Joe Buck Says Drew Deserves Another Shot at Calling Games (1 Viewer)

Your thoughts?

Love Drew but he just doesn't have it as a color guy.

The context on this is the pod guy was asking Buck about how the biz is now taking former athletes and instantly putting them on the top teams. If they don't latch on fast, they get run. Buck said it's a raw deal for guys like Witten and Brees and that he'd love Brees to get another shot, because he's a natural.

In the tweet above, Buck saying "for one comment" is not referring to Brees. He's speaking generally.

At the end of the day, whocars? I don't think Drew is pursuing anything like that at the moment.

He did get a raw deal, however, some people are made for TV…….like the looks, the appeal, charisma, etc. Drew didn’t have that “It” apparently.

 

[Consigliere]

Drew is bad at the standard TV model. But maybe something more informal, with more room for presentation error (something like "Manningcast") would allow him to show off knowledge and share it effectively.

What's wrong with people sharing their thoughts on what he said? Who cares?
C'mon man

I know he wasn't talking about just Drew in the remark, but the quote was highlighted because Drew got so much criticism when he was a commentator.

When I hear Drew talk in interviews lately, I think the same thing. I really enjoy listening to him talk football. I wish he'd get another opportunity.

Curious...what is the best job for him now? To me he seems too positive for tv.

 

[Saint Jack]

If anyone from the Saints is going to the media, it’s either Payton or Cam.

In fact, when Jimmy Johnson retires from FOX , expect Sean to take his place.

 

[El Caliente]

Chris “Now Here’s A Guy” Collinsworth got run off of FOX pregame because it was new, and he couldn’t find his voice in a changing world. 20+ years later he is the standard for athletes turned tv personalities.

Give Drew another shot.

 

[Kramer]

Give Drew another shot.

How about Drew team up with Bobby Hebert on Sports Talk in the evenings and on the Point After following the games taking calls? Yee Haw!!!

I think he'd be a good coach.

That would be funny.

I think Drew needs a little bit longer format than in game commentary. Kinda what SP did for his year of "retirement". Drew would probably be great on a podcast also. I don't think speaking in 2 minute intervals and constantly cutting people off is his strong suit. Kinda why Dennis Miller was good at it but knew nothing about football.

I like a fuller picture. When it said 'via Sports Media with Richard Deitsch,' that's where the story is.

Brees should've started with Fox or CBS. NBC and the Irish was a bad audience to pigeonhole into. Misplayed by all.

I said Whocars (generally) because the ship has sailed on this for now. My opinion.
