      This might be a hot take but I actually enjoy watching games with romo announcing, his voice may not be the best for announcing but I love how he calls plays with a qb mindset like saying if a defense will blitz or if the offense is going to run for example.

    As someone who studies the game obsessively, having a commentator that's straight analytical and less fluff would be amazing, like you said letting Brady actually criticize players. It's better than listening to Collinsworth just making the same noise over and over again and bringing up Mahomes in a game that has nothing to do with him. So far though I actually like Brady's commentating, like in the Buccaneers game I heard a few quiet moments where you hear him say "You got him" one of them being right before the Evans TD, makes it interesting hearing the greatest QB making reads from the booth.

    5:13 I think that is the crux of why he feels so awkward in the booth. Being a Pats fan I have heard him speak plenty and he does say "umm" and "uh" and filler phrases like "you know?" A LOTTTT so when those are being purposefully eliminated from his vocabulary the silence that takes its place becomes very obvious.

    This was a phenomenal video to pop up in my recommended. I am a lifelong diehard pats fan and you nearly mirror my own internal thoughts on TB12 as a commentator. The support he’s getting on air has been great; it’s what they’re telling him off air in my opinion. When Tom stutters I don’t necessarily believe it’s out of nervousness. I’d say that fox has likely “encouraged” him on what to say in the form of guardrails. You make a great point when you say at his price point there is no budget left for training. I think he’s stuttering because he is being put into a position where he has to talk in an unnatural flow/cadence and simply can’t come up with the words he knows fox wants him to say in time.
    I also big time agree that he should be doing more attacking of the teams he is watching. TB12 is known for breaking down defences. Let him get on air and explain everything that the defence is doing wrong, and then he can explain exactly where the offence is missing out on capitalizing off the defence’s mistakes. I think the people would like it more than this AI commentator fox seems to have him pigeonholed into being .
    Again, this was a really well made video, I really enjoyed it.

    Romo wasn’t the best QB but he’s damn good at almost everything he tries: football, golf, basketball, speaking. Brady is a savant and a brand. I believe his personal brand and Fox’s interests are misaligned. He sells himself as a pretty generic dude and if Fox realizes that he needs to be polarizing to succeed, I’m not sure the Brady brand and Brady the announcer can coexist.

    It's gonna take a year and review during the offseason for him to hit his stride, but one of my favorite things about Brady that I want to see more is when he doesn't sugar coat things. I.E. in that week 2 Saints vs Cowboys broadcast, him being asked "if he would keep throwing to a receiver that made a mistake (Jalen Brooks losing his footing and causing an interception)", then saying "No, can't trust him." instead of some sugar coated "well you know I'll still give him his chances we're a team and..." crap. I love the idea of getting the actual, legitimate thought process from him even if it does put players down.
