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.

Now he is all annoying schtick. 1 hour ago, WhoTom said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 6 minutes ago, warrior9 said: I read an article a few years back after his first season prior to his first post season announcing.

WhoTom Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It's a couple of years old, but I still think of it when we discuss Romo's pre-snap reads: https://sports.theonion.com/tony-romo-realizes-he-should-have-used-ability-to-read-1832056460 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not Kevin Harlan or Kenny Albert but he sounds pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
