I like Wills quite a bit as a pbp guy. As an analyst, not so much.
One thing I think was beneficial for Maher was that he had a foil - Doug Barkley, Mike Rogers. They weren't afraid to call out the flames/cast them in a negative light, which helped balance some potential for Maher to be an over-the-top homer. I'm not so sure Derek has that with Peter.
