    Trent Dilfer is the worst NFL analyst on ESPN

    I challenge you guys to find someone worse.

    His main job seems to be evaluating QBs and their play. Nevermind that he's most famous for game-managing his way to a Superbowl. The worst part though is his obnoxious reactionary comments every week.

    A few weeks ago he was listing his Top 5 QBs in the NFL and put Kyle Orton ahead of Tom Brady. That's something even I wouldn't say. I guess this was just done for shock value because leading up to it they kept saying things like: "Next Trent will list his Top 5 QBs AND YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE who he has in it."

    Then after the Broncos lose to the Steelers this same Trent Dilfer is doing long monologues on why Orton isn't a good QB.

    Yesterday he also said if he were starting a team from scratch, Phillip Rivers would either be the first player or QB he'd take. A few weeks ago I don't even think Rivers was in his top 5.

    Other nominees include:

    Adam Schefter - Makes up rumors with the only source being what he thinks is going to happen. ESPN spent the few days leading up to the trade deadline discussing scenarios that he made up. He kept saying the Steelers would sign Larry Johnson just because Johnson has always wanted to play for them and is from Pa. Other media outlets just took his word and ran with it even though the Steelers don't really sign a lot of free agents, especially jackasses like LJ.

    Mortensen - Does a worse job than Schefter and you can see in his face that he is aware of this.

    John Clayton - Constantly makes inaccurate predictions. Also states things as fact with the only source being his imagination.

    Matt Millen - http://www.virtualsportsnetwork.com/...ad.php?t=43506

    Merrill Hoge - Always reminds everyone that he was a runningback and played for the Steelers. Says things like you need a "factor back" to win a Superbowl, then changed the definition of factor back from just RB to any position on the field.

    Chris Berman - Does commercials for food designed to make you lose weight (Nutrisystem) then does commercials for food that'll make you gain weight (Applebee's). Also his whole nickname thing is annoying and onbnoxious.

    Mark Schlereth should be on the list.

    Actually, I'm unsure if there are any good ones out there.

    edit: And if I hear Merrill Hodge suck someone's dick one more time for being "an amazing route runner" I will kill someone

      ESPN is awful, which is why I watch NFLN most of the time for my NFL news and analysis.

        I liked Dilfer last year, but he's gone a little crazy since then.

        ESPN analysts are only good if you just hear them, and don't listen to them.

          I can't find video, it was just a middle of the week NFL Live show. But google: Top 5 QB Kyle Orton Dilfer. This was the order:

          1. Peyton Manning
          2. Drew Brees
          3. Eli Manning
          4. Brett Favre
          5. Kyle Orton

            What's the purpose of analysts anymore? You need talking heads to spit the latest news out there, but what more do these guys actually contribute to fan enjoyment of football?

              Hate Dilfer with a passion.

              I used to hate Hoge, but he was practically pinpoint on the 2006 NFL Draft and has been right about quite a number of things.

              Schefter is more of a rumor guy than an "analyst".

                Does anyone work with people who watch ESPN sometimes and come in the next day at work and just seem to recite what they said about a player on sportscenter? I can't stand it when its an idiotic statement and they act like hot shit after they say it.

                  Skip Bayless is a bitter old bitch. And Ed Werder is a hack. Makes up shit left and right.

                    It's all for ratings.

                    Everything on the show is scripted/staged.

                    Dilfer says dumb things so that people like you will watch and then make a thread or blog about it on the internet.

                    If they all had the same top 5 QB lists then nobody would talk about it and they wouldn't get as much attention.

                    Same reason as to why Skip Bayless even has a job.

                              This doesn't make sense.

                              I don't tune in to NFL live to see Dilfer say dumb things. ESPN doesn't make any money from me starting a thread on VSN.

                              They hired him because he has credibility since he played the position. He loses his credibility by making retarded reactionary comments. Usually the only time I even see him on TV is when I leave the channel on ESPN and he happens to come on (like after the MNF game). Now when I see him I'm more likely to change the channel instead of listening to him spew nonsense.
