Skip Bayless did not hold back when sharing his thoughts about Tom Brady making the transition to NFL broadcaster. On the Skip Bayless Show, Bayless compared Brady as a broadcaster to New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.

“Alright, good news, Sunday’s Cowboys game is on CBS not on Fox,” said Bayless on Monday’s edition of his podcast, the Skip Bayless Show, per Awful Announcing. “So we get Tony Romo instead of Tom Brady. As I have said 12 trillion times, Tom Brady was the greatest NFL player ever by far. But as a TV analyst, he’s nothing but Daniel Jones. I’m sorry, but Tom Brady drove me nuts yesterday during the Detroit-Green Bay game with his endless, giddy, captain-obvious blabber.

“He just talks and talks and talks some more about what is so clichedly obvious. So annoyingly obvious, so Patriots-Brady talking to the media obvious. So eager to be nice guy Tom obvious. So little insight, so many words. So many close-ups. ‘Hi, I’m Tom Brady’. Yeah, we know, unfortunately, we know, Tom.”

Being compared to Daniel Jones is not a great thing as he’s struggled to find consistency in his NFL career. In 69 career games, Jones has thrown 70 touchdown passes and 45 interceptions with an 84.9 passer rating. But the former Duke star just has a 24-43 record as a starter and has just one winning season.

In 2022, Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox to be of the No. 1 broadcast team after he retires from the NFL. Brady made his debut in September and received mixed reviews from fans.

In June, Brady spoke to Fox Sports personality Colin Cowherd about improving as a broadcaster. “I would say yes [I have improved], and I would also say there’s still so much room for improvement,” Brady said, per Sports Illustrated. “It’s almost like when I was a player, I never felt like I did things the right way. There were games where I would go in afterward and say, ‘Man, I’m the worst quarterback in the NFL.’ … I’m sure I’m going to feel that way at Fox where I finish a game and I go, ‘I didn’t even give them what they wanted.’ It’s a very challenging thing in your own mind.”
