worth $375 million.

In just 20 minutes after the NFL legend revealed his upcoming performance, people on the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter, had already criticized him as being 'terrible.'

Tom Brady received heavy criticism from NFL fans on social media for his first appearance as a broadcaster on Fox.

The ex-quarterback started his new job as the main NFL analyst for Fox Sports, signing a huge $375 million contract for 10 years.

One person wrote that Tom Brady hasn't hesitated this much since he informed Gisele that he still had one more season left in him. This comment was made about the quarterback's choice to come out of retirement for another year in the NFL, which happened before his split from supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

One person suggested that it would have been wise to pay closer attention to Tom Brady's actual words before investing $300 million in him. Another person harshly criticized Brady's communication skills, noting that he struggles to articulate sentences with a typical flow.

Tom Brady recently mentioned that creating 10 yards is difficult, but creating 20 yards is even more challenging. This just shows the level of expertise that comes with a $375 million investment in analysis.

Some agreed with the opinion, saying that Brady's insights were uninteresting, with one person commenting: 'Tom Brady must be really captivating when he speaks, as his voice isn't very enjoyable to listen to. However, he hasn't been able to achieve that so far.'

During his successful career in football, Brady was awarded MVP of the league three times and MVP of the Super Bowl five times, a record unmatched by any other player.

Brady is considered the best quarterback in the playoffs, holding records for the most games played, most games won, most passing touchdowns, and most passing yards in playoff history, as well as the most passing yards in a single game.

His top achievements - seven Super Bowl victories - are more than any other player in the league's history.

Nevertheless, numerous supporters argued that his skill disappeared as soon as he left the field and appeared on television nationwide.

In just 20 minutes of the NFL legend starting his announcement, fans quickly labeled him as 'terrible'.

One person on social media said they don't want to make a big deal out of week 1, but they think Tom Brady is the least favorite commentator in the NFL.

One social media user commented, "Tom Brady is absolutely awful at this #NFLonFox," while another said, "It's a good day for Tony Romo. He's actually beating Tom Brady at something now."

One of the many critics commented that Tom Brady appeared uneasy, likening it to his Super Bowl matchup against the Giants in 2012, where the Patriots faced an unexpected defeat.

Brady took over as the main analyst for Fox, moving Greg Olsen to the second crew.

However, NFL fans were already grieving Olsen's absence from their prime time broadcasts as many criticized Fox for replacing the former Carolina Panthers player with Brady.

"Greg Olsen is so much more impressive than Tom Brady as a commentator," one person argued, with another chiming in, "I'm tired of hearing Tom Brady, let Greg Olsen shine."

Lots of supporters said that Brady's skills disappeared as soon as he left the football field and started working in television.

Brady took over as the main analyst for Fox, replacing Greg Olsen. The former tight end was moved to the second crew.

One fan expressed understanding that Tom Brady may not feel at ease in the booth yet. They suggested that perhaps this is why @gregolsen88 should not have been replaced as the top choice.

Someone wrote angrily that they think Tom Brady is terrible and that Fox should feel bad for mistreating Greg Olsen.

Brady's transition to broadcasting has been a long time coming. Following his official retirement from the NFL in 2023, the former quarterback took a one-year break before starting his new role on television.

However, it seems that fans of the NFL are feeling disappointed by the long wait. Brady is looking forward to overcoming the initial nervousness and criticism as he prepares for the ultimate game - Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans - that is coming at the end of the season.
