Yeah romo was good he was a top 5 Qb in my opinion for a lot of his career but got over looked due to poor defense and o line play. Used to drive me crazy when the fans would trash him
Yup from 2010-2013 that defense averaged 27th-28th a year and that o line was barely rebuilding. That oline wasn’t complete until Zack Martin got drafted in 2014.
As a massive fan of Romo, this video was really well done and a fair and balanced take on Romo and his Cowboys teams. For many of his seasons he was arguably the only reason the team even had a chance to be 8-8. And he got blamed for their lack of success and overall failure. Romo was always a good enough QB to win a Super Bowl but he never had the best team around him to get it done.
2014 Romo was my favorite season to watch probably ever. I loved Dak last year and in 2016 but man I thought Romo in 14 was truly something special to be witnessing. For my money he is the best QB to wear the star on his helmet
Dude was the greatest QB that got LITERALLY NO HELP until he was already injured and worn out. We got our line sporadically as he played but for his first 3 full starting seasons he had Andre Gurode (prolly misspelled that) and like nobody else. We had years where we could have built up our line faster but Jerry went with the "we draft our players" approach and by the time Frederick, Martin and Smith were in Romo had already broken his back once. He had NO room for rookie errors or learning curves with his OL, they expected that with TO and Witten he should be able to make a deep playoff run but we all know it takes way more than 2 offensive threats to spur a winning season. I watched Romo extend 100s of plays for positive yardage, had horrible recievers other than the obvious (TO, Bryant, and even Cole Beasley) He had guys that no sleight to them were literal nobody's by the time they got here. Patrick Crayton had some great plays but also some blown plays that really hurt us. All in all, Tony gave us everything he had every single season. Yes, there were interceptions and losses that were hard to watch/bear but those games where he made me go "WTF DID HE JUST DO" were amazing, and why Tony will always be my 2nd favorite Cowboys QB all time!! #DemBoyz
Loved Tony Romo. Never did i believe the Cowboys were out of a game during his career, bar a few blow outs. Even my best friend long suffering as well only far worse than me being a Washington fan loved watching the Cowboys during this era, and every time the Cowboys were on any of that weeks 5 live games we get in the UK, regardless of Redskins being involved or playing same Sunday night I could see he was actually rooting for romo and the Cowboys, something ive found myself doing for Washington more out of pity and my friends depression at there never ending QB issues. If you hold all the Cowboys franchise records you are certainly one of the best. The lack of a ring will cost him any HOF contention when many far lesser QBs will have that Gold jacket.
It’s easy to think of his cowboys as a “failure” because that team and your Steelers have a long history of winning titles. Combine that with Dallas marketing its team more than any in the nfl and many people forget Romo, an undrafted QB, had more success than most first round QBs ever had. Idk for certain if he had the exact same results with a team like the Steelers and 49ers as he did with the Cowboys if his career would have a better reception, but I like to think the media would’ve been kinder to him.
It’s funny because even tho he still had a chance to undo it I feel like Brock purdy is becoming our eras Tony romo . Kinda plays like him too . Never given enough credit when things are going well and given extra shit when it’s not or they lose .
If you could take the experience and mental aspects of the game that 2013-2015 Romo had gained and implant them into 2006 Romo’s body you’d have one of the best QBs of all time. Romo had really figured the game out those last few seasons and was playing masterfully, it’s just a shame his body began to break down at that point and he became riddled with injuries.

#DezCaughtIt but man I miss the Romo days... Win or loss it was exciting football. But it sucks that he never made it all the way because he deserved it. And he'll never get his credit because of that.
@@robogreek3157 💯 he did things that astonished me on a consistent basis. He got a lot of blame he didn't deserve, and a little bit that he did, but he was one of the greatest of all time when he retired imo. The injuries and other bad luck just ruined what should be a Hall of Fame career but probably won't be because of the narrative
There was no greater experience in my life than listening to people explain to me how an UNDRAFTED PLAYER was “overrated” He dragged that crappy team with a sieve of a defense AND O line across the finish line for years. I’m still angry about it. He was never appreciated (especially by Cowboys fans) and got jobbed at the end.
I always hated the people that criticize any QB for an INT on the last play of the game or on 4th down and long. At that point in a game there is no decision to be made, the ball has to go to the 1st down marker or the endzone and what happens happens. That os my biggest criticism of Prescott, he doesnt put the ball in the endzone with the game on the line, while Romo almost always did whether it worked out or not
As a Steelers fan whose dad grew up during the Steel Curtain era, the Cowboys were naturally hated in my house, and Romo had a nickname you can probably guess. Tony got too much hate, he was a solid QB but his team never had enough pieces. That week 14 game in 2008 is still one of my favorite games.
I remember being one of Romo’s biggest fans in school, and tied for biggest at home with my brother. Romo was my favorite and still is, my favorite QB. I like Dak, but it broke my heart when Romo was essentially replaced. He wasn’t a perfect QB, but there were plenty of seasons where Dallas should’ve been a terrible team but Romo kept them in the race at the end for better or worse. Thank you for putting some respect on my favorite Cowboys player’s name.
Only Jerry Jones could manage to waste a team with a prime Romo, Dez, T Smith, Z Martin, T Frederick, Ezekiel Elliot (and mess up Dak’s development as a QB for his first 4 career years) by keeping Jason Garrett that long.
bruh you have dak. y'all ain't going nowhere. pray to God for Jerry to find a solution to pay dak 50 mil, max for parson, and ceedee....that's only 3 players that will take 80% of the cap. jerry is so demented it infects the dumb fans like you
I think we may have gotten a Romo championship if the refs called the Dez catch correctly up at Green Bay. They actually had a good team that year and the running game was elite.
@@charlottecorday8494 did you not watch the video???? His game winning drives? His 4th quarter comebacks? You’re insane to say he’s not a winner. Hard to fucking win when you have a defense that allows 40 points a game
@@charlottecorday8494 also the fact that you said Eli had fearlessness shows you don’t know lol 😂 Eli was carried by his giants defense he absolutely sucked those years
Growing up in this era of football was so fun the 2000s have some good memories with all the players I like (good and bad lol) also damn I didn’t know he played for so long
I grew up in a family that was divided into a Cowboys side and a Giants side, so Romo was always a highly debated subject among family members. I always thought he was good, he just lacked the clutch gene that guys like Eli or Rodgers had. He’s a great story and those cowboys teams were always fun to watch and root against.
There’s no telling how far the cowboys would have went if Parcells did not leave. Parcells had what was the beginning of a possible dynasty building. Then Jerry had to be Jerry and push him into retirement. All so he could hire yes man wade phillips. I honestly think he did this once he figured Parcells had enough pieces in place. So that way if they won the Super Bowl, he could take the credit. He never did like Jimmy Johnson getting the credit for building a team and winning. So he let Bill do the building, and thought bumbling wade could just come in and win based on the team’s talent. Remember what Jerry said about Jimmy Johnson’s cowboys “there are 500 coaches that could win the Super Bowl with this team.” Boy was he wrong then. And wrong again with wade. Phillips (who btw was a great defensive coordinator) was a disaster as head coach. The cowboys had a 13 and 3 record despite Wade Phillips and co. Thanks Jerry for blowing what could have been a Super Bowl winning team. All to stroke his own ego
Found this channel today while at work looking for background stuff to play. Looking forward to listening and hopefully subscribing shortly! Typing this as the intro plays, I have a great feeling about your channel! Long time falcons fan here
It actually was only 1 preseason game for romo that final year....that preseason game against Seattle was his first appearance since the injury the previous year and he basically got hurt within a few plays into his return
Tony Romo would have been an extremely loved QB, if he didn’t have that Star on his helmet. Seems like Dak Prescott is going through the same treatment
Dak Prescott doesn’t win as much with more tools and a better defense. I am a young millennial as in born the last year a millennial is born on and Dallas has been my favorite football team my entire life. Tony Romo had offensive battles with some of the greatest QB of their time with Super Bowl wins on their belt. Quite frankly, the defense created situations Tony Romo had to put everything on the line. Since 2016 I’ve know about Romo having the most amount of games won off a 4th Q comeback. The o-line didn’t really finish being drafted til what 2012/2013. Truly whenever Zack Martin was drafted. I could get a sack on the defense in 2010 and I was a child.
@@KJ.Cboyz2001 Dak's had a great Offensive line every year, a decent defense every year, Zeke for years, Ceedee, Bryant, Cooper, Gallup, Witten. He had everything to win a Superbowl his first few years.
I will say this as someone who doesn't like the Cowboys and found them very dislikeable during the Romo era, it was hard to ever "hate" Romo like the media/NFL fan base always seemed to want me (let us forever be blessed that the internet wasn't as big as it is today in regards to his relationship with Jessica Simpson). I am a Seattle fan and have seen questionable decisions lose games (Hasselbeck vs the Packers in OT and of course, Russell Wilson in his second SB) in the postseason and feel that he got an unreasonable amount of hate following him being tackled. If he scores in the playoffs instead of getting tackled, we perceive him very differently today. The reality in my mind is, having your starting QB be your placeholder for your kicker is a silly decision. Even if he holds it perfectly, the risk of your starting QB getting smashed on routine play, and dooming your next round of playoffs is just stupid. But maybe that's only my perspective. He was arguably a better QB then Aikman had any right to claim, or at least appeared more heroic with his gunslinger never say die style. But for his career to be potentially forgotten alongside another good QB in franchise history in Danny White for what he couldn't do is tragic to me. Especially because one could argue Romo never really had the team to make the leap. And to me, looking back on the Dallas teams since their last SB, I find that more an unending indictment on the organization itself as those triumphant banner years fade further into obscurity. To me, as a man who had family members in the NFL who never achieved greatness or even longevity, to be a undrafted player and become the face of the Dallas Cowboys for many years was an incredible feat that should never be forgotten.
Those 3 straight 8-8 seasons, losing the division to each rival in back to back to back years, were just absolutely gutwrenching….little did I know it would only go downhill from there 😔
2014 was great and they actually beat great team and defenses, but yeah after that cowboys have been frauds since 2016 only able to beat trash, and lose to anyone decent.
Love you videos man keep up the solid work! I was growing up when Romo came in so hot. I remember him v the brett favre lead vikings, and all those epic games. I was a colts fan but the 2009 post season was legendary and made me fall in love with football
If Tony Romo’s career could be summarized in one game: Dallas vs Denver 2013. Romo led the Cowboys to 48 points and still got blamed for the loss when the defense got torched for 51 points. He wouldn’t even have to be in a situation to throw a last minute interception if the defense would’ve been at least mediocre that day. Horrendous defense and coaching always bit the Romo Cowboys in the butt during his best years. IMO those Garrett coached teams would’ve been 4-5 wining teams every year without Romo. The 2017 season proved it.
@Etdiederich say what you want but he wasn't the entire 53 man team that lost the games in the playoffs but Romo surely was the main reason the Cowboys even made it to the playoffs when they did and 9 outta 10 times Romo wasn't the problem when they lost in playoffs. Romo was the best player on The Cowboys every year he played.... I'm not sure if you really know Romo or watched him, but if not, go look up his stats and go watch some highlights and tell me if you still think it was his fault or not. I hope this doesn't come across as argumentative, and I respect your opinion. I just believe the facts and stats show the opposite of your claim.
I think Tony would have won that 2016 playoff game against Green Bay! Tony said at the age he was at I've seen everything! Just unfortunate His body gave out on Him. You're mind is ready but you're body just can't respond like it use to
As a rational Cowboys fan (one who doesn't believe every year is our year), I find this to be a very fair breakdown of Romo's career. Pointing out he was tied with Brees for the INT lead was a nice touch, showing a fairness that Tony wasn't the only one.... Tony gets a bad wrap.... yeah, a better QB between 2010 and 2015 might have produced slightly better results, possibly that elusive Lombardi. But who? The guys we all agree would be definite upgrades weren't exactly "getable". Couldn't just "go get" Brady, Brees, Manning, Rodgers or Ben. The other option is get to the top of the draft and get one, but that's always a crapshoot too....luckily someone was able to keep Jerry away from the phone on draft day when Johnny Football was sitting on the board
Hi! First time your channel has come up randomly for me on RUclips. I love football vids. Just wanted to give some feedback. The background music is rough 😖 it's too loud and distracting over your narration. I think different music would really improve the quality. It felt like I was trying to listen to you over someone playing a fantasy quest video game lol Anyways, glad I found your channel love this stuff! 😊
I think the music could be dialed down slightly or with some options changed. While I think the music is a great choice considering the retro-gaming like edits and presentation there a times where the audio is a unenjoyable experience. I can’t tell if the issue is volume or song selection. Likely a combination of both. Again if I am gauging the intent behind the content to purposefully have a retro feel considering the topic.
Romo was a beast for the cowboys that never got any help to take him to the next level... the year dak to over would have been the year Romo finally had everything he needed(o line, Rb, Wr and defense).
Having grown up with the Cowboys of that era, I think too much blame gets placed on Romo (and even Jones) when most of the actual building insiders noted that the both coaches and scouts whiffed on a lot of selections between the Switzer and Garret eras. A team is only as good as the sum of its parts, and the salary cap probably did more to undermine the franchise than even Jimmy Johnson's resignation. Add in dramatic, brand focused athletes, and the media focus, and you would think the Cowboys have been dumpster dwelling morons with the worst ownership group in the league, even if the stats and wins say otherwise when the QB isn't injured. The thing I find most annoying is Jones's close relationship with too many players past their prime, as most of the drafting has been done by the staff, often at odds with Jones's thoughts for splash and PR.
Thanks for this video. My favorite player. I haven't been as into football since Dak took over, even though the teams are better overall. This era of QBs was incredible. Romo would be second only to Mahomes if he were playing today.
Romo gave his body behind garbage cans for lineman and by the time Jerry got him a line it was too late. I truly believe he would’ve gotten that ring in 2014 or with our 2021-2024 teams. The people that talk badly about him obviously don’t know football and most likely never played organized sports. And the sad part is that Dak has had to deal with similar defensive struggles and now our Line is sub par so I guess Jerry never learns
I will say this to the day I die. If Romo could have had the teams Dak has wasted since "21, we could have at least made a NFC championship game by now. I HATE that Romo came in the era he did, the man had little no defense. He had stars on defense no question, but not a team defense, don't let that go over your head
I'll bring up an example to prove your point. Gerald Sensabaugh. Terrible run defender, outstanding pass defender/assist at times at SS. You'd have him during a matchup with the Calvin Johnson led Detroit Lions and effectively curtailed the future HOF. The second Gerald gets hurt, the flood gates open and Calvin was unstoppable the rest of the game. That's how on the edge your defense was between performing adequately matchup-matchup and performing poorly, a safety who was never considered a pro bowler getting hurt, during the Romo era.
@Gungho73 Tbh, both of yall are delusional lol but that's what I love about cowboys fans. Bro the year yall got cheated by the refs was yall best chance but that wasn't your only chance. Romo just sucked. He was literally one of the reason yall didn't make it. DAK has NEVER been the sole reason yall didn't make it tho. He never lost yall games. Considering he just got CeeDee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliot has been a shit show and Jerry Jones won't step away from team activities. It's not Dak it the Cowboys😂😂😂😂
@@xavierseymore6007 I'm not a Cowboys fan remotely, im a football fan. I can actually engage in meaningful conversation about other teams. But hey, instead of actually reading others comments and recognizing the discussion we were having, just build your own narrative apparently. You do you man but if you do take a suggestion, maybe post a comment on the video itself as its own thing, and not on comment strings you don't intend on actually engaging with meaningfully. That way if someone wants to engage with your...opinion, they can do so.
Do you not see the irony of repeating the exact same pattern of Tony with Dak? Dak is a great QB and the issues don't lie there. Your kids will talk about Dak and how good he was etc and you'll be the same as all the folks getting angry at Romo.
The Legend of Heroes: Dragon Slayer TurboGrafx CD!!! Love that soundtrack!! Great video- it really gave me some perspective on those years-Romo made a TERRIBLE team a contender.
Patrick Crayton. Thank you for pointing that out. Everyone trashes this man Romo but sheesh. Imagine Crayton doesn't drop that pass or keeps running that route. Or if the refs don't screw Dez. So much what ifs
watching catastrophes, and the crumbling of the best laid plans are the most interesting stories every football season… like the Giants of 2023, 2022, the Jets of 2023, right in the first game when their quarterback got his injury that ended the season for the whole team.. those little catastrophes Super Bowl, all those big disappointments for Jerry Jones, who I think is the greatest football team owner in the NFL I would like to see Jerry win it all, but it’s more fun watching everything crumble for him. Mixed emotions..
Giants fan here, this was a great time for us. Romo was great, but any fails by the Cowgirls, it all fell on him. Cowboy fans dont know what they had. Romo is a HoF candidate for sure
This video is why as a Cowboys fan, I cant stand Dak Prescott. Cause Tony Romo was able to make us competitive with very little help....Dak is the most coddled QB the Cowboys ever had. Jerry is right to make him play out his last year
To me there is a massive difference between Dak and Romo. Honestly i wish the teams Dak had belonged to Romo. Dak is a good QB but Romo's football IQ was insane, after 2011 Romo got into more adjustments, more reads, calling his plays. Its why Dallas had Scott Linehan, because the offense was ran by Romo. I critisize Dak not because he is bad, but because his reads always felt weak agaimst a good defense, like Dak trusted the play call too much. Dak's adjustment of the OL was always good, but his reads when passing was always to be desired. Romo is my fav QB and i do compare Dak to Romo especially now hes asking for 60+ million a year. But Romo just carried a bad team while Dak just doesnt step up against the best teams, his playoff wins are the Seahawks and the 8-9 Bucs. Its infuriating to see how Dak in 2021 and 2022 have his defense give him opportunities and fall short. The only game you can really blame Romo for choking was 2006. 2007, 2009, 2014 all seasons where Romo put his best and the team fell short, especially 2007 with the OL was bad, the WR core dropping easy passes, and Patrick Crayton giving up on a deep route.

#DezCaughtIt but man I miss the Romo days... Win or loss it was exciting football. But it sucks that he never made it all the way because he deserved it. And he'll never get his credit because of that.
Agreed. I think romo was great
@@robogreek3157 💯 he did things that astonished me on a consistent basis. He got a lot of blame he didn't deserve, and a little bit that he did, but he was one of the greatest of all time when he retired imo. The injuries and other bad luck just ruined what should be a Hall of Fame career but probably won't be because of the narrative
There was no greater experience in my life than listening to people explain to me how an UNDRAFTED PLAYER was “overrated”
He dragged that crappy team with a sieve of a defense AND O line across the finish line for years.
I’m still angry about it. He was never appreciated (especially by Cowboys fans) and got jobbed at the end.
Crayton clearly threw that divisional game in that 2007.
I always hated the people that criticize any QB for an INT on the last play of the game or on 4th down and long. At that point in a game there is no decision to be made, the ball has to go to the 1st down marker or the endzone and what happens happens. That os my biggest criticism of Prescott, he doesnt put the ball in the endzone with the game on the line, while Romo almost always did whether it worked out or not
As a Steelers fan whose dad grew up during the Steel Curtain era, the Cowboys were naturally hated in my house, and Romo had a nickname you can probably guess. Tony got too much hate, he was a solid QB but his team never had enough pieces. That week 14 game in 2008 is still one of my favorite games.
I remember being one of Romo’s biggest fans in school, and tied for biggest at home with my brother. Romo was my favorite and still is, my favorite QB. I like Dak, but it broke my heart when Romo was essentially replaced. He wasn’t a perfect QB, but there were plenty of seasons where Dallas should’ve been a terrible team but Romo kept them in the race at the end for better or worse. Thank you for putting some respect on my favorite Cowboys player’s name.
Only Jerry Jones could manage to waste a team with a prime Romo, Dez, T Smith, Z Martin, T Frederick, Ezekiel Elliot (and mess up Dak’s development as a QB for his first 4 career years) by keeping Jason Garrett that long.
This is fire! Only 3k subs? Enjoy a new one!
WE BRICKED UP BABY WE BACK
bruh you have dak. y'all ain't going nowhere. pray to God for Jerry to find a solution to pay dak 50 mil, max for parson, and ceedee....that's only 3 players that will take 80% of the cap. jerry is so demented it infects the dumb fans like you
😂
This was a fun ass time to be a cowboys fan
1000% if romo was playing with the defense we have now, he’d have a ring
I think we may have gotten a Romo championship if the refs called the Dez catch correctly up at Green Bay. They actually had a good team that year and the running game was elite.
Love him but Romo was not a winner. He just didn't have that fearlessness that Eli did.
@@charlottecorday8494 did you not watch the video???? His game winning drives? His 4th quarter comebacks? You’re insane to say he’s not a winner. Hard to fucking win when you have a defense that allows 40 points a game
@@charlottecorday8494 also the fact that you said Eli had fearlessness shows you don’t know lol 😂 Eli was carried by his giants defense he absolutely sucked those years
@@pandavelli8176 I don’t completely disagree with you, however, the defense that year was held together with baling wire and duct tape.
romo had an uncle rico throwing motion
Favre esque especially as his fave player
I seen't him throw it over them mountains tho
It wasn't the Romo teams that were chaos - it was the Jerry Jones teams that were chaos.
Also that 2013 lions game was crazy. They were single covering calvin Johnson which made plenty of sense to do. Witnessing them live is crazy
2:34 I was at that Cowboys Vs Colts game, and it was incredible to watch Romo work his magic.
This is the best Romo/Cowboys video breakdown I have ever seen! It gives you context of what he had around him compared to certain QBs
Growing up in this era of football was so fun the 2000s have some good memories with all the players I like (good and bad lol) also damn I didn’t know he played for so long
Romo will always have a special place in my heart. Loved watching him carry those terrible teams
So Basically Tony romo was the john cena of the dallas cowboys?
That Dez catch/no-catch is the reason I became a Cowboys fan and a Packers hater… I can’t STAND those cheese heads from Wiscancin.
Aaron Rodgers owns your Cowboys, and Jordan Love is picking up where he left off!!!
@@fsanmiguel666 Who?
🧀🧀🧀
Oh boo hoo. The packers still would've won even if that catch counted
@@ProjectSh4dow their daddy
I grew up in a family that was divided into a Cowboys side and a Giants side, so Romo was always a highly debated subject among family members. I always thought he was good, he just lacked the clutch gene that guys like Eli or Rodgers had. He’s a great story and those cowboys teams were always fun to watch and root against.
I dont know who you are, but this is awesome. Subscribed. Hope to see more videos like this!
There’s no telling how far the cowboys would have went if Parcells did not leave. Parcells had what was the beginning of a possible dynasty building. Then Jerry had to be Jerry and push him into retirement. All so he could hire yes man wade phillips. I honestly think he did this once he figured Parcells had enough pieces in place. So that way if they won the Super Bowl, he could take the credit. He never did like Jimmy Johnson getting the credit for building a team and winning. So he let Bill do the building, and thought bumbling wade could just come in and win based on the team’s talent. Remember what Jerry said about Jimmy Johnson’s cowboys “there are 500 coaches that could win the Super Bowl with this team.” Boy was he wrong then. And wrong again with wade. Phillips (who btw was a great defensive coordinator) was a disaster as head coach. The cowboys had a 13 and 3 record despite Wade Phillips and co. Thanks Jerry for blowing what could have been a Super Bowl winning team. All to stroke his own ego
19:45 This game did not go to overtime.
Found this channel today while at work looking for background stuff to play. Looking forward to listening and hopefully subscribing shortly!
Typing this as the intro plays, I have a great feeling about your channel!
Long time falcons fan here
It actually was only 1 preseason game for romo that final year....that preseason game against Seattle was his first appearance since the injury the previous year and he basically got hurt within a few plays into his return
I really enjoyed the video, and I felt it was fair to Romo.
Tony Romo would have been an extremely loved QB, if he didn’t have that Star on his helmet.
Seems like Dak Prescott is going through the same treatment
Dak Prescott doesn’t win as much with more tools and a better defense. I am a young millennial as in born the last year a millennial is born on and Dallas has been my favorite football team my entire life.
Tony Romo had offensive battles with some of the greatest QB of their time with Super Bowl wins on their belt. Quite frankly, the defense created situations Tony Romo had to put everything on the line. Since 2016 I’ve know about Romo having the most amount of games won off a 4th Q comeback. The o-line didn’t really finish being drafted til what 2012/2013. Truly whenever Zack Martin was drafted. I could get a sack on the defense in 2010 and I was a child.
@@Proks7What tools does Dak even have outside of Ceedee Lamb currently? lol
@@KJ.Cboyz2001 Dak's had a great Offensive line every year, a decent defense every year, Zeke for years, Ceedee, Bryant, Cooper, Gallup, Witten. He had everything to win a Superbowl his first few years.
@@godhateshipster1203 you sound so remedial
I will say this as someone who doesn't like the Cowboys and found them very dislikeable during the Romo era, it was hard to ever "hate" Romo like the media/NFL fan base always seemed to want me (let us forever be blessed that the internet wasn't as big as it is today in regards to his relationship with Jessica Simpson). I am a Seattle fan and have seen questionable decisions lose games (Hasselbeck vs the Packers in OT and of course, Russell Wilson in his second SB) in the postseason and feel that he got an unreasonable amount of hate following him being tackled. If he scores in the playoffs instead of getting tackled, we perceive him very differently today. The reality in my mind is, having your starting QB be your placeholder for your kicker is a silly decision. Even if he holds it perfectly, the risk of your starting QB getting smashed on routine play, and dooming your next round of playoffs is just stupid. But maybe that's only my perspective.
He was arguably a better QB then Aikman had any right to claim, or at least appeared more heroic with his gunslinger never say die style. But for his career to be potentially forgotten alongside another good QB in franchise history in Danny White for what he couldn't do is tragic to me. Especially because one could argue Romo never really had the team to make the leap. And to me, looking back on the Dallas teams since their last SB, I find that more an unending indictment on the organization itself as those triumphant banner years fade further into obscurity. To me, as a man who had family members in the NFL who never achieved greatness or even longevity, to be a undrafted player and become the face of the Dallas Cowboys for many years was an incredible feat that should never be forgotten.
Heard that Golden Sun music kick in and it hit my brain like an MK Ultra switch
I bet Tony cries watching the cowboys assemble a good team after he retired
Why would he? They’re not winning. They’re doing nothing different.
Good stuff keep bringing it
Great video!
The dude had a clasped lung and still went out and beat the hard hitting 9ers.
Romo was truly something else and quite possibly the greatest quarterback to never appear in a Superbowl
@@danh9676 I’d probably give that to Moon or Fouts, but Romo was special for sure, one of my favorite players ever.
Those 3 straight 8-8 seasons, losing the division to each rival in back to back to back years, were just absolutely gutwrenching….little did I know it would only go downhill from there 😔
Come on man, we’ve been pretty consistently good since 2016, just not much playoff success. During that era (08-13) we were very mediocre
2014 was great and they actually beat great team and defenses, but yeah after that cowboys have been frauds since 2016 only able to beat trash, and lose to anyone decent.
@@matthewschoenborn4833facts Cowboys have made the postseason for 3 straight seasons something they haven't done since probably the 90s
Awesome video btw
I disagree, if Romo had the same defense and the same offense that Dak has he would have won some Super Bowl Championships by now
Bro them 8-8 years was hell 😂
Rod Smith has to be the great undrafted player ever.
Love you videos man keep up the solid work! I was growing up when Romo came in so hot. I remember him v the brett favre lead vikings, and all those epic games. I was a colts fan but the 2009 post season was legendary and made me fall in love with football
Romo was insanely good and insanely underappreciated.
5:05 RIP Marion Barber
If Tony Romo’s career could be summarized in one game: Dallas vs Denver 2013.
Romo led the Cowboys to 48 points and still got blamed for the loss when the defense got torched for 51 points.
He wouldn’t even have to be in a situation to throw a last minute interception if the defense would’ve been at least mediocre that day. Horrendous defense and coaching always bit the Romo Cowboys in the butt during his best years. IMO those Garrett coached teams would’ve been 4-5 wining teams every year without Romo. The 2017 season proved it.
Romo deserved more then what Jones gave him
Romo is at 5th place in NFL history for QBR, and he's my favorite player ever.He deserved a ring..... man, DEZ CAUGHT THAT SHIT!!!!!
As if they wouldn’t have choked like they have been for the last 25 years
@Etdiederich say what you want but he wasn't the entire 53 man team that lost the games in the playoffs but Romo surely was the main reason the Cowboys even made it to the playoffs when they did and 9 outta 10 times Romo wasn't the problem when they lost in playoffs. Romo was the best player on The Cowboys every year he played.... I'm not sure if you really know Romo or watched him, but if not, go look up his stats and go watch some highlights and tell me if you still think it was his fault or not. I hope this doesn't come across as argumentative, and I respect your opinion. I just believe the facts and stats show the opposite of your claim.
@@MarshmallowEST.90 🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯 Well Said!!! U are Absolutely CORRECT!!!!! ROMO Was Dat Dude!!!!
I think Tony would have won that 2016 playoff game against Green Bay! Tony said at the age he was at I've seen everything! Just unfortunate His body gave out on Him. You're mind is ready but you're body just can't respond like it use to
amazing video
Romo is a legend
As a rational Cowboys fan (one who doesn't believe every year is our year), I find this to be a very fair breakdown of Romo's career.
Pointing out he was tied with Brees for the INT lead was a nice touch, showing a fairness that Tony wasn't the only one....
Tony gets a bad wrap.... yeah, a better QB between 2010 and 2015 might have produced slightly better results, possibly that elusive Lombardi. But who? The guys we all agree would be definite upgrades weren't exactly "getable". Couldn't just "go get" Brady, Brees, Manning, Rodgers or Ben. The other option is get to the top of the draft and get one, but that's always a crapshoot too....luckily someone was able to keep Jerry away from the phone on draft day when Johnny Football was sitting on the board
Best Cowboy of this century. They gave him a good team around him after he had already worn out his body completely.
If Tony didnt get injured the 1st year we had Zeke, he would have a championship. 2014 was our best chance to win a SB and the refs robbed us of that
Respect for using ys book 1&2’s soundtrack
Very good material for background music, the one you mentioned at 26:50 I believe is The Strongest Foe from Ys III!
Hi! First time your channel has come up randomly for me on RUclips. I love football vids. Just wanted to give some feedback. The background music is rough 😖 it's too loud and distracting over your narration. I think different music would really improve the quality. It felt like I was trying to listen to you over someone playing a fantasy quest video game lol Anyways, glad I found your channel love this stuff! 😊
To Hell with that!
The music is not only great, but it greatly stands out upon all the channels plagued with those beyond overrated ‘fire’ beats…
I think the music could be dialed down slightly or with some options changed. While I think the music is a great choice considering the retro-gaming like edits and presentation there a times where the audio is a unenjoyable experience. I can’t tell if the issue is volume or song selection. Likely a combination of both.
Again if I am gauging the intent behind the content to purposefully have a retro feel considering the topic.
Those years after Aikman before Romo were brutal. Now it seems like we're about to go through it again.
I feel like the Dak video is gonna be very similar to this video with maybe a bigger emphasis on the GB games😅
Tony Romo is easily the best QB they've had in 25 years.
Romo was a beast for the cowboys that never got any help to take him to the next level... the year dak to over would have been the year Romo finally had everything he needed(o line, Rb, Wr and defense).
Fire vid 🔥
I still haven't gotten over the Dez catch
As a commanders fan who grew up during the Romo era, I fucking love this shit.
Having grown up with the Cowboys of that era, I think too much blame gets placed on Romo (and even Jones) when most of the actual building insiders noted that the both coaches and scouts whiffed on a lot of selections between the Switzer and Garret eras. A team is only as good as the sum of its parts, and the salary cap probably did more to undermine the franchise than even Jimmy Johnson's resignation. Add in dramatic, brand focused athletes, and the media focus, and you would think the Cowboys have been dumpster dwelling morons with the worst ownership group in the league, even if the stats and wins say otherwise when the QB isn't injured. The thing I find most annoying is Jones's close relationship with too many players past their prime, as most of the drafting has been done by the staff, often at odds with Jones's thoughts for splash and PR.
There’s a fine line between “aggressive gun slinger mentality” and not giving even a fraction of a fck😂
Thanks for this video. My favorite player. I haven't been as into football since Dak took over, even though the teams are better overall. This era of QBs was incredible. Romo would be second only to Mahomes if he were playing today.
32:58 so much PAIN 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
really diggin your presentation
Romo gave his body behind garbage cans for lineman and by the time Jerry got him a line it was too late. I truly believe he would’ve gotten that ring in 2014 or with our 2021-2024 teams. The people that talk badly about him obviously don’t know football and most likely never played organized sports. And the sad part is that Dak has had to deal with similar defensive struggles and now our Line is sub par so I guess Jerry never learns
Wasn't that jim kleinsasser nickname what the vikings? Ole reliable
I will say this to the day I die. If Romo could have had the teams Dak has wasted since "21, we could have at least made a NFC championship game by now. I HATE that Romo came in the era he did, the man had little no defense. He had stars on defense no question, but not a team defense, don't let that go over your head
I'll bring up an example to prove your point. Gerald Sensabaugh. Terrible run defender, outstanding pass defender/assist at times at SS. You'd have him during a matchup with the Calvin Johnson led Detroit Lions and effectively curtailed the future HOF. The second Gerald gets hurt, the flood gates open and Calvin was unstoppable the rest of the game. That's how on the edge your defense was between performing adequately matchup-matchup and performing poorly, a safety who was never considered a pro bowler getting hurt, during the Romo era.
@Gungho73 Tbh, both of yall are delusional lol but that's what I love about cowboys fans. Bro the year yall got cheated by the refs was yall best chance but that wasn't your only chance. Romo just sucked. He was literally one of the reason yall didn't make it. DAK has NEVER been the sole reason yall didn't make it tho. He never lost yall games. Considering he just got CeeDee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliot has been a shit show and Jerry Jones won't step away from team activities. It's not Dak it the Cowboys😂😂😂😂
@@xavierseymore6007 I'm not a Cowboys fan remotely, im a football fan. I can actually engage in meaningful conversation about other teams. But hey, instead of actually reading others comments and recognizing the discussion we were having, just build your own narrative apparently. You do you man but if you do take a suggestion, maybe post a comment on the video itself as its own thing, and not on comment strings you don't intend on actually engaging with meaningfully. That way if someone wants to engage with your...opinion, they can do so.
Do you not see the irony of repeating the exact same pattern of Tony with Dak? Dak is a great QB and the issues don't lie there. Your kids will talk about Dak and how good he was etc and you'll be the same as all the folks getting angry at Romo.
No wonder Romo's back was always injured. He carried the team for 3/4ths of his career.
Good video
I was at the 2007 divisional game it was magic(other than the dudes in front of us that stood the whole game)
By the end of his career romo had one of the best December stats ever
@@justinfletcher7630 2014 especially was one of the best decembers from both a team (by point differential) and a QB ever.
Nobody can convince me Romo didnt create Mahomes.
The Legend of Heroes: Dragon Slayer TurboGrafx CD!!! Love that soundtrack!! Great video- it really gave me some perspective on those years-Romo made a TERRIBLE team a contender.
If only Romo had Brady/Brees type longevity. He only played 9 seasons as the starter. Imagine if he kept playing until like 2020 when we had a defense
Honestly Dak Prescotts carreer really has been a mirror image of Romo's
Patrick Crayton. Thank you for pointing that out. Everyone trashes this man Romo but sheesh. Imagine Crayton doesn't drop that pass or keeps running that route. Or if the refs don't screw Dez. So much what ifs
29:54 The Dez Bryant no-catch was payback for that
I believe the word, you’re searching for is karma, but absolutely true.
Pay back my ass... the cowboys had magic all season
watching catastrophes, and the crumbling of the best laid plans are the most interesting stories every football season… like the Giants of 2023, 2022, the Jets of 2023, right in the first game when their quarterback got his injury that ended the season for the whole team..
those little catastrophes Super Bowl, all those big disappointments for Jerry Jones, who I think is the greatest football team owner in the NFL I would like to see Jerry win it all, but it’s more fun watching everything crumble for him. Mixed emotions..
Giants fan here, this was a great time for us. Romo was great, but any fails by the Cowgirls, it all fell on him. Cowboy fans dont know what they had. Romo is a HoF candidate for sure
I appreciate the apology before showing the lions playoff L, i remember that game, that fuckin game
This video is why as a Cowboys fan, I cant stand Dak Prescott. Cause Tony Romo was able to make us competitive with very little help....Dak is the most coddled QB the Cowboys ever had. Jerry is right to make him play out his last year
one thing we can all agree on though is that tony romo is a goated color commentator
Definitely want to know how close Romo came to signing with Texans
Stop with Tony Excuses... Yall hate on Dak For Playoff L's but not Tomy lol
To me there is a massive difference between Dak and Romo.
Honestly i wish the teams Dak had belonged to Romo. Dak is a good QB but Romo's football IQ was insane, after 2011 Romo got into more adjustments, more reads, calling his plays. Its why Dallas had Scott Linehan, because the offense was ran by Romo.
I critisize Dak not because he is bad, but because his reads always felt weak agaimst a good defense, like Dak trusted the play call too much. Dak's adjustment of the OL was always good, but his reads when passing was always to be desired.
Romo is my fav QB and i do compare Dak to Romo especially now hes asking for 60+ million a year. But Romo just carried a bad team while Dak just doesnt step up against the best teams, his playoff wins are the Seahawks and the 8-9 Bucs. Its infuriating to see how Dak in 2021 and 2022 have his defense give him opportunities and fall short. The only game you can really blame Romo for choking was 2006. 2007, 2009, 2014 all seasons where Romo put his best and the team fell short, especially 2007 with the OL was bad, the WR core dropping easy passes, and Patrick Crayton giving up on a deep route.
