TOM BRADY has revealed the huge dilemma he faces after switching from player to analyst.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner is NFL‘S most famed quarterback ever.
And that means the spotlight glares brighter when the 47-year-old gives his verdict on fellow QBs.
The New England Patriots legend has now admitted he struggles with one major part of his job.
But he has also told Patrick Mahomes and Co of his brutal “responsibility” to fans.
Mahomes, 29, is threatening to overhaul Brady‘s silverware record.
The Kansas City Chiefs QB has won five of the past six Super Bowls with the only team he has played for.
And some pundits have suggested Brady has pulled his punches on football stars in his position.
He’s even been labelled as “very supportive” of Mahomes.
Brady is one season into a 10-year deal with Fox Sports reportedly worth $375million.
And he’s opened up on why he finds it tough commenting on quarter-backs, especially those as successful as Mahomes.
Brady told Complex Sports: “How can I throw shade at someone who is as amazing as he is? I know what he’s been through.
However, he added: “The one position I’m in now as a broadcaster is I do feel responsibility to tell the fans what I see and be honest and up front about everything.
“But also realize that what these guys are doing on the field is extremely difficult.
“It’s a high level of skill. You’re looking at any of the 32 teams who have a starting quarterback out there.
‘That guy’s one of the best in the world at what he does. So do they make the right plays all the time? Certainly not. By the way, neither did I.
“And I think you have to have this context and perspective and you realize that it’s not about this harsh critique and that’s not really what it’s all about anyway.”
So how does Brady sum up his attitude on delivering words of wisdom?
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers ace said: “To me, it’s more about: let’s point out the greatness of these individual players.
“Have fun, enjoy it, entertain a little bit and really try to educate people a little bit.”
