Dan Orlovsky has quickly become one of the best analysts on ESPN when it comes to football. Although Orlovsky didn’t have a great career in the NFL, there is no doubt that he understands the game. Through shows like NFL Live, Orlovsky has been able to teach the average fan about quarterbacking. He knows all of the Xs and Os, and always brings a unique perspective. Overall, he is a huge addition to shows like First Take, even if Stephen A. Smith is constantly disagreeing with him.
Unfortunately, just like everyone else, Orlovsky is susceptible to some pretty bad takes. Whenever you get in the habit of being on these shows that are made specifically for arguments, you are bound to say something ridiculous. Consequently, it is something that has happened to pretty well everyone. However, when it does happen, you can expect it to go viral in the worst way possible. Today, that is exactly what happened to the former Detroit Lion.
Dan Orlovsky Vs. Keyshawn Johnson
In the video above, Orlovsky was asked to give his top five quarterbacks of all time. Shockingly, his picks were almost nonsensical. Overall, he had Tom Brady in first, which is fine. However, he had Dan Marino fifth, Peyton Manning fourth, John Elway third, and Patrick Mahomes second. Yes, that’s right, Joe Montana wasn’t even on the list. Moreover, he put Mahomes in at second even though he has only been in the NFL for six seasons. Subsequently, Damien Woody and Keyshawn Johnson were absolutely shocked. This eventually led to a conversation in which Orlovsky had a very hard time explaining himself. Furthermore, it felt like Orlovsky couldn’t get out of the corner he put himself in, leading to a hilarious exchange from the First Take panelists.
Orlovsky’s list is now being scrutinized on Twitter. Fans are pretty shocked that someone who knows so much about football would make a list like this. It is very obvious that Montana belongs in anyone’s top 5, regardless of the era he played in. However, Orlovsky clearly did not get that painfully obvious message. Let us know what you think of his list, in the comments down below.
