Tasker was absolutely not a homer. The reason I disliked his early commentating is because he didn't even slightly lean towards homer-ism. During the drought, you'd think he hated the team for how critical he was. It wasn't until someone asked him directly why he was so down on the team and he said something like "I'll tell you they're good when they're actually good."
That being said, he's come around too much with the current roster. He's not wrong in saying that this roster could have won the Super Bowl for the past few years. But both he and Chris Brown's have bought in 100% where even die-hard optimists have concerns i.e. Spencer Brown & MLB. That plus their endorsement of the Delayed Onset Emotional Exhaustion excuse for absolutely everything--even roster construction--is disappointing.
