Let me start by stating that I no longer live in the Redskins radio broadcast area. I did grow up with Frank (gone) Sonny, and Sam and occasionally hear snippets of the current incarnation. IMO they are no where near their glory days. That said, even Sam's dementia doesn't drop them below the majority of local broadcasters. I listen to a lot traveling and wanted to get other's opinions on the worst, best and who should supplant the current Redskin lineup.

My worst is the Panthers. They are quiet during the play and then discuss it as if the radio (non-viewing) audience could believe what they saw. Sample from the Colts-Panthers game:
"Wow, did you see that."
"Was he in?"
"I think so. Um, don't know. Is there a replay? Look at the screen."
"Yeah, I don't know. Worst case they still can stop them."
"I think we got it. What did the ref signal?"
"Ummmmm..."
Play by play guy "The interception stands and the Panthers just have to kneel on the 20 yard line. No review is under way."

Best is the Broncos. Brian Griese is great at offering commentary and his partner (don't remember his name) tells the action without offering references nobody cares about.
