I feel like Carey is so bad there's a good chance he won't return next year. For this thread's sake and general hilarity, I hope I'm wrong.

He's employed by the same company that thinks Phil Simms is best commentator in the world. Carey probably will be promoted somehow.

What is crazy is that replay is a total mind game now, where you are trying to predict what type of mistakes the booth might make on replay, instead of what really happened. And that is why most all of these so-called experts like Pereira and Carey often look like fools. The call on the field should always stand unless there is no room for reasonable disagreement, but what it has turned into is a total resetting of the play, and the call turns into a majority opinion (kind of like the difference between being convicted in a criminal case and a civil case). If people who have watched the games for decades can reasonably disagree on a certain play, and those in the booth can reasonably disagree, then the call on the field should stand. Replay is a disaster.

Why should the call on the field have privilege once it goes to a replay review? When things are uncertain, why don't they go based on the preponderance of evidence, which is going to be based on the video evidence? The entire reason it's kicked up to the booth is in case the ref messed up.

As far as I'm concerned, the replay officials should not even be told what the call on the field is, they should give it their best guess. Just because there can be disagreement doesn't mean one side is much more likely to be right than the other.

That culminated in the Super Bowl, when Carey wrongly claimed that Carolina would win a challenge on an incomplete pass. After Carolina lost the challenge, CBS didn’t bring Carey back for the rest of the game.

this still cracks me up and should be reason for him to be on cbs always

The call on the field should only take precedence if the replay view is slightly obscured. If you can see the play clearly then going with the call on the field is a chicken sh%! cop out

They should hire me, I know what the refs on the field are going to rule almost all the time. I don't always agree with it, but I know what they're going to do.

Yeah, he sucked because he wasn't a good "broadcaster" not because he was woefully incompetent at understanding and interrupting the rules.
