Former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is off to a great start in his newfound broadcasting career and made a great impression on viewers who watched his appearance on NFL Countdown early on Sunday morning.
Smith gave a well-crafted response to a comment made by former New England Patriots legend Tom Brady earlier in the week wherein the seven-time Super Bowl champion asserted that he “sees a lot of mediocrity” in today’s NFL.

“He hasn’t been retired that long,” Smith said of Brady. “He just won a Super Bowl in the current game. Is he discounting that one? My biggest complaint with this… He played in the most uncompetitive division I think in NFL history… You [had] a ticket to the playoffs right away. Talk about mediocre.”
Fans across the league took to Twitter to give their reaction to Smith’s response, overwhelmingly agreeing with the former Chiefs mainstay.

Alex Smith just made excellent points about Tom Brady’s “the NFL is worse” take while side-swiping two former Patriots and accidentally obliterating a former head coach of the Jets AND Bills. Immaculate television. pic.twitter.com/WsCBx9Y58b

My new GOAT. pic.twitter.com/0A8k5gV0AE— ThatsGoodSports (@BrandonPerna) November 26, 2023
Alex Smith is a legend. And imagine trying to use win% as an argument for the AFC East during that time being decent when Brady got to face Ryan Fitzpatrick as a starting QB for ALL THREE TEAMS. It was a dysfunctional mess.

I’ve said this for years amongst friends and in group texts but never on a national platform in front of an NFL audience to go viral on social media. Love to see it from Alex Smith, a well respected player and football guy. https://t.co/UaGB23eMHi

It feels like we never, ever get pushback on anything that's not a narrative puffing up the 2000s-era Patriots, so it's great to see Alex Smith go there https://t.co/ZkGAplwoKf
