Whatever they are paying Alex Smith it might not be enough. He's going to have PTSD after this game.

That there is an extreme lack of good analysts covering the NFL doesn't undermine his point about Chuckie.smokin joe wood said:
Just for kicks...name two NFL analysts you like.
Collinsworth when he's talking about what's happening on the field, and Gannon is pretty good.smokin joe wood said:Just for kicks...name two NFL analysts you like.

No?smokin joe wood said:
In a multi-billion dollar industry, if nobody's any good isn't that an indication that the parameters for judging should probably be reevaluated? More simply - if you don't like any NFL analyst isn't that just as likely your fault as the people doing the hiring?

Well, let me restate. Yes to part one, and no to part two of the question. In all seriousness though, I thought about who the good analysts are. And I'm coming up blank. I'm sure that's all on me.ipol said:

I just find the constant over the to hyperbole grating and adds zero value to my viewing experience. But as I mentioned previously I think Collinsworth (again when talking about what's happening on the field, and not looking into Tommy's eyes) and Gannon do a good job.
So tell us which analysts you find enlightening?smokin joe wood said:
You (the viewer) are not going to like everything in the broadcast. It's also likely misguided to blame that segment on Gruden. ESPN is constantly pushing tie-ins during their broadcasts and cross promotional stuff is gold for programming folks.
This isn't the hill I'm willing to die on but 'commentator X sucks' is a pretty common theme on this message board and it just doesn't seem to add much. I'm also genuinely interested in what commentators people like.
