Trent Dilfer is the worst NFL analyst on ESPN

[Tailback U]

I really wish they would just have more shows breaking down film.

I remember Jaws used to have a segment where he did that, didn't he?

I think Inside the NFL on Showtime still has segments with film breakdown.

True, but I think the Salisbury/Clayton "douche-offs" were the gold standard. I honestly think that Salisbury wasn't even getting the audio of what Clayton was saying. Salisbury would stand there waiting, the director would point his finger at Salisbury when Clayton was done speaking, then Salisbury would yell "John Clayton! You can take your protractor, your pencil, and your Spongebob Squarepants outfit and shove it up your ass...BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG!"

It wasn't really Salisbury playing "devil's advocate", because he never said anything about the topic at hand. He would just yell at Clayton for being wrong.

Weird.

Yeah, that's true those segments did really start breaking down to the point where neither would even talk about the question at hand and just throw personal jabs at one another.

I specifically remember the time that Salisbury called Clayton "The Crypt Keeper".

Same thing happened with Sean Salisbury on ESPN. When he was first hired, he was a normal person giving his opinion on NFL-related matters. Then after a couple months, he completely went off the deep end and started saying the most insane crap. They even created a regular feature where Sean Salisbury would yell at John Clayton. Its what ESPN wants. I am assuming that Ron Jaworksi has some clause in his contract which states that everyone else at ESPN must be dumber than him.

This is ridiculously true. The same can be said for Trev Alberts and Mark May. They start off, just giving opinions, with good rationale and backing up their point...but at some point ESPN said with these guys "be the most obnoxious dick face possible we want water cooler material here people...say the dumbest shit you can think of, who cares if you can back it up..."

Most recently, ESPN gave the go ahead for Mort and Adam Schefter to team up with Pro Football Weekly to deliver the most out of this world news, scoops, and "rumors" they can think of...I can't wait until they have Mort and Schefter argue about whose sources are better...maybe they'll dress Schefter up like he is straight from the Holy Land...even Lady Gaga thinks Adam Schefter looks too Jewish.

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.

Sorry but ESPN could not give a shit about what goes on with random boards.

Trent Dilfer does not = ratings.

Dilfer can be a fool, period.

People on message boards hate everyone on TV.

Doesnt matter how good or bad or credible or awful they are EVERY guy on tv is hated.
Name any guy that is good and has a good reputation theres someone whos started a thread hating them.

Theres plenty of shows that break down games and film. NFLN has a number of shows that arent just the usual talking heads disagreeing with each other. I suggest you guys watch them if everything else is so intolerable.

For the record Schlereth , Dilfer , Clayton are all good. "Segments" are always scripted and pretty redundant. But when actual topics of the day are discussed Dilfer is good and Schlereth is really good. Dilfer still has the best segment/speech of the year with his rant on the NFL rules on hitting QBs.

This whole ESPN is d@ stupid and I cant watch analyst X got old in 2004. Move on, theres plenty of other programming.

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

you sure he wasn't saying that based upon how they are playing THIS year at that time?

which would make that list pretty good considering Orton only threw 1INT and had his team out to a 6-0 start or whatever it was at the time.

In this age, people bitch about EVERYTHING...it's the downfall of america quite honestly. geez.

Yeah, our generation invented bitching about everything. Come on man. The only difference now is that everyone has a voice because of the world becoming, in effect, smaller. If they had the internet in the 1700's, there would be just as much bitching, the only difference would be the length and grammatical correctness of posts.

Yeah and now that everyone has some sort of outlet to let their voice be known, it's quite sickening...

Hey just mute your TV...why bother watching or listening to anything for that matter lol.
