re: Gary Danielson appreciation thread

Ron Franklin is the best there is. Knowledgeable and unbiased.

Danielson is good unless there is a Heisman level player in the game. Then he goes into hyperbole. Cam Newton >>> Bo Jackson. Tim Tebow, greatest ever (til Cam Newton). Maybe it is because LSU has never had that but it is really annoying to listen too. And not only when he is gashing your defense. I hated watching CBS during the Tebow era when Florida was on, regardless of the opponent. Even when they were playing Auburn or Bama and I was rooting for them, it was unbearable.

Todd Blackledge is really good too, BTW

I agree with the "Mike the Linebacker". Ron Franklin is the best in the business..

They need to get this guy into College football, by far the most entertaining commentator in sports.

Gus Johnson

I have to agree that Danielson is top tier. He breaks things down faster than anyone out there and is usually dead on. Verne is not that bright and is just a play by play guy but Danielson knows the game.

first off verne gets excited over the dumbest things...every play he says "wow" and each time says it has a different inflection...and he never gets anyone right on the first play

"that was ron brooks with the 7 yards run...err excuse me that was steven ridley"

danielson is terrible, he analyzes everything instead of just calling the game...we are on 3rd down and he is talking about the previous 1st down...he was also doggin jj the whole bama game...danielson seems like the guy who never played football but had a close friend who did play football so he thinks he knows it all

anyway maybe i dont like either one cuz they think lsu is overrated...probably the same reason i dislike jessie palmer...either way

Put me down as hating them both. Verne is clueless and fumbles his words continuously. Danielson pretty much repeatedly states the obvious. Maybe if GD was with someone other than Vern I would like him more, but I can't stand to listen to them.

Danielson not bias? come on!! he jumps on whatever team bandwagon that's winning. if you ever record a game that the team in the first half was losing and is now winning in the second, rewind and listen to his conflicting comments. i mean he's not as bad as Madden as far as overall commentary, but he was an average QB and def below average commentator.
