It’s been a blockbuster week for seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, confirming he’ll be entering the broadcast booth once his career on the field comes to an end. Brady will join Fox Sports as the lead NFL analyst for the network. He signed a 10-year deal worth $375 million, which could possibly indicate that we’ll be witnessing Tom Brady’s last season as a player on the field.
It’s not surprising that he broke salary records and attracted a large number of viewers, but becoming an analyst is not as easy as it seems. It’s now become a career option for players after retiring, which means he’s just as competitive in one field as being an NFL player. Beyond Brady’s career as an analyst, broadcasters who have become some notable Hall of Fame QBs have given Tom Brady their two cents on how to approach the role.

“From being great at one thing, you start to wonder if you can be good at something else”
Hall of Fame quarterback and now an NFL Network analyst in an interview with Kurt Warner LA Times I took some precautions and advice for Tom Brady because let’s face it, it’s not easy to transition from being an elite QB to a completely newbie when millions of people are watching and listening to your every word.
“You go from being great at one thing to wondering if you can be good at another, in this battle you have to move from one job to the next just like anyone else does. You need to build up your self-confidence and find out who you want to be. said Warner.
Brady is used to being placed on a pedestal as a player, however, a career in the cabin will be different as you will be on the other side of things, you will need to be honest and be able to criticize players and coaches for nothing. Hesitant Brady has been a pretty diplomatic player for most of his NFL career.
In addition, you will be surrounded by people with different opinions. “This is one of the challenges you face going into television: What am I going to be as an analyst? One of the hardest things is when you’re a guy like Tom Brady that everyone loves and you want to be liked by people, you have to figure out how to really analyze and criticize what’s going on but not criticize him. people,” added.
“Everyone is afraid, I don’t want to offend anyone, but I also want to do my job and do it really well. This is something I struggle with because I don’t feel like I’m attacking anyone and saying, ‘This person is so bad. But there are times when you say, ‘This is not very good’. They should do this or that.” Warner added.
Brady spent most of his career as a Patriot under Bill Belichick, being the most diplomatic during his tenure there and making the impression of a good man who refused to criticize any player or move of his team or opposition. But ever since he became a Pirate, he’s come out of his shell, he’s getting louder, and it feels like we’re seeing an entirely new version of GOAT suppressed in the Patriots locker room.
While Brady will have to criticize the players and the games, he will need to be careful enough to know where to draw the line, Warner said about it: “I’ve seen people take this personally. You’re just a good guy at this job and you can’t be really good at it. Now searching for games can be different from being an analyst at a studio. But you also have to be critical… For me, I never attack a person, but I always attack a problem.”
Warner makes sense, because when you’re live and commenting on top games, you have to be mindful of everything you say, players might get their criticism wrong, so instead of showing a goal, it’s wise to comment on the situation the player is facing. Still, it will be exciting to see how Brady progresses in the cabin after his iconic NFL career!
