You have it exactly right. JR is not going to be able to do it forever, although his commentary has gotten so robotic you can record a selection of his announcing and just play it over and over again to the same effect.

Right now, I can think of two play-by-play guys in the WWE that are better: Joey Styles and Josh Mathews. Both guys go deeper than JR with their commentary. Styles sounds very monotonous, but if they let him call matches as he felt like, he'd be the best guy in the WWE by far. When he first got on to RAW, his commentary was a refreshing change. Both guys are just too "smarky" for the WWE's tastes.

I was glad when I heard JR suggest that he thinks Joey Styles & Jonathan Coachman should call the Royal Rumble Match. Of course, the guys calling it are going to be almost the exact opposite of who JR suggested. I'm willing to bet that the commentators of the match will be Jim Ross, Tazz and Michael Cole.
