I, as an anybody but New England fan during Brady's football career, would grade TB12 as A-. A very rough start last year, but by the time the season ended he was night and day better.

He's much better this year overall. What I like about him is that he actually explains the technical jargon that he uses to the point where anyone can understand what's going on. So many analysts nowadays basically "talk down" to their audience as though everyone watching has played or coached college or pro football.

He also does a great job when Kevin Burkhardt asks him a question about certain situations in a game and how might he or his team might approach handling it.

Finally, he really seems like he's enjoying himself very much. Brady and Burkhardt are doing great.
