Romo is so unbelievably overrated

I can't stand him anymore honestly. I was really hoping he went elsewhere last year when his contract was up. Guess I have to get used to him now that we are a big dawg in the AFC.

I liked him when he first started out. He was fresh, entertaining and insightful.  Now he is all annoying schtick.

I also liked his pre-snap reads.

 

And I fixed the last sentence.

I read an article a few years back after his first season prior to his first post season announcing. It said something along the lines of:

 

The reason he's so good right now is because he played with a lot of these QB's and knows their checks and where they go. As times goes on, he wont be able to predict plays anymore because the way of audibling from these QB's will be changed and/or gone. 

 

Now I like Romo and I think he's an entertaining listen and he clearly knows the game very well. But I kind of agree with the above sentiment.

Ironically, the things he did so well to earn him that record contract, he no longer does. Those pre snap reads and predictions were not only entertaining, but educational.

Hmm, that's a good point.

is it me, or has Romo's voice gotten sort of rough the past year or so?

 

always sounds like he has vocal issues

I haven't noticed it, but I think he has a good voice for the booth. He's not Kevin Harlan or Kenny Albert but he sounds pretty good.

He is. He was brilliant his first year. He has been bang average since. Controversial view, but give me Collinsworth.

It seems so weird did they basically offer him a crap load of money and then tell to completely change how he does the job he did so well as to get that money?

Agree. They got a Ferrari and spent 3 years turning him into a sensible family hatchback.

And the genius behind that decision makes even more money than Romo does.
