Man....the pain is Romos eyes when talking about the end of the Lions game and how good it felt to get the win knowing what was coming in the Packers game and also him talking about the Dez Bryant catch is heartbreaking. He deserved a Super Bowl more than anyone. I'll always love #9 and what he did for the Dallas Cowboys. My favorite player still to this day
What did he do for us nothing
Look at my pic, you know what team I'm for...I feel that hurt from the Dez catch because it was a catch, and it should've been, had it not been for the rule.
I'm glad he's still getting the recognition he's earned in commentary. I don't like the Cowboys (again, look at the pic), but I like Romo.
@@MemBirdman Nobody wants to look at your pic
@@cuzican2777 Pots & Kettles.
@@soulrebel4life made a team as talented as the 2017 browns to look like contenders.
He was a solid quarterback, but I could most definitely listen to him in the broadcast booth and listen to him break down a game. Guy loves football and is passionate about it, and you love to see and hear it.
Honestly I can’t stand him in the booth but to each their own. I’d much rather have Ian Eagle
@@shawnchristianson324 He's okay unless he's covering the cowboys. His bias in the last playoff game was so, so obvious.
@@footballnick2 yeah. But it's expected....no big deal if he's biased there....as long as they don't give him a whistle flag and a black & white striped shirt !!!😂😂😂
He is better then Aikman and Buck those to are horrible at calling games IMO
He sucked man as a cowboys fan I hated him
Without a doubt, Tony should had a ring. There are 11 men on the field. Not just one! In my eyes, Tony is a legendary Dallas cowboy hero! We love you Tony Romo! Thanks for all the memories.
Lol ...06 playoffs he fumbles the fg hold costing them the game... plays vs giants tosses pick in the end zone with seconds left... play in game to make the playoffs they got crushed by the EAGLES and he lost 2 fumbles and had a pick.... he sucked dude!!!
0 SB
FLY EAGLES FLY! ROMO SUCKED! LOL
@@tylersimmons6013 Dallas owns Philly.
So should Dan Marino
That 2014 “catch” will live in every cowboys fan’s head that remembers watching that game until the day the Cowboys win. It is the biggest what if a lot of cowboys fans have ever witnessed. It really seemed like the stars did align for the boys that year
Do you ACTUALLY think they would have beat seattle then new england?
@@dopeascopebrother60 they had already beat Seattle in Seattle that year, which in that time period was only Seattle's second loss at home in like 3 seasons. In fact cowboys dominated them alot more than score suggests. Seattle got a td from a blocked punt td return. And got another td from cowboys punt returner dropping the punt that Seattle picked up. Cowboys still won 30-23, but take away those punt team mistakes it is 30-9.
Cowboys were 12-0 that season when Romo was playing healthy or at least able to take his pain meds for his 2 broken bones in his back.
But still, I don't think the refs would have let them beat patriots.
@@dopeascopebrother60 ACTUALLY hell yeah, son.
@@dopeascopebrother60 Absolutely, you’d have to be a blind hater with zero football knowledge to think the Cowboys didn’t have the team to go all the way that year.
I still hold a grudge on it
That “Dez Catch” was his redemption. It really was an amazing throw and catch in an a amazing moment in a game where it mattered but sadly was robbed by incompetence
To this day cowboys still getting robbed,
@Hector Fontanez even at the time I don't believe the ball ever hit the ground and he didn't have control
@Hector Fontanez It's tough one
@Hector Fontanez I believe they did admit it a few years ago I wish I could find the article but I swear they did. It doesn't take away that pain as a Cowboys fan of that loss but eventually they will get past the divisional round my Dad's Bucs can do it and win the super bowl so eventually the Cowboys can too
@Hector Fontanez That was a catch the rule didn't change. The NFL admitted it was a catch
Eagles fan here and wow, what a guy. One of the best football players of our generation and maybe ever: not because of wins, rings, championships but because of this mans character, joy, and love for life and others.
Respect bro 💯
Ever😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
He is one hell of a guy!
Tony was the quarterback that I grew up watching and he's certainly the most influential player that made me love football and the Cowboys.
I’m not a cowboys fan. But I have been a massive Romo fan since he came into the league. One of the most underrated QB’s of all time. I’ll forever believe that Jerry wasted one of the greatest of his era. By handcuffing him to Jason “ mediocre” Garrett.
@@WheelchairWolverine Underrated? Romo was an average QB throughout the majority of his career. 2014 was the only year I felt he played up to the level of an upper echelon elite QB and that was it
@@vizionaryentertainment8464 Thank you.... That one season they were winning was a comedy of errors and happened to work out for them.. He would fumble, kick the ball five yards and happened to blindly throw it to a receiver. He was so overrated its not even funny.
@@vizionaryentertainment8464 he was above average. Do you watch football?
@@vizionaryentertainment8464 actually, there is a great video out about Romo and how he unfortunately had the luck of being up against Manning, Brady, and a few other greats. To say he is average and not above is ignorant at the least. You know it’s not true.
I’m proud of Tony Romo, he did all he could coming from humble beginnings and he deserves everything he has now
@Tye man, I believe he deserved to win that Packer's game. He earned that but many say the NFL is somewhat scripted and they make a fairly solid case for it.
He has nothing, no rings, no championships, zilch. Just another rich ex-football player paid mostly from advertisements.
@Oregon Crow sure buddy, allow me to remind you there are more great qb's w/o rings or championships, zilch than there are qb's that have rings. Oh I wonder why? Because it's extremely difficult to win at the highest level in Football. Respect the NFL player & respect the game son.
Spoiled a good skit with all the ads...my god every few second Come out mad whats the point of watching. Lets quit this pos website.
@@OregonCrow I'm with ya, he never really impressed me. During his tenure I give him 23 out of 32 QB's. Everyone can have an opinion, this is mine. Crow you made Grandpa angry haha ⬇️
Lifelong Steelers fan here, Tony Romo will always be a great Quarterback. Loved his enthusiasm, attitude and desire for football. I don't think he gets the recognition he deserves. Much respect!.
The NFL needs more players like him. Love for the game. And respect for the game.
He couldn’t win a playoff game. Stfu from a real football fan. 😂
Thank you! I agree completely
3 THINGS COWBOY FANS NOW KNOW:
1) Dez caught the ball. Touchdown.
2) Dallas coaches, management, and fans colluded on the greatest act of DISLOYALTY ever seen in the NFL, when they acted as if Romo was nothing when he returned from injury, having replaced him with Dak. Only the DISLOYALTY of the Patriots coach and owner against Tom Brady has ever exceeded that which was given Romo.
3) Dak has produced nothing of value since replacing Romo as QB, and he never will. Romo was at his best, you discarded him, you treated him like trash, and now Dallas has “The Curse Of Tony” hanging over the franchise. And listen closely Dallas: it has gone on for years so far, and it will last for DECADES.
One of my favorite Tony Romo moments was when CBS had to tell him to tone down his broadcasting because during his first season there was a stretch of games where he would correctly predict almost every play
Would have been interesting if he had used that skill when he was playing
@@stephenbayer957 one man cant win a game for a TEAM sport and his O line was dog water, keep trying though
@@ImAlwaysFrisky Didn't need to win a game. Just play quarterback. Which he did poorly
@@stephenbayer957 yeah I’m gonna call BS on that statement pal
@@stephenbayer957 ahhh thank you. Hes not Romo without some hater on his back
Coming from a huge redskins fan (WFT). I absolutely love Romo and he is a huge personality in football.
Thank you for all the great games and moments for all those years.
Thank you brother, class act.
I hear ya
Lifelong Giants fan and I was riveted by this doc and was always a secret fan of Tony as a player and person even though he played for our biggest rival
@@DietCokeKillar CLASS ACT COMMENT, RESPECT =)
What do you think about the name change?
Romo had some great duels with Washington, 2012 obviously RGIII destroyed Dallas, then in 2013 Romo had that dramatic game winner in the last minute, playing through injury, only to have to miss the season finale which resulted in another 8-8 finish. Then 2014, that brutal loss to Washington at home, with Romo getting injured again. Then his last game against them (though nobody knew at the time), getting a bit of revenge in week 17. Dallas-Washington was really a rivalry back then, y’all always played the Cowboys tough.
As a Burlington residence, I can confirm the town thrives a lot from Tony Romo, such a great guy from a great town
Never felt like he could've done more. The man left everything on the field even if that cost him his health.
Such a solid QB. That game he finished with the broken ribs is one of the great all time performances
Finished one with a broken back , too, twice.
@@soulrebel4life the seasons he sat was the 2 broken collarbone seasons.
@@soulrebel4life if you're talking about 08, you're wrong, besides the fact that it was his throwing hand, he played with a cast or splint on. He didn't sit out the rest of the season.
Not just a broken rib but a punctured lung. He also played half of 2014 with 2 broken bones in his back and broken ribs.
@@soulrebel4life - Fake news.
Thank you Tony! Growing up watching you next to my dad on the sofa on Sunday nights will always stay with me for life!
As a die hard Eagles fan, much respect for this dude. I watched him torch us, and us crush him. With that said, at the end of it all, Romo is one of the toughest QBs we've faced.
As a life long Redskins fan, this man destroyed most of my Sunday afternoons. I hated him when he was a Cowboy. Now I look back and see what an amazing job he did with mediocre teams around him. Now I think he is one of the bast analysts on tv.
Whooped your tail, so it means you both sucked!

You, my friend, know what you are talking about. Cheers
That's how I feel about Joe Theismann, when he was a broadcaster. Guess that shows my age
The way people treated him was horrible. I’m an eagles fan but this guy was lethal . And he crushed my soul a few times. Many times .
As a Cowboys fan with all due respect Philly fans don't have souls!!!
@@csb772cmon dont be a jerk smh
@@csb772dudes being respectful, don't roast the man for no reason.
THANK YOU! I never in my life could understand why people say he was awful. Even his playoff stats are good. It makes NO sense! He was a great qb
Yeah, there were some Cowboy fans who didn't deserve to have him QB their Cowboys. This man ran for his life and carried that team on his back, doing it. Idc who your team was. If you loved the game of football. Tony was fun to watch.
He's damn great in the booth, and was elite on the field. My mind will never change.
Dez caught it, still one of the worst calls ive ever witnessed
Makes me think about what could have been
Still sad for romo n dez
I was as shocked as Dez when I watched that game, thinking........."HOW was that NOT a touchdown?"
Still 4 minutes left for rodgers with all 3 time outs if I'm not mistaken
He sure did
Tony is a class act. He is humble and honest. Also, he is GREAT as an analyst!
True Story, I remember his first game he called...it was almost annoying how much he knows about the game.
I never really gave Romo a chance while he played, but after watching him in the booth it was pretty obvious he's a fantastic guy. Always entertaining to see him in the booth.
Sadly a lot of people didn’t but they don’t understand Romo was a gunslinger like Farve but since he has a ring it switches to that narrative an I’m honestly tired of it if he sucked so bad he wouldn’t have made it to the Pros 🤦🏽♀️
Tony romo is the Charlie Brown of QBs..I'll never forget how proud I was seeing him and Garcia in the same pro bowl when these other people said we couldn't play alongside them..
I can’t get passed the intro without getting emotional. The cowboys organization failed him. He deserved so much more.
He wasnt an elite QB by any means tho
@@HiBye-ec8ts thats such a silly thing to say. Dallas has had some incredible QB’s. All time greats in fact. Tony holds like literally every passing record over all of them. You could say his playoff record says different. Yeah but if the refs get the dez call right then for all we know the superbowl could have been in his grasp. If that changes then it could’ve changed peoples view on him. Go ask all of the people in the league during Romo’s career and they will say he is elite.
I’m not a Cowboys fan at all and ai agree. Tony Romo is a stand up guy and deserved so much more
I'm not a cowboys fan and never will be but I was very aware that no matter what, Tony Romo was going to be a top ten QB every game, every year he ever played. I think he was actually in the top 6 in yards every single season he played? I could be wrong, but it's something along those lines. He's elite
The Cowboys failed everyone since the day's of after Jimmy including us fans
One of my favorite QBs. Loved his passion for the game and his competitive drive to wanting to win always. A lot didn’t go his way and you can blame that on the coaching and luck.
Romeo was a clown
Some of the best memories with my daughter are watching Tony Romo's career. Still remember us watching that Monday Night game when he took over as QB1! Thanks for Making Dallas Great Again!!!
Romo turned out to be one of the best QB’s Dallas has ever had. Despite not getting a SB ring, it would take a whole team to do it. I love the charisma and bravery he had to overcome injuries and bad criticism. He was a warrior and he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame!
Dez caught it
You got to be kidding. Dude won like 1 playoff game. Danny White was better he at least got Cowboys to championship games
i believe the hall of fame is a bit of a stretch for the numbers he put up in my unbiased opinion as i am not a fan of his play nor the cowboys however i will give credit where it is due, in that he did definitely have an outstanding career given the amount of pressure and criticism he received for him to get up off the turf brush the dirt off and run another play as if nothing negative happened prior is admirable a true gun slinger and with that style of play it will bring a lot of interceptions but also a lot of touchdowns and yards gained again ball of fame seems like a stretch in my opinion but one hell of a career where the lights shine the brightest so salute to him for that !
@@realitythatdreams2940 When you look at just his stats alone, I can see a possible HOF ballot.
@@jonvisser1509 If Dan Fouts is in the HOF, then Romo at least has an argument. Fouts playoff record was 3-4 and he had some really, really bad games. Fouts career passer rating is 80.2. Romo's is 97.1. I'm not saying he will ever get in but he at least has an argument.
I’m not a Cowboys fan and not a super avid NFL fan but watched this whole video and choked up 3 times. 🥺 He is an incredible human being. I wish him nothing but the best.
This is the perfect football story of a man who strived for greatness and came up short. Not all QBs are gonna be Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. There has to be a loser on the other side of winners, no matter how painful that is
Phillip rivers, Matt Ryan (😢28-3), Tony Romo
He was still great. Championships don't make you great. If they did Aaron Rodgers would have multiple Romo was an incredible QB. Should be in the HOF
The problem for him was he was never protected. When the cowboys finally got him protection in 2014, he had his best season. Dak had been a beneficiary of Tony's insistence with the cowboys that they focus on O line play.
@@Mack_Worlds_Media the goat Big Ben🥲
@@DDL-n2u totally don’t agree with you. The defining characteristic between the greats and all time good QBs is championships. Also Aaron Rodgers wouldn’t have anymore or any less. That’s up to him to get more. This sport at the end of the day is about production, did you produce and win. Tony Romo had chances to produce and win but didn’t. It is what it is
One of my favorite players of all time. We were blessed to have you Tony!
Romo always made the Cowboys feel like America's team. They had such a strong team identity with him and even when they were losing you couldn't help but love em. Thank you Romo for years of fun football to watch and thank you for bringing new life to the broadcast booth.
St. Anthony of Dallas. We love you forever, Tony. Thanks for the blood, sweat, tears, broken bones, punctured lungs, thrills, and skills.
Every Dallas franchise QB has a cool and unique story. Meredith was the local boy who went large, Staubach had his Naval commitment and the crazy QB dramas that surrounded him, Danny White was the understudy backup QB (and punter) who grew up to be the starter, Troy had his OU/UCLA transfer and second dance with Barry Switzer, and Dak was the afterthought 4th rounder who blew up in his rookie year after taking over for the crippled starter...
...but to be a walk-on undrafted free agent and become a record-setting superstar who holds it down like a boss for a decade while dating pop starlets, all at the highest profile position in all of sports? And then to basically become an elite color commentator at the highest level immediately upon retiring from the game? That's just legendary.
Couldnt agree more
My words to my friends exactly i wish Tony could of won one ..icing on the cake to an amazing story
Plus by the tail end of his career stat wise he’s in the conversation of top 20 or 50 of all time (depending on how you look at it) in most 4th quarter comebacks (21st), tds (24th), top 50 in passing yards (36th) all of this from an undrafted free agent whom spent 3 years before his QB debut as a holder now that’s impressive 💯🔥🔥🔥 he’s a real chill dude nvr understood why they crucified him so much
Crippled? He could have played into 2017.
Thanksgiving 2006. Cowboys vs Bucs. Took my Mom, Step Dad and brother to our first ever NFL Football game at Texas Stadium. Romo threw for 5 TD's. First Cowboy ever to throw the most touchdowns in a Thanksgiving game. We even had Thanksgiving dinner at the club there at Texas Stadium.
So cool to see this. That exact game was my first cowboy game that my father took my brother and I too. I was 10 years old watching Romo throw those TDs. Wish I could rewind the clock to that moment for sure.
Tomo Romo is an absolute gem, as a QB, a broadcaster (my favorite, I look for his game every week), and a human. Go Tony. I hate the Cowboys but you sir are an inspiration.
As a Giants fan I respect Romo. You always knew the Cowboys were gonna give you a hand full with him at QB. Even years where the Giants were visibly a superbowl calibur team he gave them a chance on a much less talented roster. Respect.
I love hearing that his dad was Joe at him by saying it’s going to be tough making it in D1 basketball. Most dads would just “say sure Tony do whatever your heart desires”. You need to be honest with your kids.
Romo was the reason why I started watching the Cowboys again. I knew right away he was going to be something special.
Man, I'm a Diehard Packers fan but, I love Tony Romo. He always has a smile on his face. Seems like a great guy to have a few beers with.
He's my favorite commentator
Always smiling. Years ago, my brother put a kid's Cowboys helmet on one of his grandkids and he looked like 2006 Romo. That kid is now 16 and likes video games.
Spoiled a good skit with all the ads...my god every few second Come out mad whats the point of watching. Lets quit this pos website.
He’s actually a jerk irl. Ironically he’s a drunk
I love the way he says he was humiliated and embarrassed to not be drafted, when his friends/family were over. So many guys would brush that off, but it meant something to him...the dude is human.
Spoiled a good skit with all the ads...my god every few second Come out mad whats the point of watching. Lets quit this pos website.
When you reach like the 6th round, at that point you're probably better off not getting drafted and instead getting to choose where you want to go as an undrafted free agent. So it probably worked out for the best, going to Dallas with Parcells and Sean Payton as the coaches, instead of getting drafted in the 6th round by like the Lions.
Tony made several average teams really good, and made some really bad teams average (8-8). Not very many players can do that. And he did it his whole career. Making average receivers look like All-stars, and great ones like Whiten even better, is what is needed in a quarterback.
Thank you Tony.
My buddy is a Cowboys fan tryin to say Dak is better.
@@willd84451130 Dak benefited from the O-Line that TONY deserved IMO.
@@willd84451130 your friend doesn't know football
@@Soccercrazyigboman I think he’s going to be traded I bet after this season
@@youngtruthspitta3655 lmao no one is gonna want his contract. We stuck with him
From 2006-2014 (years my boy Romo was healthy) he actually had more 4th quarter comebacks than Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Big Ben. He also has a top 10 passer rating of all time. Everyone just jumped on cowboys hate bandwagon and crucified him for everything. I watched his entire career and the man was the only reason we were relevant. He never had a top 10 defense (cant win a championship without a decent defense) and his o-line was absolutely terrible until very late in his career. If you look up Romo scrambling highlights you can easily see that he was running for his life but still made amazing throws and touchdowns to keep Cowboys in the game or to win when they wouldn’t have with 90%+ of QBs. He will always be my favorite player and damn do I miss watching him.
My favorite cowboy. Can't watch them since he retired
I completely feel that, I have lost so much passion for the team when he retired. He was my favorite player of all time and I miss him every time a new season starts, but at least we get to hear him commentate games so that’s at least the bright side :(
And yet idiots and I hate to say sports publicists suddenly forget that football is a team sport as far as Tony Romo is concerned and act like he's the reason they never won with him as QB.
The only reason to watch was Romo.
But he threw an INT in the playoff loss to the Giants. This is about winning championships. Doesn't matter how great he was in regular season. That's why Eli was better because he came up big when it counted.
One of the most underrated and sometimes under-appreciated QBs of all time.
I will forever be a fan of #9 👏🏽✊🏽
Underrated, his playoff performances were ass
@@durellpowell3324 his whopping 3 playoff chances

@@durellpowell3324- His individual performance speaks for itself.
@@durellpowell3324 This guy wasn't worth crap. He played for a great team, he just didn't have it. He's just a Jerry Jones pick. Same as worthless Prescott.
As a Packer fan in a family of cowboy fans, I remember how hard that 2014 game was. But knowing Tony was a Wisconsin boy I always held him in high regards for his effort. People forget that the dude was Undrafted and sat three years. To be considered one of the franchises best, is historic. He doesn’t have the rings or mvps, but the hope on ever single game, how polarizing he was, makes him great. Not everyone can win in a team game, but not everyone gives you hope that they can like Romo did.
Lol that 2014 playoffs was wild. Lions we’re robbed, cowboys robbed, packers robbed, and Seahawks robbed 😤😂😂
@@tristandawe9518 I loved Romo, but I think I put Rodger, Troy, Danny White, and Dandy Don over him.
@@greek1237 no they all had historic teams romo never had 50% of that supporting cast
A very tough guy who never gave up. I admire him a lot.
33:03 the moment I don’t think I’ll ever get over as a Cowboys fan. That 2014 season was something special and to have it end like that was so damn heartbreaking smh
Tony Romo was never the problem. Always kept us in games. Efficient, smart and a leader. First guy and last guy out mentality. Being the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is the most difficult position in sports. No one is more scrutinized and or polarized. Always handled himself with class.
@Laura Deuce in the 10 years that he started for the cowboys he was 4th in QB rating only behind Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning and drew Brees. From 2006-2015 he led the NFL in 4th quarter comebacks with 23, Peyton Manning was 2nd in that te frame with 21. In that same time frame he had a 4th quarter QB rating of 100 which led the league. QBs throw interceptions. That's a given. To say he was a choke or not clutch goes against numbers and statistics. He was crazy efficient. Granted he fumbled a huge snap in a playoff game and probably had a few bad interceptions here and there but he definitely never was the cause of our problems.
He wasnt that efficient lol. His TD to Int ratio was 2/1. Thats not elite by any means
What???..he would toss a pick when the pressure got to him... did you even watch him play?
Always kept us in the game. Spot on, without him we're losing Team every year
Bs!!!!
I heard a story about Tony, wearing a nice suit, driving a fancy sports car and stopping to help a woman on a freeway. He changed her tire. A small gesture, but it shows his small town family values. Great parents. It still makes me cry.
Romo was a great QB but clearly an even better person. Really enjoyed this video.
He was a trash QB. You clearly know nothing of them game. Written is the only reason we know romo’s name.
@@dwightschrute7434hat’s crazy cos he had other options to throw to through out his career… not saying witten wasnt his favorite but he clearly knew how to throw and deliver the ball
@@Maldyyy.3 Tony Romo should not even be talked about. He was average at best!
@@plantbasedministries9233 average is crazy… look at his career stats not average at all. He has more passing yards than Troy aikman so if romo is average than you’re calling Troy average. Troy is a HOF btw. You’re mainly calling him average because he didn’t do anything in the playoffs which would be reasonable but you have to consider the fact that the defenses he had were always trash. Not to mention he went toe to toe with Peyton manning and almost won that match up and Peyton is considered to be one of the greatest quarterbacks ever.
@@dwightschrute7434witten is great but you’re an idiot if you think romo is trash
Tony Romo will always be one of my favorite players ever. I grew up watching him and to me he was the best. Even though throw the ups and down, he was overall a very great QB. He just was sadly never appreciated for it. But all I can say is when people watch this they’ll understand how great he really was. I hope to see him in the HOF one day
He won 2 playof games... HOF?
@@stephenbayer957 I still think so. I understand where you’re coming from about the No super bowl because that’s a big thing but, he’s not the only one who would make the HOF and not have a super bowl. Ex: Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Antonio Gates, Barry Sanders. Etc. the reason why he’d make it is due to his status. He broke many of the nfl stats, mostly Cowboy related. I think he deserves to make the HOF just like the other players listed, which they all had amazing status, they all just had the same issue as Romo. They either fell short of winning, got cheated, short career due to injury, or played for an organization that didn’t win much.
@@stephenbayer957 you’re a hater obviously!!
@@jamesquintana4231 u just named all time greats ! I loved tony Romo too ( I'm a bills fan) but Tony will never get in the hall of Fame! 36000 yards 248 tds 117 ints ,only 29 games over.500 , didn't get 100 wins ! Only 2 playoff wins ! He's not a hall of famer , maybe in our hearts but not in football standards!!!
@@jamesquintana4231 also the guys u named that are in the hall are all timers which Tony isn't even close ! Yes he broke Dallas records so he will make it to Dallas hall of Fame! Jim Kelly went to 4 straight Superbowls and reinvented how offensive football is played with the " no huddle" k gun and had 12 playoff wins with 4 AFC championships , Dan Marino is the greatest most prolific thrower of the football in NFL history and at his retirement owned every passing record Available! Barry Sanders is the greatest running back in NFL history and NEVER ran for less than 1000 yards in any season he suited up , and Antonio gates is top 3 tight end in NFL history with almost every record Available with 12000 yards receiving and 117 tds ! His yards are 2nd all time for a tight end and tds are first all time for a tight end ! Those were terrible comps to make a case for tony Romo getting in the hall of Fame! Tony was great fun to watch and he was an amazing player BUT the hall of Fame is reserved for the best not the " really good"
He was a solid quarterback on the football field, but he’s the best quarterback in the broadcast booth with Jim Nantz. He’s had an awesome journey through all the ups and downs of the game of football
Well said!
Hell no
He was a damn good QB who never got the love he deserved. Jerry Jones said it best his biggest regret was not doing what he needed to get him to a SB and it’s also a shame it took Romo going to the booth to see the mind he has for the game. The basic media that shits on the cowboys 24/7 ruined what was an incredible story of an undrafted free agent from a small town and small school to take the entire country by storm in 2006 by leading the biggest sports franchise in the world to the playoffs and along with that, break every single meaningful passing record the franchise had is nothing short of incredible.
@@soulrebel4life bro you in all of these comments just hating on him. he lives rent free in your head doesn’t he
Solid?? Lmfao nahhh Dak is “solid” Romo was elite
What a role model! Life long Cowboys fan here and it takes a lot to make me buy your jersey. This man knows the true value of life, what it means to be a family man free of drama, and what HARD WORK means. He may not have a ring but he will forever be known as a legend in my book. A lot of these younger players could learn a lot from him. #9
“The catch” is one memory we will always talk about “the what if’s”. Personally, I’m always left wondering what would have happened if they put him back in instead of letting Dak take the boys into the playoffs Dak’s rookie year.
I thought the same thing....was a hard time to be a fan. I didn't want Romo to go but it's hard to say let's switch qbs when ur winning. Wish we would of kept him for a back up longer.
@@travismay8408 love this comment because that sums up what's going on right now with the team.
@@aaronackiss3424 but timing is everything with these 2 situations cause romo was already almost at the end of the road in his career when he kept getting injured while dak is still a young star which gives him time to improve
As a cowboys fan, the catch didn’t matter. Murray fumbled the ball earlier in the game. He doesn’t fumble the catch doesn’t matter
Was about to comment this
I have been a Giants fan for 36 years, but I really do like Romo, what a great guy....and amazing broadcaster. I was not impressed with him replacing Phil Simms but after hearing him call a game, I knew he had the tools to be great...and he is. The way he can call a play accurately before the ball is even snapped provides great insight and entertainment. The best thing is that he looks like to be an amazing dad. Hats off to Tony Romo...and amazing human being
Giants fan here, I’ll always have respect for Romo. He was such a gamer and a tough one to beat, it was hard to hate on him. Low key one of my favorite players during his time playing. Obviously not when playing against the giants lol
Romo is a humble guy meet him in person when I was younger.
Damnnnn dude ur so lucky he's literally my my favorite qb id love to meet him one day💯
My little brother loved watching Tony Romo Play QB
RIP Brother
What happened to your brother?
I remember like was it was just yesterday 2006 when Romo came in to relief Drew against the Giants and even though he threw those ints and we lost the game, I told several people just days after that game, "This guy is going to be a Star ⭐" sure enough it was so. I loved his quick release and quickly became a teacher on the back shoulder throws, for that you have to anticipate with precision, the WR & CB having to be in a particular position even before the throw to act upon it.
I bet you he can still walk down the booth suit up and throw a TD pass if he had too!
Romo will always be my favorite Cowboy. He came from humble beginnings and worked his ass off to become an elite QB.
Romo is one of the most genuine people you'll find
Couldn’t root for the guy but definitely enjoyed watching him play, he really made some epic comebacks and pretty passes. And a great scrambler as well. Shame he didn’t get a ring.
And yeah, Dez caught it.
What an outstanding human being, so proud of watching him play on my era, I’m a G MAN for life but you know to celebrate excellence in other teams
Good story. I enjoyed the times when Romo was the QB. I would always be so nervous when he threw many of those crazy passes. I'm glad he is still in the media.
He made watching the Cowboys fun. Miss his play.
Being a life-long Redskins fan, I could not stand Romo while he was playing. But it always amazes me when I watch something like this and how much my opinion changes about him and other players. Nothing but respect to Tony Romo and his family.
As a lifelong Cowboys fan, Tony Romo is still my favorite player. He elevated some bad rosters into contenders which is a testament to how great he really was. Great player but, even better person based on my interaction with him off the field.
I was romo’s biggest fan in all of glory and mistakes. I loved this guy. My dad is a cowboys fan and we would argue ALL day about romo and he was so happy dak came along while I was heartbroken. Miss you 9 I think we could’ve achieved great success with you under center Jerry didn’t supply you enough. And I stand by that.
Man I love coach parcells. His sense of humor is second to none.
Damn right
growing up. tony was the man. i love him forever no matter how hard he choked. he’s a great role model and has a great work ethic. truly, a football legend.
maybe he will be cantons first commentator in the HoF :)
John madden bro
I remember, while on my second deployment in IRAQ, in 2007, I watched the game against Buffalo…Romo threw 5 Interceptions and Still Won the Game…unforgettable!! I will be 45 this coming March. I went to my first game at Texas Stadium in 1983 when I was just 4 years old, and I have been a Diehard ever since that day! Tony Romo will Always be my Favorite Cowboys Quarterback of All Time! GO COWBOYS!!
I want ROMO to be the COWBOYS COACH....He was a good qb. Very smart guy he knows what the other team is doing before they do it.
That and I honestly believe when Romo was on there roster dak was playing at his best because Romo was giving him advice
@@dillonsparks115makes so much sense
He wasn’t just a “solid qb” this kid was a stud and wanted to win more then the most . If he had belicheck or any of those type of coaches this kid had 3 plus rings . It’s just said how he would carry dallas till the very last second and if he threw a pick it’s all anyone remembered
As usual
Romo shouldn't of lost his starting QB role due to injuries. They should of let him play in the playoffs, he could of taken them deep into the playoffs that year and maybe even won them a superbowl
Because of his playoff record, Tony probably is on the HOF bubble. However, his high-profile television career will push him into the HOF.
@@ARIZJOE He'll make the football HoF, just depends if as a player or broadcaster
Tony Romo is the example of hard work and dedication. “THAT MY QUARTERBACK” 🫡
I´ve always found Romo's carrer relatable to the average guy (me). This is a guy like any of us, not the best (because of course there is a very very few "perfect" people), not the most privileged, or the most well trained, etc, etc, a guy who makes mistakes and tries to learn and improve day by day. I've got the impression that he always found a way to keep going, fall and get up and fall and get up, and that's what life is for the average man who tries to never give up. He was driven by passion for the game and that's why he was a solid QB, because he never gave up even if he "didn't accomplished much or enough" like most of us. I think that's an example of life, because you can leave proudly and with respect knowing that even if you made mistakes you are improving and trying till the end.
This guy is the epitome of an American with a Mexican ancestry, and his work ethic shows through & through. He will forever be my most favorite Cowboys player of all time!
I'm a Packers die hard from Wisconsin, and watching him win with the Cowboys was so bitter sweet. It seems he was a quality human being and a great player who exemplified what a teammate should be. Congrats on a great career and a solid family.
What a class act. Thanks Tony.
The most underrated QB in NFL history. I wish he played for a better team, he deserved better. Cowboys have been the exact same team since 1996, all the talent in the world can't overcome a organization that is dysfunctional from the top down. The fact that there is always so much talent makes it even worse because it pumps people up with false hope year after year. We know how pissed off Troy was during the second half of his career, Tony had that franchise his entire career. He sure was fun to watch though, those 8-8 teams were 3-13 teams without him.
Troy actually stated that was part of why he retired
Him and Danny White.
As an Eagles fan, I wouldn't even get mad when we lost to the Cowboys when Romo was there. That's just how likable he is.
Even though he never won a Super Bowl he still proved that he was a great teammate and a competitive hard worker one of my favorite players to ever live.
Romo was always a CHOKE when it counted. He is also unlistenable on TV. Calm down Tony, its just a bleeping game.
@@jaysantos536 shut it
Spoiled a good skit with all the ads...my god every few second Come out mad whats the point of watching. Lets quit this pos website.
Tony has that rare combination of humility, knowledge and likability. His presence adds to the experience of watching a game on TV.
This brought me to tears! I loved watching him play, but his broadcast analysis was even better! Love me some Tony Romo. A great place for unbroken ribs!
Romo was a great qb.. He had that Montana escape ability, Favre throwing power an could be very soft with his jump balls, i dont hold the botched extra point or the Dez catch against him! You win some an lose some, he made the game very thrilling an fun to watch with extraordinary plays an unbelievable to see!!! Feel he will be in hof either with Cowboys or as Commentator, this man breaths Football.. Much Love Tony⭐
Excuse me he was average QB
and couldn’t escape the pocket.He made right move leaving football getting banged up so many times!!!!
@@garywenzlaff6918 sounds like you are just a hater
@@garywenzlaff6918 watch my highlight video on him escaping sacks. The guy was not only great at it, but the best at escaping sacks. The fact that you said the greatest escape artist "couldn't escape" is the equivalent of saying Usain bolt was slow for an Olympian.
I couldn’t finish this knowing what happened in Tony’s Career, He was a great qb and deserved a chip.
Tony was such a huge part of my childhood. I feel really grateful to him as well as Witten and Bryant. Those guys really gave me a lot of good memories. I'll always love the Dallas Cowboys. Who knows what could've been in 2014? I think I can speak for every cowboys fan when I say that that game still haunts us.
Crazy how Romo's career really began with a start against the Seahawks in the preseason and then ended against the Seahawks in the preseason with that back injury.
Damn I never noticed that. Also the fact that he replaced an older QB despite not being the starter yet is what happened with Dak who was a 4th rounder and not expected to start for a while
@@Spongebrain97 i feel thats just gonna be a pattern. Dak may be in the same position and giving the job to the new qb
I would love to see him get in to Coaching!!! I think he would be great at developing young Quarterbacks. Dak hasn’t been the same since that first year when Tony was coaching him up from the sidelines!!
What a great man he was and is now to this day. I think people forget how lucky we were to have such a talented individual at that time putting his all into the game and that team. I will forever be grateful as a Cowboys fan for what he did on that field. He will forever be my quarterback on and off the field. Tony thank you for the memories and being a great role model for others, you sir have earned your spot as one of the Cowboys all time greats 🍻
I loved watching Romo play, he made me believe in the Cowboys again, he gave us hope when there was none!
He's such a talented and nice, genuine guy....we need more like him.
Yes you are right dear
Romo may not be the "greatest" quarterback of all time, or even the greatest Dallas quarterback, but he's my favorite. He's a big reason why I'm the die hard Cowboys fan I am today. My dad raised me to be a Dallas fan, but I was too young to remember Aikman's glory days. The period between Aikman and Romo was a disaster to watch. When Romo became the qb, Cowboys games were actually exciting to watch, and, as a young kid, that made me become a much bigger fan.
I still think they should have let him start over Dak when he was healthy.
Also, Dez caught it.
He carried the franchise for years. Was the only reason to watch them. And I have been a Cowboys fan for 45 years. He should have had been the starter when he came back. I think the experience would have helped the team do even better that year.
Completely agree, although being born in 79 and brought up as a Cowboys fan too I got to see the 90s Dynasty go from 1-15 Jimmy's first year to Super bowl Champs 4 years later and then 2 more Rings in 3 years. It was a great time to be a teenager and especially a Cowboys fan. But there was something different about Romo that made everything seem more fun to watch even though they didn't win Super Bowls. Anyway I'll believe to the day I die if they had given him his job back in 2016 they would have won it all that year. They had everything, just needed a veteran QB that the moment wouldn't be too big for and they had him but fell for the media pressure anyway. Also like you said Dez caught it!!! And that play remains the largest robbery in NFL history to this day.
Top 10 quarterback in his playing days. 2nd in MVP in 2014. Had a good career. Unfortunately his teams weren't very good. Defense was very below average for many years. Offense was consistently top 5 with him as QB. It was a pleasure watching him play. Thank you for all the memories #9
Top 10 SMH hell no he wasn't I watched those games man I started watching football in 06 when he started as a qb. So I have seen his entire career and nah.
That's BS he wasn't clutch when it counted, He did have a SUCCESSFUL career, left with his devices and a lot of money
@@soulrebel4life who would I put above him besides the usual suspects like payton eli rodgers Tom big ben drew rivers then who els Tony was good
@@dillonsparks115 Eli was not better than Romo
@@Memorex996 ik I was just throwing names for the fool to tell Me who els besides the normal qbs that are in the top 10 at that time ya know
It's crazy that I drive by his school almost everyday for work. To think Romo played where I work by is pretty cool to think.
I'm an Eagles fan. Man this dude was a badass, with all that my favorite NFL announcer.
Just an all around good dude. I’m so glad he’s done well. Those first few times in the booth were gold. When I watch football on Sunday now I’m always looking for Romo’s game.
Tony is a great guy, wonderful QB, has a great wife and family.
He's a true gem, love him in the booth.
Yeah he was great at throwing interceptions the guy was a joke and the idiots back him up.
@@rickhammond2473 oh Jesus man if I remember right Tony had no run game for most of his career and he has to throw so much he's gonna throw int every qb does
@@dillonsparks115 Not true Montana was not a runner,Staubach was not a runner Troy Aikman was not a runner.Bradshaw,Brady not a runner.
@@rickhammond2473 He's not talking about Romo's running prowess. He's talking about the Cowboys not having a rushing game for the majority of his career. As far as interceptions go, Tony Romo career interception rate is 2.7%. Montana - 2.6%. Staubach - 3.7%. Bradshaw was slightly over 5%. Romo is below the NFL career average of HOF QBs when it comes to interception rates.
@@mattf2146 Big deal how many super bowls did he win?
I'm a Patriots fan. When I noticed how I loved Romo calling a game. Is when the Pats vs Chiefs AFC Championship game. He was predicting Brady's plays, and he was right! And Brady cannot be predicted, by anyone on the field. It's a very rare talent to have. Romo is respected, and I'm glad he's calling our NFL games. 🙏 💯🏈
Remember him being that guy that the "Big Tuna was betting on" to now. What a career. Grats Romo!
Wow that lovely
"I feel like we all have 2 battles: One with the man across from you & the second is with the man inside of you & I think once you control the one inside of you, the one across from you really doesn't matter.".
--Tony Romo, late-2016.
The most underrated QB in NFL History 💯
Honestly he probably is. His numbers are excellent! He has one of the highest 4th qtr ratings of all time too. I also believe he is top 10 all time in rating. Atleast he was when he retired!
@user-nz2qs9ik2k Facts. I honestly think he was done dirty in that 2014 playoff game. Just a terrible way to end a great career
Missing these Tony romo days……WE knew if he was on the field …WE had a chance to WIN
Yeah just don't let him hold for the field goal. lol
I'd take Romo over Dak any day now. Dak is not consistent, inaccurate, does not have eyes down the field, and doesn't make clutch throws.
That’s how I compare the Romo days to the Dak days. When Dak and the boys are having an off game it feels like there is no shot at a W. With Romo on the field it felt like no matter what we were gonna be in a position to win the thing.
@@dominance5520 I hear you. With Tony, I had better peace of mind no matter what happened. He threw with confidence that you wanna see with your franchise qb
Romo always kept his eyes downfield that's what you have to do to be a great qb. He tried to force alot because he had trust in his receivers he didn't care about his stats. He wanted to win that's the difference between him and Dak. Dak has to rely on his stats against awful teams to disguise the fact that he's AWFUL Romo would stand toe.to toe with undefeated teams. Dak can only beat losing teams daks a bum and it's sad that his contract is going to ruin the cowboys for years to come. That bum belongs in the trash Romo for life
