Ted Robinson signed to 5 year extension as voice of 49ers

I like the extension. At first I wasn't a fan of the switch to Ted. Mainly because he wasn't Joe Starky, who we all know was quick to get a little crazy/silly with his call of the game. But after a few games I really started to like Ted's call of the game. Very crisp and quick with info, yet knows when to get excited, but doesn't lose his cool. Congrats Ted.

Awesome. He's done a great job replacing the great Joe Starkey.

Took him a second to get comfortable (I still think he blew the game-winning TD-call in 2011 vs. Detroit), but now he's solid.

Agreed.

But that's not to take away from Ted. He does a great job, too.

I can agree with this.

x3.

I've warmed up to Robinson and really think he's done a great job but when I see things like the Smith to Davis pass to win the game against the Saints, or the Kaepernick run against GB, or the Bowman bat-down to win the NFC Championship game... I always think to myself: I wonder how nuts Starkey would have went.

I think it adds to it considering Starkey had to mull through all the garbage years in SF before he retired. It would have been great to hear him call the 2011 season. Oh what a bonanza!

Some of my all time favorite 49ers moments are narrated by Starkey, but the winning has made Robinson and Davis a good combo. Glad Robinson is sticking around.
