Steven A Smith, Mo Eggar, Kellerman, Rapien, Travis Clay, Cowherd, a million others. Now a lot of these people give really dumb takes because they need ratings but someone doesn't need to be a former player to be able to understand the game (See Bill Belichick).
How many opinions have we heard on Dalton from former players who really know nothing about him and have probably only seen a handful of his games? At least Rapien is a die hard and is around the players every day seeing what they're doing.
That's the point I was making Mrs. Rapien. He trying too hard to be like those other turds you mentioned. And I'd say the same thing about them too if they were doing the Blandy Dalton routine. It not as effective coming from shock jocks (or wannabe shock jocks) as it would be if say, Boomer Esiason was saying it.
