My biggest takeaway from the last two weeks is that Greg Olsen is a really good commentator and I wish he'd commentate all our games.

The other guy in the booth with him though..... Ooh Wee Mayne.

He's good when it comes to analyzing the game, but tbh I found him really boring to listen to.  

That is what makes Tony Romo so good.  He can analyze the game with the best of them, but he does it with enthusiasm that makes it really easy to listen to.  Which is how it should be done.  Being a good announcer isn't all about being knowledgable.  Its about being entertaining, and Olsen is going to have to get a lot better in that regard.

He's better than some other guys in the Fox line-up though.

I'd rather be bored to death than being "cringe'd" to death.

Considering I dont' give a poo what the announcer says anyone should be background noise. We are there to watch the game. If he is giving good info for the few times you pay attention to what they are saying then good.

Dead on. 

I was indifferent to Romo when he was a player up until the classy way he stepped aside to not be a distraction when Dak took over, that really impressed me. My opinion on the vast majority of commentators is somewhere between loathing and laughing at their inane pablum, but Romo is a true breathe of fresh air. Insightful, engaging and entertaining.

Olsen provides good insight but is still new at it and needs to bring some enthusiasm. It's too easy to give him a pass because he's our guy, but the truth is his game still needs some work. Having said that, I'd take him over almost everyone in the Fox line-up. Dear Lord most of those guys suck donkey balls.

      Bryce Slinging Dots Downfield

      By CRA · Posted

      For all but 2 plays he was treated like a 3rd string QB that game…we t and Canales has been consistently doing one thing all season…..call deep shots on 3rd/4th and short….because it’s about the only way Bryce can get a big play he feels comfortable attempting.  Man coverage with a team playing the short yardage.  And it’s still worked out bad all year.   Law averages comes into play on that playcall and now it’s a “great game”

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I'll say Bryce Young is giving me whiplash!  Plays well, plays like poo, plays well...  Its the cycle of Bryce Young! I'm really happy with the win Sunday.  Some of y'all are just miserable people.  Do I think Bryce is HIM though?  Nope.  He's really freaking inconsistent.  That a player AND coaching issue.  I didn't get a chance to watch the game, how was Bryce's vibe early on?  What he chill and calm or a little fired up? I'm think that we are going to roll into 2026 with Young and Canales.  I hope we do pick a traitsy QB to develop & push or we sign a hungry vet who wants to beat Bryce out.  I fully expect the Bryce cycle to continue next year as well. Now could Bryce be "just" good enough to help us build a team, and then we go after a better prospect QB after we trade Bryce off (or let him walk, who knows what the future is?)?  Is Bryce our ultimate BRIDGE QB?  I don't know, sounds silly to type myself.  Happy Monday! I'm just going to enjoy the after glow from a win I ended up watching on drive charts lol.
