Smitty would be good.

Smitty has a better job already.

AN UPDATE (only because I didn't see it confirmed in the thread, but at least I didn't start a new thread when one already existed):

As seen in the press this weekend:  "The NFL’s Carolina Panthers are moving forward without longtime analyst Eugene Robinson in the radio booth alongside Mick Mixon and Jim Szoke.  Robinson – who was part of the Panthers Radio Network for 17 years – also co-hosts “Charlotte Today” on WCNC-TV, Charlotte.  Entercom’s WBT-AM/FM serves as the flagship station for Panthers radio play-by-play"

Oh man, I used tolisten to the games on the radio. He has a very sexy voice I’m going to miss it.  In fact I don’t even know if that was him but it sounded like that would be his name .

[frash.exe]

so what direction would you go in? a lot of broadcasters are out there that have a really good radio voice and can bring some character to the commentary but probably couldn’t point out a defensive formation. and then there’s always former football players looking for a gig that can talk all day about Xs and Os but are complete dullards that can’t captivate an audience if their life depended on it.

Charles Johnson maybe

Jake would be awesome but I don't see him leaving Louisiana and his horse racing

[Carl Spackler]

DeAngelo would be entertaining if nothing else. Gross would be the best, but he's probably done with announcing now.

Mods, can we let this thread die, or be moved, title tends to lend itself to potential FA news. 

Figure there's a better place fro this. 

[Proudiddy]

I just still don't get this decision, and can't imagine anyone being able to sufficiently fill Eugene's role.  They need knowledge of the game, personality, emotion, and excitability.  

As some have said, I can imagine Jake having some of that, but I dont think he has any experience in the field...  as others have said, Rucker is good for preseason, but man, he is very much without affect.

Why? Because you misinterpreted the title?

Said it earlier: It was a long time ago, but with the focus on #metoo and a new owner and such, I wonder if Eugene's "incident" played any part.

My gut would say no, but like you I don't really understand this move, so who knows?

[Mr. Scot]

Joe Person had some speculation on possible replacements.

Several of his suggestions have already been mentioned in this thread (Delhomme, Moose, Smitty, Rucker, Gross, Kalil, Donnalley). Other possibilities Person brought up: Steve Beuerlein, Mike Tolbert, Ricky Proehl and John Kasay.

So far, I haven't seen any official word about who they might be auditioning.

If I had to guess, I'd probably go with Donnalley.

You know who'd be fun though? Jake Delhomme.

Listening to interviews you can tell Jake knows his stuff.  He would be a good both guy IMO.  

[rayzor]

I suspect Tolbert will be the guy....if it is a guy. wouldn't surprise me to find out they are looking at some women to fill the role.
