Definitely was fun to see a guy who knows the game so well dissecting plays the whole game. My hope is that he can find a way to quickly talk about HOW he knows plays are going to happen (similar to the telestrator thing). There's not a ton of time to do it, but I'd start watching the games he calls just for that if he could really help viewers to get into the nuts and bolts of strategy a little more.

And Rex Ryan may have been one of the worst announcers to be in the booth for an NFL game ever. Man, he was bad.
Hell, I'd take Bryant Gumbel in the early NFL Network days over Ryan without question. |

At the other end of the spectrum, it sure as shit wasn't Rex Ryan. He was pretty brutal to listen to on MNF.

As others have indicated, he'll be getting no competition from Mowins and Ryan. They were both total ass.

Let's put Rex Ryan in the booth with Dennis Miller and have them exclusively do Jets games.

Tony Romo was pretty good. that was ****ing Rex Ryan on Monday Night? That was literally the worst broadcast I've ever heard.

It wasn't great, but I think it was much better than Bill Walsh's time in the booth. That guy was incapable of saying anything that wasn't self adulating. Worst broadcast I've ever experienced.

And, yeah: Rex Ryan was horrible. He couldn't mumble fast enough to keep up with the plays and the shrill banshee doing the game with him was annoying. Fouts has been dog shit as an announcer forever. If it's a DEN/KC/OAK game and they are playing well he'll just sit and say nothing for minutes at a time, and that's the only time he's worth listening to.

I imagine a lot of really good QBs could do this. People really really underestimate how smart some of these great QBs are. Obviously guys like Manning and Brady have that reputation, but most decent QBs are extremely football intelligent. It's why some coaches are super picky about who they bring in to play QB and grill these guys before the draft.
Even a guy like Brett Favre... he gets this reputation as a gunslinger who just ran around and chucked it up. He did do that, but you ever listened to him talk football, it was amazing. The guy was sharp as a knife out there. You have to be able to read and diagnose everything that's going on all over the field. |

Counterpoint, and I honestly don't know the answer:
Did fans of the Titans/Raiders get tired of him "spoiling" the play a little bit? |

I thought Rex did a good job the girl who was with was terrible though. Rex provided some insight you normally don't hear from color commentators. Romo was awesome but I hope they don't make him dumb it down. Gruden is more than capable of adding lots of quality color but chooses to pretend to be a dumbass.
