Greg Olsen

[Pejorative Miscreant]

 I think it’s the sprint vs the marathon. Brady’s hype turns on a few more TVs but Greg keeps more TVs on. It will eventually be Greg in the mix time seat me thinks.

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.

You gotta have more time than that though.

Oops. Wrong thread.

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.

Brady knows the game as much as anyone can. But that doesn't make him the best color commentator. He's not terrible. He's just not better than Olsen.

Thanks for pointing that out.  I never saw that thread or I wouldn't have doubled posted.  Sorry.
