concerns about the state of college quaterbacks

[froot loops]

It's why guys like Connor Cook and Christian Hackenberg are considered top 10 pincks in the draft. They haven't lit the world on fire, but they have shown a basic command of the fundamentals. There is a dearth of QBs out there who can run a pro style offense. Look at the rosters today, a lot of teams are ditching the 3rd string QB. The 2nd string QBs are really subpar.

For those who dog on ESPN...at least they have announcers live on site. Fox Sports tonight called the Miami/FAU game (and Western Kentucky last night) from a studio in LA.

Production values!

From the article:

FS1 is not the first network to attempt calling NCAA games from the studio. *Last season, ESPN selected a handful of college basketball games*

Basketball, not football. ESPN tried football once (I think) and realized it was an awful idea.

Fox's production values suck. I'm generally not impressed by any of their sports coverage. The fact that they are trying to save money by doing this suggests to me that those expecting Fox to steal the throne from ESPN/ABC are in for disappointment.

I wish Fox would realize that there is a portion of the population that would say Fox first even if they were 3/4 of ESPN.

I would take a Fox game called remotely over most ESPN games called locally. Fox (and every other non-Disney network) realizes that I tune in primarily for the game and I want the announcing team to enhance it and make the exciting moments more memorable. Whereas ESPN thinks that I tune in because I love ESPN and I want to share the moment with Rece Davis or Chris Fowler.

I would take 5 cats and 2 wolves calling the game remotely over Chris Berman calling anything anywhere. Jebus.

Berman has resorted to nothing but worn out quips and hyperbole whilst doing NFL games...horrible...

He's the NFL version of Brent Musburger...
