Morons vs Geniuses

[Inimicus]

Bill Barnwell over at Grantland is always a good read even when he isn't being particularly kind to our boys. He always seems to be well researched and well written.

Adam Schein

David Newton

Joe Person

Peter King

Colin Cowherd

Ron Jaworski - Moron moron moron moron moron moron!

Teddy Bruschi - Moron moron......

Oh, yeah. Spider 2-y banana guy is pure genius!

Costas can eat a bag of dicks. 

Cosell is always my favorite read. 

I like the dudes at Rotowork a bunch. 

I really can't read anything from ESPN, NFL, SI, CBS, or Yahoo.  They are so inept ititerally hurts my brain to read or listen to their analysis. 

In general though, I like Gil Brandt. Even if we have the same odds as winning the SB as the browns. 

PanthersUnited knows his poo. Definitely in the genius category. 

[SIGCHI222]

I'm a moron.  I don't practice it but I was raised in a moron household.

[Mvp2014]

As a moron or genius? I've never actually heard him on the radio because I'm not from Charlotte, but I would bet he knows more about football than a great deal of people in the media.

Good media personality, very knowledgeable and connected.  poo GM.  

[JawnyBlaze]

Brandt is good, Peter King is trash. If Charles Davis is a candidate he's almost as bad as King. There's a few more good ones out there that I can't recall the name of at the moment but not many others to one extreme or the other. Most are simply ignorant in anything dealing with smaller markets/ less nationally popular teams (threw that in there for the small market teams like GB that are still nationally popular).

[pantherclaw]

None of them are genius, IMO. 

There certainly are those that are much more knowledgeable about the game, and are much easier/better to listen to/read. 

Like anything, regardless of their knowledge, still gotta take their opinion for what it is, an opinion.

Radio

Gill Brandt is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to football. During the draft  he will have callers. Ask him about some obscure guy from Podunk college and he will quote stats, numbers and anecdotal stories about the guy . I like the guy and that  is saying something since he worked for Dallas and I hate Dallas. Didn't really listen that much until recently because he was a Dallas homer.

Pat Kirwin- as a former GM with the Jets, he can give you the front office perspective as well as anyone. Plus he watches ton of film. He has a good book on watching football by taking your eye off the ball. 

jim Miller- he has some good insight into quarterbacks and game planning. Don't agree much of his team picks because he overvalued the QB position but an a quarterback analyst he is very knowledgeable. Rich Gannon no so much but he does have good insights at times. 

[Cary Kollins]

Brandt is far from a moron, but that glorified blog post he made was lazy as fug and debunked as nothing more than a list of last season's records.

[Mother Grabber]

I'm a moron and the rest of y'all are geniuses. ....oh wait!

[Moorgan]

Louis Riddick is smart. I like Jaylen Rose because he says things without regard for perception. I love Dan LeBatard but because he does things on the radio that is interesting. Cowherd is usually spot on with his big picture views. Bomani jones is good too. I guess the common thread there is honesty. They all come across as honest and don't give coach speak for lack of a better term.

the only actual genius I think is LeBatard. But it's not for his analysis. It's for his mastery of the medium.

[Jangler]

My new title will be Moronic Genius.

[Jimmy]

From a player perspective I like Herm Edwards, from a coaching perspective not so much, or even an evaluator for that matter.  Herm was a players coach and understands the locker room and the mentality of the game. Execution is his downfall. I like listening to him.  

 

In the same vien, I don't mind listening to Mike Golic talk about the NFL for some of the same reasons.  

 

There are obvious exceptions to this rule....Mark Schlreth (sp?)....ugghhh.

 

I like listening to guys who have "been there done that".  Not that any of them are geniuses.
