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.
