I hated Romo as a player but he was very good early on in his broadcasting days. I think he kinda mails it in these days but early on he was GOOD. Has nothing to do with who he is, just that his commentary is boring and kinda sucks.

I mean, I don't know what y'all are looking for for. They're not talking politics out there.

Nah people are just being real.  You're just making excuses because he's TB12.  If they hire some lousy announcer and hot shot him to the number 1 spot, of course people are going to complain.  He's lousy.  You're just cutting him slack because he's TB12 and he's getting a lot of (rightfully deserved) criticism for how much he sucks at being on TV.

No, I've listened to these guys for decades. TB12 is not so much better or worse than any of them. 

Damn, Darnold just fumbled.

Brady was a great QB and quite knowledgeable but he can't articulate it as well as Olsen. 

Olsen comes from a football family. IMO, he knows the game much better than Brady. 

I know it was briefly mentioned about him coaching before we signed Canales. He's never stated he would like to coach but I think he'd be a good HC probably similar to Dan Campbell.

C’mon man. I agree that Olsen is a superior color commentator, but you can’t say he knows football more than Tom Brady. Brady played for 22 years with 7 Super Bowl victories. Played under one of the greatest coaches of all time compared to Greg Olsens 13 year NFL playing career. Plus as a QB, your knowledge level of the game has to be so much greater than all the other positions. Some people are just better at TV than others. It is what it is.

You only read half of what I said. He also comes from a football family. His dad was a notable coach and he learned a lot about football. 

I won't argue that Brady knows the game but I believe Olsen articulates it much better than Brady. This is why Olsen is a better analysis and would be a much better coach.

Olsen would also help Cam with play calls and make sure guys were lined up right, lets not act like hes just some random TE slouch who doesnt know the game. 

Also fug Tom Brady.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      By TD alt · Posted

      Brian Baldinger on NFL Network (per Tim Weaver on Panthers Wire): "I feel like they're building a monster on that side of the ball right now and I think that's how they have to play," Baldinger stated. "They have to play like they can shut teams down this year. I think it's on them to really guide this team right now." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/05/22/panthers-nfl-offseason-defense-brian-baldinger/90215555007/   So, do you believe him? Today, May 25, I do believe Baldy without any evidence otherwise. I think it's much more likely for our defense to take another marked leap (right into the top 10) than our, basically, bottom-third offense. In my mind, Lee Hunter is a literal and figurative huge addition up front, and right behind him is perhaps our biggest exclamation point on defense: Devin Lloyd. Lloyd's experience and track record of solid production should be the anchor of our defense that should help lift the floor of the entire unit. No more getting gashed on runs, eh? But, as important as Lloyd will be, the most prolific addition to the defense could be Jaelen Phillips.  In my opinion, whether or not the Panthers can demonstrably show that the defensive squad, and perhaps the team in general, is actually ready to assert itself as a perennial postseason presence lies within its ability to credibly rush passers. Phillips was paid handsomely to produce results. Now I know that most of you are probably thinking that sacks are the key. Moreover, I'm not one that is even going to tell you that his pressures are the key (you know, since Phillips's pressure rate has been highlighted over perhaps pedestrian sack numbers). The key, at least in my mind, will be the marked growth of Nic Scourton and/or Princely Umanmielen. I really do believe that they are the understated X factors that the "success" of our season may depend upon.  I'm not worried about the interior (perhaps over-optimistically so). I'm also not too concerned with our corners, as they are quietly one of the best duos in the league. Sure, the safety position has more question marks, Trevon Moering is an exclamation point, and Nick Scott, though less of an exclamation point, still has plenty of experience. With the infusion of youth, size, length and energy, I can see a good mix that will result in positives from the DBs once Ejiro Evero figures everything out. And, we should all know, a credible pass rush provides the defensive backfield with opportunities to shine, and this is but another reason why I believe that Scourton and maybe Umanmielen will be key to taking up residence in the postseason. On an off note, and as a reminder, if the defense is doing its job effectively maintaining momentum with field position, if not outright laying down the pathway with short fields and such, this should make it easier for Bryce Young and the offense to effect points on the board in terms of TDs. Where the defense goes, the offense will have every opportunity to follow.
