Tom Brady earned rave reviews for his commentary during yesterday's NFC Championship Game between the Seahawks and Rams.

Critics and fans on social media widely praised his "heckin' impressive" growth in his second season, noting he was far more relaxed and insightful than in his debut year.

Many viewers even claimed he is already running circles around other top analysts like Tony Romo.

He was particularly lauded for:
- Anticipating plays before they happened rather than just reacting to them.
- His genuine chemistry with play-by-play partner Kevin Burkhardt.
- Breaking down complex defensive schemes with clarity and humour.

Awful Announcing - Brady, Burkhardt earn rave reviews

I never really understood why predicting plays became such a magical thing

He's much better than Romo now, who is just coasting, and offers far more insight than Aikman and it isn't close.

He's improved dramatically since his debut, which was very very rough.

He's also better than Greg Olson by quite a bit and his commentary about QB and offensive nuances carry more weight that anyone else could except maybe Peyton Manning.

Everytime some one made a play he'd comment something along the lines of "no player is better in the league at doing what that guy just did that"

I will give him and KB credit for their chemistry. Although, I think Burkhardt is so good he can mesh with anybody.

Disagree. I feel like Brady is still very manicured while Olson seems to be a little more raw and true

People are way too critical of TV announcers.

If I remember correctly, I’m pretty sure NE got some favorable calls towards the end of that game



I don’t remember the specifics, I just remember feeling like the saints were cheated out of a win

Brady’s main problem is his voice isn’t low, and that helps for announcing. I don’t like his voice and I don’t really find anything he says insightful.

Greg Olson is better but less famous so gets lesser games.

I thought the college football championship broadcast team was way better than Burkhardt/Brady

When your counterpart is Tony Romo, who is as about as bad as it gets, it’ll make anybody look good in comparison

But to give him his flowers and not compare them to trash arse Romo, he is pretty solid
