Fox PBP man Dick Stockton--worst announcer ever?

Stockton may be slipping, but he was always one of the better pbp guys.

 

I also want to cut him some slack because that whole FOX production was terrible.

 

I always prefer when the camera keeps focus on the field after a play ends so that we can see the ball placed, substitutions , huddles (or no), and line adjustments. Announcers comment on all these things and it keeps them in the game.

 

During this game, the camera was all over the place after the whistle blew. Shots of the crowd, shots of the sidelines, tight closeups of the QB. This was especially annoying because the 9ers run the no huddle.

 

Not to make excuses, but I think that this threw off the announcers. They weren't given the opportunity to set up or break down a play because the camera was focused on a closeup of Taylor or on Chip Kelly reading his play card.
