I think that is entirely the purpose and it works really well.
Vic Rauter is an announcer...he isnt there to give great insight and strategy to the viewer, he has two multiple-time champions sitting right beside him for that.
His job is to keep a flow and get the others talking about situations and strategies etc, mention sponsors often, and be a foil for Russ and Cheryl.
He's a master at it.
