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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Speaking generally to this whole thing— I would say taking a play out of structure too soon isn’t always the riskier option with a higher reward. You’re crashing the call and going out of structure when maybe you didn’t need to. Attempting a premature escape does not inherently have a high reward. But yeah, it’s risky ball. Especially when your not outpacing IDLs. Sometimes the higher risk/reward option is staying in a crowded pocket, not letting it break down, stepping up and making the big time throw. Now, if we’re saying it’s impossible to judge, and there’s so many factors, it’s a complicated position to evaluate, sure but the saying something with so much certainty that his biggest weakness is that he’s too aggressive — I don’t, I just don’t see that. Like at all.  And nothing has really convinced me otherwise. You can’t just keep going on about how it’s so intricate and difficult to understand but be so certain about this one thing. And all that aside, pocket work, mechanics and footwork have been the flashing red sirens since day 1 more than physical traits (we drafted him knowing he was a historic outlier) - do we just not want to acknowledge it? It’s even been communicated straight from the horses mouth…the coaches and team saying what he needs to work on the most. I appreciate the perspective, but nothing here has convinced me Bryce is somehow this aggressive type. Still open, but I don’t see it

      I think Egbuka is a very polished guy, for sure. TMac has some refinement that needs to happen. His ceiling is probably higher than Egbuka's but for that to matter you have to eventually reach it. I definitely don't have buyers remorse on TMac. Great pick.
