I Can’t stand hearing him call plays because he knows the formation.

I Can’t stand hearing him call plays because he knows the formation.

What I find funny is that he seems more perceptive from the booth than when he was on the field. He was a good player, but there were some times when I saw him throw INT's and there was no pass rush, just misread coverages.

That’s a little bit too much money

Another form of

CAC affirmative action...


Failing up...

Complexion based success...

 

[Dr. Truth]

LOL oh well

 

[King_of_Posts]

No doubt it is a lot of money.... But that CAC is extremely good at what he does.

As with most things, he's only worth what someone is willing to pay

 

[tpotda]

they stay giving these tv jobs to former cowboys

 

[Deezz]

I think they had to give him that insane money to keep ABC from scooping him up.

EVERYONE loves him in the booth so it was worth the money for CBS.

 

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

That’s a little bit too much money

How much money does he generate?

 

[Mo-Better]

Guess we can't call him a loser anymore.

 

[HIGH CALIBER]

White Privilege has its perks

 

[oskie]

He should take a discount. He has other streams of income

 

[playahaitian]

That’s a little bit too much money

That’s the advantage of watching the all-22 live. That’s the reason why if you remember back in the day the top schools would have cranes with a coach in them recording spring practice with a video camera. Coach’s film is invaluable. I implore everyone to get NFL’s total access that gives access to coach’s film for all the NFL games and the all-22. It will give you a whole new outlook on the game. You can also tell who is fucking up, what qb can read defenses, and where the coverage breaks down. I told this story on here before, but when RG3 was with the redskins I had the all-22 from 2012-2014. It showed me a lot about him and his growth. I saw how he wasn’t ready in 2013 when he came back from injury. It totally changed my mind about him and I was able to see why people called him arrogant. That dude couldn’t read coverages and he was a shell of himself when he had to drop back and throw the ball and no threat of zone read. He couldn’t plant his leg so he couldn’t step into throws neither. His arrogance with the “all in for week 1” was detrimental to his career. He wasn’t ready mentally or physically and it showed on film.

I guess he can buy a gold jacket now. That's the only way he's going to get it.

That's one hell of a breakdown bro. How do you get the all-22?

Edit: shit this it only cost $24.95 a month. When I got it you had to pay $99.00 up front and there wasn’t any monthly billing. You got the whole season, but damn, that would’ve been nice to go month to month.

ESPN doesn’t have 17 million for one person.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Certainly not for one to work one day a week.

Nobody is worth that period.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you pay 24.95 a month from August to February you are paying 174.00 verus 14.14 a month from preseason to superbowl.

I know we have had this conversation before. However, I still think it is unfair to say all that and ignore all the bullshit with the Shanahan coaching staff. And to watch Jay Gruden implode just as badly, I still say that arrogant coaching was just as much at fault.

I still will argue that the way Mike Shanahan handled things with drafting Kirk and telling Kirk he has plans for him in a draft where the team just went all in for a number two draft pick is very telling. I think he put RG3 in a bad position from the get go. Of course, I am not saying RG3 was a saint in all this, but I can understand why he acted the way he did.

I guess we will continue to agree to disagree on RG3...peace

 

[dtownsfinest]

Y’all talking about he ain’t worth it.....man this is like getting a young John Madden. He’s been doing this shit for what? Two or 3 years? He’s already the best at it. CBS can’t afford to let that go and BSPN can’t afford it period.

 

[powmia]

That's way too much for a game caller. So does Booger get to keep his job?

 

[Quek9]

There is a lot of Cowboy hate projected on Tony in this thread. Ninjas in here mad like jealous bitches seeing their ex walk into a room with a bad one. Get a grip fam, it ain't yall's money.

 

[JustChillin]

Y’all hating.

Romo is the best commentator on TV

and I’m a Giants fan

No, there is some truth to what you’re saying. Jay Gruden did some punk-ass, dirty-shit, by not working harder with RG3 and tutoring him to be a polished product like he told Danny Boy he would do. He saw Kirk was more accustomed to the pocket passer game and he chose the easier route. Kirk put up some numbers in Jay’s offense. It really was Sean McVay’s offense.

It was Mike who drafted Kirk in the fourth in the same draft, which was wrong. He was pissed that Dan and Brucifer (Bruce Allen) interfered with the draft when Mike was told he would have total control over everything. That was messed up. So he drafted Kirk, a quarterback more to his liking.
RG3 was more use to the one read spread offense with elite receivers along with the poor cornerback play in the BIG12. Mike knew RG3 would struggle with his offense and NFL defenses, so Mike and Kyle Shanahan devised a plan for RG3 (from RG3’s Baylor playbook) to grow into being a pocket passer.

That’s the reason for the zone read and pistol implementations into Shanahan’s offense. Shanahan never used it before. It allowed RG3 to read only one half of the field instead of the whole field. The way they devised it with the zone read most times the first read was open.

I believe it was Shanny who brought the RPO (run, pass-option) style to the NFL. That 2012 offense (East Coast Offense) was magical! That was such a good job that Shanny&Co did. It truly was amazing.

What’s funny is that Mike really wanted Russell Wilson in the fourth instead of Kirk, but DangerRuss went in the 3rd round to Seattle and the rest is history.

Dude is damn good in the booth.

Now Jason Witten was so bad that he had to come out of retirement
