It's sort of rare to reach a public consensus on anything in 2024 but everyone seems to agree that Tom Brady's debut performance was rather underwhelming, which is entirely to be expected for a work in progress. Personally this is the least surprising thing in the world even though it's been very trendy over the past year for people to boldly assert that the seven-time Super Bowl winner would be great at this, don't worry. And he very well may become great in short order.
But live television is super hard and there are decades upon decades of Brady being less than a mega-watt bundle of charisma and energy that probably should have given a bit more credence.
