Tom Brady remains one of the NFL’s most talked-about figures as both a Fox analyst and a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, and the seven-time Super Bowl champion drew pointed questions from fans after he made a Super Bowl prediction for the Raiders during his appearance on “The Gronk & Jules Show.”

The reaction came Monday, a day after Las Vegas fell to 4-5 with a 38-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, as fans questioned whether someone with a financial stake in the franchise could offer a neutral read on its future, while others doubted the current roster could back up any Super Bowl talk.

Fans Question Tom Brady’s Neutrality as Las Vegas Raiders Minority Owner

Brady’s Raiders stake also became part of the conversation during Super Bowl week in February. In February 2026, ahead of Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, he declined to pull for his former team on the Let’s Go!

During an appearance on a “SiriusXM podcast” with Jim Gray, Brady said, “I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one … May the best team win.”

Former Patriots teammate Vince Wilfork told WEEI at the time, “That’s [expletive], Tom … Raiders ain’t in it.” Patriots linebacker Robert Spillane made the same connection, saying, “At the end of the day, he’s an owner of the Las Vegas Raiders now, so he has to do what’s best for him.”

Brady became a minority owner of the Raiders in 2024, and that tie was again the focus for fans reacting Monday after he answered “True” when asked whether the Raiders would win a Super Bowl by 2030.

One fan wrote, “Definitely an unbiased party who has zero stake in the Las Vegas Raiders organization.”

Another fan raised the same concern in the form of a question, writing, “I wonder if Brady’s opinion is biased due to his minority ownership in the Raiders.”

Another fan dismissed the prediction outright, writing, “He’s part owner. He’s paid to say that.”

Another fan met the prediction with little surprise, writing, “Well, no kidding. He has a little bit of bias opinion here.”

Raiders Roster Draws Doubts After Loss to San Francisco 49ers

Not every critic stopped at the ownership question, as one fan went after the substance of the pick by measuring Brady’s work in the booth against his playing career, writing, “He’s not nearly as good of an analyst as QB if he truly believes this.”

That doubt followed a lopsided afternoon in Santa Clara, California, where San Francisco forced five turnovers, held the ball for more than 38 minutes, and improved to 7-1, leaving Las Vegas third in the AFC West. Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins accounted for three of those turnovers with interceptions.

Another fan pointed to the ground game and the blocking in front of it, writing, “Not with that run game and O-line.”

The Raiders ran 15 times for 24 yards against the 49ers, while San Francisco piled up 190 rushing yards on 43 carries. Running back Ashton Jeanty gained 25 yards on six carries, and Mike Washington Jr. finished with minus-3 yards on six carries.

Through Week 9, Jeanty’s 3.2 yards per carry ranks 40th of 43 qualified rushers, and Pro Football Network’s NFL RB Impact Grade has him at 73.7 for the season, 23rd of 44 graded running backs.

Over the season, Jeanty has carried 114 times for 362 rushing yards, which ranks 27th in the NFL through Week 9, and he has seen eight or more defenders in the box on 28.1% of those carries, one of the highest rates among qualified rushers, according to Next Gen Stats.
