H2o Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 He is one guy I will be glad to never have to listen to babbling ever again.
GETTOTHE50 Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Just wanted to add that Fouts is a complete and total idiot. That’s all
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 What’s amazed me over the last few years is that Fox has a much better stable of announcers that CBS. if only fox would stop with the dark color hues and dancing robots..... 1 1
Paup 1995MVP Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I always thought Dan Fouts was fine. Not great. But didn't bother me. Took me back to my younger years as an NFL fan. Air Coryell and the Greatest Show on Turf. The early 80's Chargers and the Kurt Warner led Rams. Best passing teams of my lifetime. I can't stand Chris Collinsworth and Al Michaels. They just try and be too fancy. Its a football game. Call it as such. Its not a discertation of Shakespeare. I think Kevin Harlon is excellent. Favorite announcer in sports has to be Gus Johnson. Period. But Charles Davis does an excellent job as well. 2
Happy Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I actually didn't mind Dan Fouts. Maybe it's just my admiration of him as a QB that has carried over to the booth, but again, he's not terrible. Better than Chris Collinsworth.

dwight in philly Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Never minded him.. i dont really pay attention unless the color guy is unusually bad.. Namath was annoying , Collingsworth ,.. could care less about Fouts either way .. Just hate him for throwing the TD pass to Ron Smith in THAT playoff game..

I hate to see anyone unemployed but he was really bad. Seemed like he didn’t prepare for the games he was a helluva QB though.A super throwing talent. As a broadcaster he was a solid D+
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Good. He was terrible. Now they need to move on from Lofton, Dedes, and Mowins.
ALLEN1QB Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I used to work with a girl with that last name. Jokingly I said is Dan your father she says no her uncle. Pretty cool. I thought he was OK not the worst for sure. Between him and Booger I definitely would pick Booger as the worst.

Maybe it's just my admiration of him as a QB that has carried over to the booth, but again, he's not terrible. Better than Chris Collinsworth. Now there's a high bar! There's nothing about Fouts I will miss. He added very little of value. Agree with the comments that he didn't seem to put much effort into it. 1
Success Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Patriots fans are rejoicing. Apparently, he had some significant anti-Pats bias, which I was never aware of (likely because I have a strong anti-Pats bias myself). I always liked him. I like most of the guys that usually get criticized - him, Collinsworth, Booger. I don't have a very high bar for announcing.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I liked Fouts. Fouts did a good job pointing out flaws in technique at QB and many other spots. He just didn't do a good enough job of praising good technique as well. I think Davis is far worse. Gannon is the guy I really don't like. He is slow to analyze and rarely gets strategy correct when he even bothers to bring it up. The Bills have sucked for 18 of the last 20 years. While the best QB and perhaps best franchise in NFL history relentlessly beat us. What are the announcers supposed to say? "Brady to Gronk for another TD. But honestly Brady didn't put enough air under that pass. He made Gronk move his hands about 6 inches farther than he needed to" When the Bills win consistency my guess is this board will find the announcers are better.
Beast Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I am so focused on the play and replays going in and what is going on in my own head about the game that I hardly even notice anyone in the booth. As long as their voice isn't annoying I don't notice.
