Gary Danielson receives backlash after wild comparison on Alabama at Texas A&M broadcast
By Keith Farner
Published:
Gary Danielson enjoys comparing players, especially within the SEC. But fans watching the CBS broadcast of Alabama at Texas A&M immediately took issue with the color analyst.
Danielson compared Jake Johnson, a growing contributor on the Texas A&M offense, to All-American Brock Bowers, the star tight end at Georgia.
Johnson made 2 catches for 22 yards and a touchdown. But the irritation likely stems from the fact that Johnson isn’t the most dangerous player on his own team, on offense, much less as talented or tough for opponents as Bowers.
But that wasn’t the only problem fans had with Danielson. There was also the usual Alabama bias that he was accused of in the first half.
Here’s a sampling of the reaction:
Did Gary Danielson really just compare Aggys tight end Jake Johnson with Brock Bowers??? ??seriously

Max Johnson throwing a touchdown pass to Jake Johnson will fascinate Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson to a degree we have not seen since they realized Kyle Trask and Kyle Pitts were both named Kyle.
