So, wait, is "yes" the "Madden is smart" answer and "no" the "Madden is dumb" answer?

I think Madden is both smart and great at his job, though I wish he/the network would try to raise the bar more than he does.

he's not trying to be a super smart football analyst, he's trying to be an entertainer and provide some insight. there are tons of other QB's turned announcers who also just take the game down to a simple level so Joe 6 Pack can know what is going on.

though, Jaws is easily my favorite.

I have always appreciated Madden's insights on the small (but important) things that go one at the D-line and O-line.
For those who have not played football, the D-line and O-line is probably the least appreciated and least understood.

I think Madden helps the average Joe understand the roles of players in these positions, the tricks of the trade, and a whole lot of very subtle things way better (and more often) than any other announcer.

summerall did the cotton bowl last year for Fox. It was probably the worst TV announcing I have ever heard.
