People talk about how Drew Brees was a second round pick, Russell Wilson a third rounder and of course Brady going all the way down to the 6th round. Well don’t forget, Tony was undrafted and turned into a 10 year franchise QB in the NFL.
and what do all 3 have that Romo dont...Superbowl wins...hell he didnt get to an conference championship game...so dont compare him to those players...he was a great QB...but not elite
Michael Ramirez still impressive though it’s probably the most positive outlook you could see from a undrafted QB
Michael Ramirez - You’re right, he’s not in that elite group with Joe Flacco, Jeff Hostedler, Nick Foles, Doug Williams, Mark Rypen, Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer. He’s in the non elite group with Marino, Kelly, Tarkington, Fouts, Warren Moon....Except all those guys were drafted.
Sadly, it takes a team to win a Super Bowl.
Where does that leave Carson Wentz? He’s got a Super Bowl ring but he didn’t actually play in the game. Foles jumped in, won the playoff games and was Super Bowl MVP. Is he elite?
Basing a career on a Super Bowl is pretty short sided. If somebody could have done more with that Cowboys team, they had 10 years to find him.
@@sloebone7399 yuppers and an owner who doesnt wanna have his face on camera...or his head up his ass
It is sad how many people disrespected this man while he played. He always put up great numbers and battled through horrific injuries to play.
How many rings?
Micah Johnson Boxing imagine thinking that between a 53 man roster, coaching staff, and management... it’s completely on one player. You’re a casual.
DANIEL MOLLOY Romo did his job. Coaches and management didn’t.
Playing the Cowboys will do that for you
Tell Dak I said hi & bye- primetime
That Romo speech when the keys to the realm were given to Dak was a moment I'll never forget. Tony Romo will always have my respect!
One of the most composed & perfectly scripted speeches I’ve ever heard.
that speech was important. at that time romo was healed up but they didnt want to pull dak because of the run they were on. the weeks leading up to it all anyone was talking about was "if romo's healthy why isnt he starting?" and no one from dallas was saying a word. romo took it upon himself to basically say hey its daks team now.
All that shit he said was full of hot ass air, Romo wanted his job but seen it was over so he did what all do lie
Same
Then Tony, stepped back in for one more 80 yard touchdown drive, against Philadelphia, just to show fans he could still get it done.

Romo was tuff. He was really tuff. That is way overlooked by a lot of people.
Very tough.
Only by idiots.
Tony was an awesome QB hes one of the players I was most disappointed in their retirement because I thought he never got to fully prove how great he was. Healthy he would've been in some super bowls and a lock hall of famer.
@@juju-vl7oj let him go back to starter in 2016 we win the SB. He was matured enough, careful without being scared. He would sacrifice himself to make a play. Hell was it 2015 he put that spin mnove on JJ Watt coming off the blindside.....i swear i heard him say "whoooooop" when he spun past JJ to throw a 40 yd td. he was a backup at my first ever game was 06 pre season and i knew then he was special
ben No we don’t, we put up 31 points but our defense failed us once again. Romo might not have even been able to finish the game. I loved him but he was fragile at that point
Tony is a Warrior, all the crap that was thrown at him was pathetic..
Junior D Amen, and he never had a defense. Was always having to put up 30+ points a game. I wish we could’ve seen the 2016 roster with him instead of rookie, Dak....and that’s nothing against Dak.
Yeah. Always wondered what might have been if he was given that chance.
Harupert Beagleton Yeah dude. I wanted him back in when he got healthy. That playoff game against the Packers...we come up short by 3 points. If Tony had been in, we win that game and advance. I’ll go to my grave saying and knowing that. Who knows what that 2016 team could’ve done....but they definitely would’ve advanced to the NFC Title game.
Look I love TR9 as much as all of you but if he deserved the job, he would have proven it on the field in prior seasons & not be dependent on the current situation (Dak 2016).
thistoob Whoooooooa whooooa man. Hold fast. Let’s get some things straight. First of all, the reason they didn’t let Tony back in is simply because they didn’t wanna mess up a good thing and tanker with the Hot streak that the team was on. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. They had won 8 straight games and they didn’t wanna change anything. Which is the correct move. Romo then asked for the chance to compete for his job and they told him No. why?? Cause they KNEW Tony would’ve absolutely earned the job back but they feared it would cause a ripple in the locker room. Lastly, let’s face facts. Dak was able to shine in 2016 because of Zeke. Point blank period. Imagine if there had been No Zeke....think about that. Nothing against Dak. Just facts.
As a Cowboys fan that organization really wasted Tony's prime and a lot of other players prime.
Amen to this!
Sadly ....i hope it doesnt waste dak’s either
@Esai Sosa Daks not that good.. its the good players around him that will be wasting their talents playing under that organization
@@kingbranch5456 you can win a super bowl with a no elite qb with a good defensive squad example the Ravens with Flacco and the Bucs with Dilfer on the offensive side of the ball there were not laced with all pro guys
Jerry already made it clear how he feels about Dak. Treating him like a running back. He’ll be on a new squad next year sadly. Meanwhile jerry will probably draft Clayton jones next draft.
I really don't understand how anyone can hate on this guy
Ummm... maybe because hes good looking, has a sexy wife, rich, played in NFL, i mean, need i say more? Lol.
Jealousy is real
@@nicklrrueckert
🙄
Suck BS,
Did he play defense, special teams draft players, wasted cap space on useless players, waste great draft picks on stupid trades, NO.
Jerry Jones wasted his career and screwed him over because he could have won at least a couple of Superbowls.
They said the same thing about Peyton Manning, he had the same problem as Romo.
So shut your ignorant ass up since you obviously don't know anything about football.
@@nicklrrueckert the numbers say he was clutch... as for the fans, he didn't play in Philly
Simply the fact that he was a cowboy lol I hate every cowboy player sns
Tony carried that team for his entire career period.
Didnt yall make and win the playoffs 😂😂😂😂 carried em for top 5 picks
Tony is so humble. The way he downplayed his injuries and said, “everyone plays through a lot.” He’s such a selfless standup guy.
Nobody showed the true spirit of being a Dallas Cowboy more than Tony Romo. He may not have won a super bowl but he fought through everything he went through with the highest level of class. Every mistake he made he learned from and every injury he got he came back a stronger man. Watching him make that last touchdown drive against Philly will always be my favorite “last dance” moment in sports. He did everything he could for the team and sacrificed injury so many times just to keep on going for the team. Proud to have grown up watching him play regardless of what people may want to say about his career
I just wish he could have won Dallas and himself a Super bowl. He was such a freaking warrior!
Jordan S no he was terrible at that lol he lost us a playoff game like that smh
The Cowboys lost their holder and Romo had some experience from college. Nobody else wanted to do it so Tony stepped up to help the team. He didn’t have thousands of reps with the field goal unit and he blew it at the worst time, but he really shouldn’t have been in there in the first place. That play has nothing to do with playing quarterback.
He was hitting Jessica Simpson at the time so it wasn't a total loss
@@albertoh1753 r/wooosh
Sloe Bone thank you!! I’ve been saying that from day 1!
With #9 under center you always knew there was chance of a comeback of a lifetime. You carried us for so many years. You always had me on the edge of my seat going into the 4th quarter. I wouldn't trade those years for anything.
You were a warrior then you're a warrior now. Much success in the booth at CBS. It's a joy to hear be excited calling the games.
#9Forever
Comeback to 8-8. Good thing he choked so my giants could make that super bowl run
Hey Hayes apparently you just like to pick and choose what limited knowledge you have.
He leads in the most 4th qtr comebacks! Go back and watch the games again so maybe you’ll have more knowledge than you do!!
Jackass Dick keep this same energy
Those teams as a whole made us 8-8 you think we was really was gonna win Jason Garrett
If only Romo still had Bill Parcels throughout those years.
Jose Garcia They likely win the Super Bowl in 2007 as they would have had the one thing they lacked in that 13-3 season.... Discipline. The Wade Phillips teams lacked Discipline because Wade was a players coach.
More like sean payton
I agree.. parcels built those teams... if only he could e stayed on another year or 2 and passed it on to Payton.. the Tony Romo story may have ended in a different way.. never understood ppls disrespect for him.. he was tiff as nails never say die kinda player but he always left you feeling let down like he could been more.. the one game that completely embodies Tony Romos career is the Dallas Denver Broncos game in 2013 against manning...Romo goes toe toe with him and outplayed him the whole game.. they get the ball back with 2:00 in the 4th to win the game and what does Romo do?? Dodges a defender and throws a game clinching pick ... Tony Romos Career in a nutshell right there.. I respect his toughness but he never could get us where we needed for a variety of reasons..
Or a defense.
If Bill Parcels stuck around, Dallas wins at least one ring with Romo.
The Cowboys wasted this man prime. Got an elite offensive line after he was already broken up smh
RoRo On The GoGo cowboys defense sucked when romo was playing
Isaiah The Goat not like they’re any good now
Jimbo Thompson our defense suckssssss
Just like Andrew Luck and Ryan Grigson
Hey it's Max huh
Tony Romo is a class act through and through. His parents should be very, very proud of the amazing man he is. He will always be one of my favorite NFL QB's of all time.
Tony Romo is a class act. I love that man. My favorite Quarterback of all-time. I love Dak too, but Tony, man...
Jerry Jones ruined his career
And never had faith in Dak.
Tony should of became a Redskin but the Ahole Jerry wouldn't release him so he retired the day before free agency opened.
JERRY " We'd have to play Tony and he'd shatter Dak's confidence"
What a owner
Aikman doesn't get consideration??
@@Redpill_to_MGTOW I was born in '92, so I don't remember too much during his reign.
I haven’t missed a Cowboys game since like 2005 when I was 9-10 years old and I’ll tell you Tony was more talented overall. More consistently accurate, also felt like before each drive “something magical” was going to happen with Tony at the helm. With Dak it usually feels like “we might score we might not” like it’s more of a grounded feeling with Dak almost doubt. I like most Cowboy fans miss Tony and we were all a prisoner of the moment in 2016 when our team as a whole was having much success (I believe we started 10-1 or 11-1) that we forgot who we built our team around in the 1st place. I wish you the best Tony!
Bad ownership and coaches. During Garrett's entire time as head coach, the Cowboys had the most Pro Bowlers and All- Pros in the league. Never got to one conference championship.
Roy Hoequist he had 3 coaches, 6 different running backs, inconsistent WRs who were on their last leg, some of the worst defenses, subpar offenses, etc.
Romo appeared in only 6 playoff games and won 2 of em. Someday Dallas fans will let that sink in.
Romo seems so down, almost depressed, in this interview.
I hope he’s ok and peace with how his playing career ended. He had a great run and should be really proud of what he accomplished as QB of America’s team.
Don Ford would you be happy if someone came and replaced you in something you love to do? Of course he’s down.
I think he’s down about the fact that the season he feels like he’s got it together, it gets taken away with injuries and circumstances. Being injured my junior year I was mentally and physically ready for my senior year to prove to myself that I was built for the game. Unfortunately I tore my cartilage out of my knee before the season even got started and never got my answer. I’m thankful my education got me far in life but almost every day I think “what if I played my senior year.” To be honest it still bothers me looking back but I relate as in “things happen for a reason.” And being thankful that you have your health and found a new career that you enjoy. Such as Romo finding a new passion for sports commentary. I think he’s down but I think he’s at peace with it at the same time. It’s not what you may have wanted but new opportunities come for you to thrive elsewhere...
What exactly did he accomplish?
@@StarKing0312 he was a starting nfl quarterback for the most prestigious team in all professional sports. That's more then anyone will accomplish that's commenting on here.
Riley Kading I agree with everything that you said, however I respectfully disagree that they are America's most prestigious team.
I think Jerry Jones has done enough damage over the last 25 years to tarnish the brand. In terms of prestige, it Has to be the patriots. The statistics speak for themselves
He's still hurt from the way things ended. You can tell.
Who wouldn’t be?
@@mvrmvp Someone who didn't care enough about the team they were on
Jon Dorsey that had nothing to do with how he felt about his playing days and how dirty he got done!
Yes u can tell, u can hear it in his voice and facial expressions
Because Jerry fked his career up.
He wouldn't trade him are release him ..Washington and Houston were negotiating hard for willing to buy his contract.
The sorry owner said " we'd have to face him and i don't think it would end well for us"
Another statement he said ' Tony could ruin Dak's confidence"
He screwed over Tony and replaced with a QB he never had confidence in.
I can not stand JJ
I like his commentary in games. Haven’t felt like that about football since John Madden was with Pat Summerall.
Who’s here after Dak hurt his ankle
Owen Caulfield hope it’s just a cramp
@@JoshThewhiteDad he's out for the season lol. its not a cramp
@@elastictricks5219 he was joking lol Romo was a commentator and said “you gotta hope it’s just a cramp”
I miss Tony man. If he was still here today we’d have multiple Super Bowls without a doubt. Dude slung the ball, made throws that were jaw dropping and left it on the field. Only true fans know.
Lmao yes he was good but multiple Super Bowls 😂
I wouldn't say multiple, but with him and the way this team is playing on both sides of the ball and special teams this year...I belive it would have happened.
I never doubted him through out his career. He was always my QB since day 1 and I always thought he was the best QB. I never wanted him to loose his starting job much less stop playing. He was an incredible player but he is a better person.
Who else remembers how great he was at scrambling, unfortunately for his life but he was great at making defenders miss or lose grip on Romo as he graced us with his footloose skills! Much respect to Romo and that’s coming from a Ravens fan!!
Yeah most people remember romo as a stand in the pocket qb but there was a time when he was one of the most elusive QB’s in the pocket
Tony is forever in the hearts of us cowboys fans, DC4L!
Tony gave his all to the Cowboys that’s why I love this dude, don’t like how things ended for him. He deserved better
Will always be one of my favorite players, glad he is killing it in the booth.
Romo wasn't the greatest QB of all time, but he was the most underrated.
@American boi his D would allow 30 ppg of course he gotta take risks to try and bring them back. If he had a legit D he'd have at least one SB
@@jffuturisticc1066 had way more 4th qaurter game winning drives than many of the qbs you considered clutch
Ms Sports people only remember the seattle game, he has an average 122.5 passer rating under 5 minutes to go in the 4th while trailing, thats clutch
@@sh100sh2 exactly
@J H also had one of the worst o-lines and defences for over half of his career and nearly beat the Aaron Rodgers led packers until his RB fumbled the game away and Dez dropped the ball. Not everything is his fault my guy
Seems like a humble man
I just cannot listen to Romo talk about the Thing. I feel the Hurt and the Sadness in His Voice and I find myself feeling that instance of Lost!! Romo was the Ultimate Team Player, And I will Forever Be Satisfied that I got to see Him PLAY, The Awesomeness of His Competitiveness, My QB in my TO voice. How can I not think of Little Texas's song: "What might Have Been" with Romo, Zeke and finally a Health O-Line and a top 10 Defense. Football came to a Halt the Day #09(#1 in my Book) left the Game. Antonio Ramirez Romo...Im Happy knowing You and your family are getting to enjoy your time together. I Miss You on the Field, Sorry I got spoiled watching and hoping that 2016 would be the Year, We finally get another shot at a Superbowl for You and Witten. Greetings from Salem Oregon.
Vincent Martin Simp
Thats my Quarterback 😢😢
I'm not a cowboy's fan but this dude could be a motivational speaker. Has to be my favorite game announcer.
Man I forgot about that speech Romo gave to the media, this was a trip down memory lane. Class act. 💯
Class act
Character plus
Wisdom , strength, love....
Romo epitomized true sportsmanship in his voncession speech.
I remember the powerful words he said in that discourse
"......i know I'm leaving this team is the best hands....."
That took courage and integrity
Graham Bensinger: The best and most professional interviewer in the sports world. He asks great questions and lets the interviewee talk and he doesn't interrupt their train of thought.
Tony is the best commentators in the NFL. He explains things like for ppl who don't understand all the rules and he makes it exciting! I luv him the bestest!!!!
Love this man. He’s such a class act. He never gave us fans a Super Bowl win, but I wouldn’t change a thing about this guy. We were blessed to have him for so many years and yes, some really exciting wins. Thanks Tony!
Tony Romo is my all time favorite athlete. Seems so down to earth, humble, appreciative of every blessings in his life. His speech is forever engraved in my heart and mind. Helps my perspective on life and I’ve always believed and lived that way as well. It’s good to see your iconic sports figure share similar morale qualities. Lessons for my future children for sure and my current boy who is 9. Thanks for the memories, Tony!
“I love my quarterback” one of my favorite QBs ever
That’s my qb 😢 so many haters on and off the team things just didn’t go your our way it happens
You are one our truly great Dallss Cowboy QBs Tony!!!! Hope to see you in Ring of Honor and NFL HOF!!!!!!
Naturally didn’t like Romo cuz he was a Cowboy only cuz I’m a Giants fan, but as a person never disliked him. I like him even more as a commentator.
Much respect!
I know the Cowboys beat the Giants the last 5 times that Tony Romo played.
Even after he landed the huge TV contract I still feel bad for him. Football meant alot to him and that hurt. Glad things are going well for him. Great QB and a great person.
A class act. Thanks for all of the thrills, wins and amazing come backs Tony, you will always be a great Cowboy!
Romo was a true master of the hurry up offence. You don't see anybody do it like him anymore. He's one of the best to ever do it, I'm glad I got to watch him when I could.
loved this guy. wish dez ,written ,and romo all won a ring together on the same team
Tony always seems to have a smile on his face. At one point he was a heck of a hoops player too. Best wishes in the future Tony. From a fellow EIU alum who saw him play as a Senior...
This is honestly super wholesome and awesome insight. Good to remember that these guys are just as human as the rest of us when it comes to these types of things and this is an awesome story to me personally
Class act. And gets nothing but shit from people who don't know anything about football.
This is the interview that we didn't know we needed💯
I really think Romo will get in the HOF, not just from football but his Broadcasting also.
Graham you put up some really solid content/interview I really enjoy these and keep being yourself
You can tell this was still a very emotional topic for Tony. Ones of my favorite Cowboy players of all time just because of his attitude and outlook on life. I really hope he coaches one day I think he would be an amazing coach.
Tony Romo was a far better QB than Dak will ever be
Deserves the HOF. Dez's catch that "wasn't" was Tony's best chance to get to the Superbowl. Tony, Dez, Whitten all deserved a championship.
I can't say HOF unless there are 2 HOFs. 1 for the regular season, a JV... and another for whole career, Varsity. He would make the JV HOF therefore... No.
Not HoF my dude
Ryan Irwin- Diehl he went undeafted and carried a franchise for 10 years if he had a good coach he’d have won multiple Super Bowls, the best Dallas qb by stats and staubach and aikmen made the HOF so should romo
@@donovansolis8889 He was great for being undrafted. He should be in the undrafted HOF, but not at Canton.
Mr Ron he should definitely be at canyton if Eli gets in
Amen man! Good interview. Humble and thankful to God.🙏
T talking bout the gift of life and raising vibratio is inspiring...
My favorite QB 😭😭 HATED WHEN DAK TOOK HIS SPOT !! People hated on Tony but man i seen his greatness 💯💪
Always remember that it could've been Johnny Manziel post romo
Pablo Ramos
What really irritates me the most about football are the negative comments - all the haters. Lately, the Dallas Cowboys QB'S have been having to put up with too much crap. Tony, we enjoyed watching you very much. You were great in football no matter what. People are going to always mouth off about something which is STUPID. Everyone, you know who you are. Don't worry, you carried the team the best you could being in great pain with injuries. The haters don't know nothing about football. You were a warrior.
😩😩My Dude Finally Got The Perfect Pieces On Offense & To Hurt His Back In A Meaningless PreSeason Game Breaks My Heart.....He Really Left It All Out On The Field...
Greatest Cowboy QBEver🎯🤧
Had The Weakest Head Coach In NFL History With Teams In Great Position To Win Or Make A Run 4 Da Chip😒
The First year he had a decent team around him we almost beat Green Bay in the playoffs (fuck those refs it was definitely a catch)
Was not a big Romo fan…until he entered the booth! Great interview, awesome introspective. Great example of humility
He was a true warrior... nothing but respect to Tony Romo...Go Cowboys!!!
If this man played with anything other than a star on his helmet, he would have been far more respected. Once he was gone is when I heard people give credit where credit is due. I guess better late than never but man it hurt seeing how he was treated. Even by Cowboys fans themselves, time over time I heard them talk badly of him, it hurt to hear those people talk about him like that. Once he was gone everyone switched up. He is up there for players who most deserve a superbowl that never got one. Thank you Tony for making me love the game of football. I loved watching you be a great QB and now it's great hearing you be a great announcer. I know some day you'll be a great coach and I can't wait to root for you then.
Worst decision JJ made was benching this dude in 2016 with a SB team. Because an unproven rookie was carried by a stacked team
Soccercrazyigboman yep!
Absolutely agree I think with Romo at quarterback we win the Superbowl in 2016
I haven't been able to watch the Cowboys after how they treated you and Dez. You were the goat Tony. I watched you from the beginning man and you were always an inspiration. I miss you man, football isn't the same without you.
The Cowboys in the late 2000s put on some the most rememberable games! Romos 4th Quarter comebacks were the best. Such a guys guy. Glad to see he’s doing so well in retirement.
That’s my quarterback 😭💔
Nothing but respect for this legend, but I feel like he didn't answer any of the questions here 😄
I love his positive attitude about all the good in his lifetime and not focusing on the negative. Great perspective.
So proud of the example Tony was and still is. He handles himself like a real man and I’m glad all the kids around the nation got to witness his story. He’ll probably never know the great impact he has had on my grandson.
Love ya romo DC4L
My favorite football player of all time. He is a future HoFer as he elevated the field as a undrafted Free agent. Always a top 10 QB and Jerry couldn't put the right pieces around him.
Zaviar Williams he’s not a future HOFer. I wish he was, but he isn’t getting.
Zaviar Williams hell no you do kno he only won 1 playoff game right ???
@@ccae07 he has 2 and he will make it. Playoff success isnt thebonly way to make it
@@thatnativeking1333 he is, just not a first Ballot
@@thatnativeking1333 he has one of the highest qbr of all time
Much respect for Romo, always been a fan even after all the ups and downs. Love you brother.
Dude cared about his team more than anything! You see it in his face and hear it in his voice. Dude loved football, and more than that, the Cowboys! Romo always be number 1 to me! Those romo and dez touchdowns I’ll never forget
I'm no a Cowboys fan but I never understood why people hated him so much. An undrafted FA that threw for 34,000 yards in 10 seasons, 8 if you subtract the games he missed due to injuries, with no one other than Jason Witten and Demarcus Ware on the team with Terrell Owens for 3 seasons.
People only remember two games about Romo: Seahawks fumble and Giants Divisional Round Int. He was always top 3-5 in stats vs Prime Rodgers, Brady, Manning and Brees! He’s never had a defense ranked lower than 15, Demarcus Ware was only one player. If Romo didn’t score 30+ they would lose. In my opinion, he’s a great quarterback, maybe not one of the greats because he never got that moment which he was robbed of when Dez caught it.
FACTS
Not to mention being given no O-Line help for most of his career. He was running for his life on every snap. Most underrated and underappreciated qb ever.
So many people like to overlook the fact that there was still 4 MINUTES on the clock when that play happened. Aaron Rodgers would’ve driven that team down the field and scored anyway.
@@sebastiandiego5905 The way the defense was playing that day, it's hard to argue with you. Doesn't change the fact that they got screwed, though.
@@michaelbiscay9836 sure but its the way most of y'all talk about that play like it was in the final seconds of the game. It wasn't and you guys couldn't get off the field on defense.
Incredible man. Tony is one of my all time favorites.
Romo was a tough sob ! That gets over looked and he had major heart ! Huge cowboys/romo fan!
I miss this Fn guy #RacineWisconsinInTheHouse
It’s true Romo was at his peak when he retired but his body wouldn’t let him compete.. it’s sad I believe if Romo was with us in 2016 healthy an 2018 we would of probably been in super bowl bc he was starting to figure it all out an his play calling on tv shows it
Class Act!! Job well done Tony. Miss seeing you play on Sundays.
So i grew up in Chicago and have been a life long Bears fan. But I went to EIU which is a state school in Central IL and for it's size has over achieved in terms of NFL players and coaches including Tony Romo. But what I LOVED about Tony is he had such a passion for the game, and not too many player then or now can match that passion!
Tony Romo has to be one of the best QB’s in the league without winning a SB.
AlphaOne - facts and he’s one of the best commentators I’ve heard
cliffton dorroh 💯
kinda like dan marino ?
they wasted romo s talents
Scott Nicholas no, he didn’t! Stabauch and Aikman both said if Romo had their teams Romo would have a SB wins!!
Aikman even went as far to say Romo was a better QB, but I guess you know more than they do!!
Warrior straight up when we were finally all put together he was injured that shit broke my heart
He has such great perspective on life, a lot of athletes who had their careers end by injury feel cheated and like they’re somehow unlucky when in reality, they have it much better than 99.999 percent of people in the world
This man had to take an epidural just to play. I love Dak but Romo was the epitome of tough....
Jay Jackson
ThEy are both tough there is no “ but” dak just hadn’t gotten injured because of his build and attributes
Romo was a great QB, unfortunately he played for my Dallas Cowboys.
Elmer Garcia romo was a *mediocre* qb that played for the cowgirls.. fixed for ya
@@glotorious_3119 Based on stats, he was a great QB . He just couldn't win big games and that's what matters.
@@fishboy1424 Ha, sounds familiar. Dak is a better prototype NFL system QB, but Romo had that big play spark that Dak can't seem to generate when it counts. Neither are perfect, but I think a prime, healthy Tony gets them further than Dak has the last couple seasons. Dak made everyone think he's "that guy", which is why he kept the job. He hasn't panned out quite up to expectations, which is why he's not signed yet.
@@garybeltrand5802 I couldn't find the lie in your statement.
I wished he got traded away several times for his own sake. He was capable of more than what Jerry put on the field.
You were absolutely one of the best Romo! You and Witten would have several rings with a complete team for sure..
Tony is a BEAST! To perform the way he did with all the injuries he's had....smh.....nothing but grit in this dude!
It’s ok cbs is taking care of him. I think he got the last laugh out of this. :)
My brothers grandkid looks like a little Romo. When he was little we found a kid sized helmet and when he put it on he was Romo 2009.
Its a blessing to have had Tony for years and now Dak and they are two of the best players but most of all best all around people ever, I love them as players and men.
Respect to Tony. If I ever get an opportunity to meet him, I will let him know he is class act and that I cheered for him from day one.
Football and especially the Dallas Cowboys owe him a lot
Tony "Sweatiest Pits in the Game" Romo
Someone had to say it
I was waiting for it
I was gunna say it lol
Lmao
" show Dick some respect "
I will always have an immense amount of respect for Tony Romo! Class act!
One love Romo
🙏🏽🤞🏽 we know you gave it everything 💯
I will go to my grave knowing that if Tony Romo was given his job back in 2016, the Cowboys would’ve been Super Bowl Champions.
Totally agree
Keep dreaming
100%
He would have gotten hurt again. Just like when he came back from his clavicle break and broke it immediately. Then he comes back and breaks his back. They didn’t even mention his broken pinky in this interview.
I don't think so. Jason Garrett was still the coach, and there was an incredibly dominant Patriots team in the Super Bowl.
You could tell by how he spoke that he really wanted to bring a Super Bowl but his body let him down .
Tony's not only a great quarterback, he's a smart, great human being.
First I heard him speak. Never watched him play. Appreciate his outlook
