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.

    • I wanted him to take over the hornets next year. He's a hard ass and I don't know if that works with 18 year olds that are getting paid. He's a good coach though
    • I mean, dude, come on. There is a huge difference between the two in only one word: explosiveness. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kc-concepcion/3200434f-4e04-6719-61ea-f84c4a062c16     https://www.nfl.com/prospects/corey-brown/32004252-4f35-6941-7d1f-17d92e3e6054 From what I've read, Concepcion is a very explosive, twitchy, dynamic receiver. His problem has been some drops over his career; some he has to own, others have been questionable throws by the QB.  Greg Cosell said that Concepcion may be the most dynamic receiver in the draft. Steve Smith is generally positive. There have been other, perhaps less known, analysts who are more critical, but even they love everything he does before and after the catch. Concepcion gets open!     Is Concepcion perfect? No. But he does have room for growth. He's much better than a nondescript Philly Brown.
    • Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB.  At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1. Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday. The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking.  OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting. Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits. Edge--bottom of the roster guys. If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:   There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson. Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper. Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez. NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.   Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.
