That is so funny....and sad because he really said it.

haha I was driving myself crazy trying to find a highlight of that call somewhere. Alas, I had no luck... Guess it will just have to live on in our hearts.

I'm more of a Rosinski fan, but Mick was a hometown guy that was very likable. Not sure why there is so much hate for him.

 

By all accounts, Mick the man is a good guy. On the other hand, Mick the announcer? Not so much.

I'm sure Mick is a good guy, but it's hard to believe he ever made it as a professional announcer.  He has absolutely zero aptitude for it.

 

 I hate talking  bad about folks. But, every broadcast sounds like his first.

I never cared for Mick as an announcer.  I'm sure he's a great guy and all, but he's very hard to listen to.  I can't remember why the organization got rid of Bill, but he was 10x better than Mick ever was.

 

Bill made the powers that be mad. New powers that be. Maybe there is a slim possibility he may return.

Wasn't it because he called it like he saw it and wasn't full-on homer? In other words, if the Panthers fugged up on a play, he would put the team/player on blast and the organization didn't like that.

More like he thought he meant more to the team than the team did. He wanted a ring, He didn't get one.

That was the first time Jerry’s pettiness raised its ugly head.   It continued with his sons, gentleman, Morrison etc.     jerry did a lot for Charlotte and I will never forget him but holy hell he was a weird dude

Opinions or not I think there is no way in hades one could argue he was even close to a competent announcer.  He was horrid.  If the best compliment someone could say about him is that he is a good guy then he has no business calling nfl games.

Listening to Mick you never knew if we got a first down or not, you never knew how long a play was etc. It was an absolute guessing game for the listener. You had to wait until the next snap to fully understand what happened the previous snap. I have no doubt he is a wonderful person, but he was an awful announcer.

    • Welp, he just joined Parsons in Green Bay.
    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
