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.

      PFF: Top 15 NFL rookies through Week 11

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      2. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (80.4) McMillan caught eight passes for 130 yards in the Panthers' overtime win over the Falcons, both season highs. He was targeted 10 times in the contest and got into the endzone for the first time since Week 6, with two touchdown catches. His first score came late in the first quarter — a seven-yard catch with Jessie Bates III closing in coverage. The second came with a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, as he was able to uncover from a stumbling Kaden Ellis for a 12-yard grab on third down. That play gave the Panthers a one-point lead. McMillan gained seven first downs on the day and forced two missed tackles. He recorded three explosive gains of 15-plus yards, including catches of 29 and 39 yards. He also generated a perfect passer rating when targeted The top-10 pick now ranks sixth in receiving yards on the season (764) across 55 catches. He is also tied for sixth in targets (86) and tied for third among rookie receivers in touchdown catches (four). McMillan is up to 24 explosive gains, including 12 catches of 20-plus yards. He’s one of two rookie receivers to have recorded double-digit gains of 20-plus yards (Emeka Egbuka). The Arizona product's 75.8 PFF receiving grade over his past three games ranks 13th among wide receivers. He has caught 17 of 24 targets for 236 yards and 13 first downs in that span. He also places in the top 10 in explosive gains (six), yards per route run (2.38) and receiving yards during that run.   13. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (74.3) Evans recorded his first catch in three weeks, securing both of his targets for 28 yards in Week 11. Most of that production came in the third quarter when he was left alone in busted coverage for a 25-yard pickup. He allowed zero pressure on two pass-blocking snaps but was charged with four negative plays as a run blocker, leading to a 51.3 PFF run-blocking grade. Evans finished the contest with a 58.9 PFF overall grade. The fifth-round pick has now caught each of his 11 targets for 118 yards, earning a 72.6 PFF receiving grade. He has surrendered one hurry across 12 pass-blocking snaps, while his PFF run-blocking grade has now slipped to 68.0. Evans still leads the Panthers' tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade and positive play rate (17.5%).
