He was fun at first because he went to practice, memorized the play sheet,

Novelty that the Networks found out fans don't like. Bill Walsh did it in the booth in the 90s and pissed fans off and he was fired.

Fans don't wanna be told the outcome, they wanna watch the game live and THEN get a Madden type analysis AFTER the play with a telestrator, a marker and inside knowledge.

No one wants to listen to someone spoil the plot for you in a movie theater because they've seen the movie 100 times.

Exactly. The "oh shite" is what makes the offense fun. Not Romo calling a 22 formation and y'all it's play action roll out to the TE on a delay across the middle. I hate it. I'd much rather have somebody else, which sucks to say bc the NFL announcers sound like a 3 foot putt at The Masters

Exactly. We don't need an Offensive Coordinator with a voice like Danny Glover
