Tom Brady’s Potential Patrick Mahomes Criticism Stirs Excitement as NFL GOAT’s ‘Mediocre’ Remark Comes Back to Haunt Him

After his retirement as a quarterback, FOX Sports has signed up Brady as their top team commentator. However, Brady’s “mediocre” remark on the NFL hints at his exciting future as a commentator. His $375 million deal as he steps into the commentary booth opens the prospect for him to dissect every move of renowned quarterbacks presently at play, including Patrick Mahomes.  

There prevails a stark contrast in playing styles between Brady and Mahomes. Hence, in a recent interview among NFL analysts, Dan Le Batard places his interesting opinion about the chances of Brady criticizing Mahomes in his tenure as a commentator. 

Le Batard’s speculation about Brady’s commentator role

Amid speculation, Le Batard fueled the excitement of how Brady’s commentator journey might turn out. Earlier in a Spotify podcast with NFL legend Steve Young, Brady aggressively criticized a quarterback for not applying pre-snap mastery that is patent for Brady. For which Le Batard commented that NFL windows do not provide much time and hence, Brady needs to be on point with his analysis. Now that, City Chiefs’ quarterback Mahomes has been performing well, Le Batard commented, “I do think that he will be paid $375 million to bitterly excoriate that Mahomes is not as good as him in every game that he calls of Mahomes.’ I can’t wait for that.”

Le Batard’s opinion about Brady’s role as a commentator brings us back to the NFL GOAT’s remark that continues to haunt him. As Brady made his appearance on “The Stephen A. Smith Show”, he came up with a candid analysis of the league. In a critical stance, the retired NFL legend commented,  “I think there’s a lot of mediocrity in today’s NFL. I don’t see the excellence that I saw in the past.” He continued to disintegrate the present situation in NFL and asserted that the coaching landscape lacks the strategic acumen that once defined the NFL. 

During the interview, he contended that in an attempt to prioritize player safety, the gameplay has unknowingly fostered a “carefree’ attitude. On top of that, he subtly attacked the offensive players for disregarding their responsibilities and taking penalties for granted. This outspoken critique of Brady will surely find his way back into his role as a commentator which would bring out his hypercritical personality that stirs excitement within the public. With Mahomes dominating the gridiron, he can be the target of the former quarterback turned commentator.  

Brady’s bold take on current NFL situation

Mahomes and Brady have very fundamentally different play-styles. Where Brady was an expert at finding the pockets and getting rid of the ball as soon as he could, Mahomes in many ways is a better athlete. The Chief’s QB is lightning-fast and can carry the ball himself, instead of having to rely solely on passes to move the ball.
