re: Greg McElroy getting bowed up

Greg sucks.

A lot of former QBs suck. Give me an O lineman all day. I want someone who will explain things. Former QBs are usually bad at explaining why a play worked or why a scheme will succeed against a certain look. Not sure why that is, but it seems when watching a broadcast the guys that explain things instead of simply retelling things are not QBs.

"He fakes the handoff, throws it across the field, and boom, touchdown" - Yeah, no shite, I saw that too.

"He fakes the handoff, makes the MLB come inside just enough and then throws it to the open man who is open now because the slot receiver created space by running his man out of the play." - Ahh, so that's why the play worked.

Most announcers just do the first one. I'd rather listen to Cole Cubelic explain what happened instead of just narrating the play. Herbstreit is one of the rare QBs that seems to do a good job with that.
