The disappointment of Joe Mixon's fourth-down run coming up short at the goal line quickly turned to excitement for Cincinnati Bengals fans as defensive back Cam Taylor-Britt intercepted Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Dobbs and returned it for a touchdown late in the second quarter of Sunday's NFL Week 5 game at State Farm Stadium.

 

"Cam Taylor-Britt look what I found! His first NFL interception!" Fox play-by-play announcer Kevin Kugler said. "Making the biggest play of the game so far as Dobbs throws his first interception in 138 pass attempts."

 

"Johnny on the Spot right there," analyst Mark Sanchez added.

 

Taylor-Britt, in his second season with the Bengals, got his first INT and TD in his 15th game with the team.

Yeah that was a weird thing to say, I specifically remembered him getting his first INT to end the game last year. Guessing they have the regular season stat  line in front of them?

I'm guessing that because this was Fox, and hence, NFC commentators for the most part, that the imbalance in general knowledge was apparent. As another example of this, I was amused by Sanchez depth of knowledge about Dobbs--at times he made it seem like Dobbs was the next big thing.

Gassing up mediocre QBs is like the main requirement for being an NFL commentator at this point. Every team has the next Brady.

man you just made me have a realization, but it brings up a new questions.

 

1. the realization that media and announcers do need to gas up the mediocre qbs, which i always wonder, with draft picks and qbs like Dak, Murray, richardson, pickett to an extent, though i felt he was the most nfl ready out of most, like what are people pretending to see, like i see a medium grad football school in Dak where he played nothing resembling an NFL offense, not a single nfl defence read in his time in college, comes in scrambles throws some bombs and is king, then fails for years, blunderous failures, like its 100% his blunders failing the team, and people still pump him up like he is king, and why are we pretending Murray is capable of being a winning nfl QB? but the highlights occasionally are amazing plays, and the nfl needs the hype to sell tv deals, matchups, tickets, merch, etc.. makes perfect sense... how did i miss this.

 

2. question being, why do nfl teams get fooled or conned into taking these players, like how did a 5'6" 133 lb qb get taken at all in the draft, did i see that richardson was the 4th overall pick? with a full camp and some weapons, guys like Dobbs, Mccarron, even andy to an extent can get you better results sooner, the ceiling is lower, but with the right weapons, anyone can success, Purdy has like 6 NFl level mid or deep passes on the year, but he has 3 insane weapons, the nfl would be nuts if more teams paid the weapons and not the QB. lets be honest, losing sanu, jones, etc and giving andy 100 mil wasnt the recipe. as butch once said talking about andy vs andrew luck, andy needs weapons, luck IS the weapon. but we paid any, cowboys paid Dak, Cards paid Murray as if they ARE the weapon.

ps: burrow is the motherfuckin weapon. and currently had weapons also.

It’s the “Flash Syndrome”. Running/Throwing QBs at the college level (such as at least the last 10 Ohio State QBs) excite the piss out of the networks/ media hence create hype and inflated expectations at the next level. That, and skilled athletes can do that with relative ease against the overwhelmingly less-skilled college teams. 
 

Burrow and Josh Allen are anomalies coming out of modern colleges. Played in pretty straightforward offenses, and little dependence on lots of run-around stuff. Although Kermit has adapted well to the “basic” NFL offense, I aways remember he was part of one of the oddest systems at TX Tech I have ever seen…so I can give credit to him for that adaptation
