if Fox remains committed to the stupid plan of replacing Greg Olsen with Tom Brady, then yesterday was his final broadcast as part of their top team. Might be his last with Fox at all, depending on his contract.

Exceedingly dumb on their part if so...

It will be funny if Brady sucks as a commentator.  You don't get rid of a known commodity that's excellent at their job for someone brand new to the role simply because of their success in a different area.  I don't doubt Brady has a wealth of knowledge about the NFL, but can he communicate that information effectively, concisely and with charisma in a live broadcast?  Greg certainly can.  Olsen crushes it!

Olsen has been really good. I’m interested to see if he can maintain it. I remember when Romo was on fire to start his broadcasting career being Luke like and basically calling out plays before they happened. He seems to have lost his luster and honestly annoys me more now. He said something about the first roughing the passer being Baltimore’s first penalty and my son said what about the holding call on a pass play right at the start. He just seems like his magic touch is gone.

Tom Brady may end up a terrible commentator but much more people are going to tune in to watch him talk than Olson. That’s a fact. You think Fox didn’t think about this?

Most people don’t really care who is the commentator

The thing Fox needs to consider is, who is going to be their top broadcaster for the next 20 years like Troy Aikman was. Is Brady really going to stay interested in broadcasting all that time? He is a man of many interests. They also need to consider that Brady has literally ZERO commentary experience. Olsen cut his teeth doing spot duty at the end of his playing career and has been well received by and large as the top color commentator. 

It could be a disaster for Fox switching to Brady and pushing Olsen out the door at the same time.

You contradict yourself dude. I agree with your last sentence and will take it a step further -- no more than a negligible amount of people will tune into a game because of any commentator, all that matters is the teams on the field.

For a few games if he's terrible. But honestly the announcers are just there to fill air time. Who is actually tuning in every week for the announcing. It'll give them a ratings boost for a few weeks and then it's just the norm.

I'm pretty sure Brady's going to come off as a douchebag, largely because...he is one.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t remember Mills from the USFL days just when he was in NO.  But when you saw Smitty it screamed oh yeah, this guy has something. Immediately. So, have not seen anything that dramatic with Young. All I know about him says he is solid with his character and smarts and don’t see a lot of that translating into screaming he really has something. I think the people that say he could possibly acceptably run an offense designed around him, with top flight talent in support, are probably about right. But I can’t see any Pro Bowls or lofty accomplishments in my crystal ball.

      Goodbye chain gang?

      I thought I read they’d still be there but as a backup in case of malfunction.  So it’s not so much a goodbye as it is they’re being sidelined (I’ll see myself out)

      Their forecheck is relentless because they are so physical and heavy.  It’s just a perfect mashup for how they play. Florida before Paul Marice played just like us. Speed but with finesse.  Paul made them but into playing heavy. They went and got players that added to that style he wants and it works.  Plus they have the best goalie in the league.  That helps more than anything. The canes have got let Koochie be their guy he will never become the star that most think he will if rod keeps sticking with vets that flame out.    1. Koochie or a Soros type player  2. Switch to zone defense  3. Get heavier.    like I said, I love Rod. Best pro coach ever in the Carolinas sports buy he is holding us back with his philosophy and style.  He is the reason.  He can change all of that with decisions.
