Am I crazy or did it use to be that no matter who you were as a player you had to work your way up to be the top team broadcast.

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.

I don’t think I did. I just think most people couldn’t care less who the commentators are but having someone like Tom Brady in there will be an asset and an advantage. 
 

olson is good commentator but in the grand scheme of things nobody is tuning in to watch was he has to say.

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.

Sure I would agree with this. Tony Romo was fantastic at first and he sucks ass now.

Maybe the first month of his first season some people will tune in for brady, but after that nobody is tuning in to watch what he has to say either

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.

I was shocked that was Tony calling the game. He just seemed like he didn't want to be there.

It seemed like he really worked at it at first to make sure he succeeded then got lazy and started mailing it in once he developed a good rep.

I love what Greg has to say, but something about his delivery is off-putting (I realize I’m probably in the minority on this, JMO). It’s almost like he’s out of breath and yelling at the audience

And Tony Romo. While you're at it add Chis Collingsworth as well. Those two make watching football almost unbearable. Thank goodness for the mute button.

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 

Not so sure about that. I've turned off games because the commentators were so bad. If I have to put it on mute just to be able to watch it, I'm not watching.

I haven’t watched a second of NFL since Dick Stockton retired
