If not the worst, he's a strong contender for worst football "commentator" ever. The guy has about as much useful to say as a loudmouth fan who calls into a talk show, and about as much tact.

 

I'd love to see the QB's of today take the hits those guys used to take.

 

Usually what I think about when I picture a real, actual "assclown".

 

Ok, so here's the thing. He criticized the hell out of the Dolphins in 2013 for drafting Dion Jordan and signing Mike Wallace. Jordan is an inch away from full bust status and the Dolphins are carefully considering cutting the underachieving Wallace who likes to throw temper tantrums because the ball doesn't find him enough.

And Heath Evans is a horrible analyst?

A year prior, he praise the hell out of the Dolphins for taking Ryan Tannehill. Was he a horrible analyst then too? Or is he only horrible when he's criticizing the Dolphins (and ending up right)? Serious question.

 

Lol @ Heath Evans when he talks.... Guy was a FB(the least important position in todays NFL) and I always get the vibe that he is so full of himself.

 

It's ever permeated into sports center through the years.

15+ years ago, you actually could tune in to ESPN in the morning and get some sports news stories in a matter of a minute or so.

Nowadays, you have to spend 10-20 to get one or two actual stories, while tirelessly sifting through opinions.
It feels like the go-to format now is:

1. Read a headline 0:09
2. Cut to an on-site reporter to rehash the headline the anchor literally just recited, while offering little to no real additional insight 2:25
3. Back to the studio, and bring in some former player/coach/GM/"expert" to give you their opinion on the matter 14:30
4. ---Commercial break--- 2:30
5. Immediate ESPN self-promotions 0:30
6. Read the next headline...

I really miss the Best Damn Sports Show Period.

 

Also, with all the rule changes and its much easier to be a QB in todays NFL, as noticed by the growing statistics by QBs. If Dan played in todays NFL, I have no doubt he could reach 6,000 yards in a season.

 

I threatened to sue.

There. Eat it.

 

Heath Evans is firmly in the tank for Belichick. No denying that. Doesn't mean he's a bad analyst. He's shown he's capable of praising the Dolphins for moves he likes and criticizing them for moves he doesn't like. I don't see the problem.

 

Didn't Heath Evans also call the Dolphins out for cutting Karlos Dansby and replacing him with Dannell Ellerbe?

Gaining more and more respect for Evans as an analyst.

 

He's awful inspite of what he says about Miami, and he and a few others have made me turn off NFL Network too. At least Sapp is gone, but its gone SO FAR downhill from what it used to be when Rich Eisen was actually hosting the show every night instead of just on game days. They take nothing seriously anymore, and everything has to be a loudmough opinion.

 

He really is the worst

 

Saying Dan Marino wouldnt succeed in todays NFL is straight blasphemy. He should talk about how the FB position will be a dead position by the year 2030.(They will just use blocking TE's and big HB's in situations as FB's)

 

ftfy

 

I was gonna say "if it aint dead already" too lol

 

I think Heath Evans did society at large a favor when he decided to pursue a career in football/TV, rather than becoming a nurse, doctor, or engineer.

I'd really hate to have to cross a bridge built by Heath Evans.

 

I know he talks about us the way I talk about the Raiders. Its easy to put us down (as Heath always does) and be right more times then not (especially for me with the Raiders) lol

 

The Bill Walsh system. Paul Brown said it would never work.
He hired Tiger Johnson.

 

**** Heath Evans. How does he still have a job?

Marino would throw for 6,000 yards a season in today's NFL.

 

I watch his tanning bed ***, he's an all around doucherat..jealous mother and pissed off that we cut his ***..

he has to take a positive take every now and then because his job is on the line and he can't come across as having a bias, however their so clueless over at that network he does it anyways..


that network needs competition.

 

Ryan Clark just retired and ESPN gave him a job. Is it me or does ESPN/NFL Network tend to hire ex-players who have contributed to something negative towards the Dolphins?

A few years ago, Clark was a FA and said no one wants to play for Miami. Bam, he's got a job. Heath Evans, Teddy Brushci, Rodney Harrison, Warren Sapp...all these guys have either played against Miami on a rival team or have made deragatory statements against the Dolphins(ex. Sapp saying growing up in Florida he rooted against the Dolphins). Seems to me one important requirement for working for these two networks is you have to be anti-Dolphins somehow.

 

I think you have to have some brain damage to enjoy him.

I remember last year when he called Chip Kelly the worst nfl hire ever. lol

 

You mean the guys who could actually call plays without a microphone in their helmets?

 

Boy was he dead on about our whole 2013 draft/offseason.

 

With that logic, Brady wouldn't make it one season in the 80s. One hit from Bruce Smith, who legally could take two steps after the pass cream the QB, would scare Tommy boy forever. Christ he cries so much now if they happen to touch him.

 

I can sell you one.

 

He's pretty mediocre, but I wouldn't call him awful. I think at times he goes out of his way to take some extreme stances, but each of the networks has a couple of guys like that. It's probably what keeps him employed, ala Sean Salisbury.

[EDIT] having said that, this was a really stupid statement, which is what made me think of the S Salisbury comparison

 

Well, when you rollover in the morning and see him, tell him we said, "Congrats".

 

Aside from his bombastic statements, he was a Dolphins fan growing up

 

Counter point...

"he isn't sure Marino or Montana would thrive in today's age due to the mental aspect of today's game.'

I dunno know that sounds pretty ****in dumb to me...rofl
