Joe Montana, Kevin Greene and others have tried the commentating game...and sucked at it.

Being a great player doesn't guarantee you'll also be a great talker.

True. But we've seen him talk. He's no cement head like Gronk or Marshawn. I think he'll do fine. Olsen can still announce, btw. Brady didn't kick him out of the business.

Gronk knows that the personality he has presented to the fans sells he's fine with that as long as it keeps making him money. I can't fathom why anyone would badmouth Marshawn he seems like one of the most down to Earth players out there. You should go ahead and just put the #12 jersey as your avatar be free be yourself.

Gronk and Marshawn couldn't do what Olsen and Romo does. That's the point. The other point being that Brady will more than likely be able to do what Romo and Greg do ... but whaa whaa whaa he's a cheater and he beat us so boOoOOo to this news.

I'm not all that sure I really want to hear Tom Brady call games.

If you hear him talk, he isn't likely to be good at this. I will give him a chance but Olsen proved he had the ability to be quite good at it.

I think Fox is mistaking people's interest in Brady after retirement as a bobblehead. I think we can all agree that none of us tune into an NFL game based on the broadcasters. We may or may not use the mute button based on who is announcing.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
