He is too far removed from the game these days to predict plays based upon personnel and looks. The game has passed him by and now he has to actually do the job, not just amaze us with his presnap reads.

Romo makes 18 million a year to do what, 25 games?

I understand it's not an easy job, but good grief.

Not an easy job? Really? Sure, there is prep for the games and the travel, but just blabbering whatever comes to mind for 3 hours with lots of built in breaks?

It takes a special skill set to be good at it.

I'm not going to dig it up, but SVP or Dan Patrick explains how tough it is, and how the greats make it look easy.

Both of those guys qualify as great IMO

I don't buy this one bit. There are plenty of times he makes a good call on what the play will be before the snap.

Plus, I mean, football doesn't change that much. Collinsworth and Aikman have been out of the league for far longer and they still understand the Xs and Os.

But that's what made him so good the first year.

They are doing a better job in preparation.

The thing I dislike about Romo is that right at the point where a game gets really tight (and thus interesting) he freaks out and turns into a fan.

He gets so excited that it overrides his brain and he just starts regurgitating garbage.

Plus, the way he gargled the Bengals the entire game was sickening.

Lol, what? Have you heard some of the former players/coaches they've brought in for a game? Many of them are so far off even I know they're ignorant.

Even CBS is tired of his shit. Sent two execs to meet with him for an "intervention" about his slippage.

Apparently he doesn't put the time in and is just winging it on GameDay.

It stands to reason, I mean if the guy did ANY prep at all before commenting on Josh Allen, the Mr. January bullshit probably never happens.

The guy's claim to fame is losing to Mahomes in the playoffs and this shitbird days he's Mr January. It's hilarious.

FloridaMan88 02-03-2023 07:06 PM

Kevin Harlan and Trent Green is CBS’ best announcing team.

dlphg9 02-03-2023 07:47 PM

The whole thing is hilarious with Romo and the "intervention". They are stuck with him, because the dipshits gave him a 10 yr $180 mil deal.

"Several" (how many is that?) legit flew to Dallas and showed up at his house, then they made him watch clips of himself and discussed his chemistry with Jim. Did he know they were coming? Cuz I would have said get ****ed, since he's under contract. The whole thing is hilarious.

Aikman> Romo...even in the beginning

McAfee: the "old whites" hate me LMAO

Sucks when the word "slippage" shows up in your annual evaluation.

Jet Chip Wasp 02-03-2023 08:20 PM

I agree with the ones here who say Romo was instructed by CBS to tone down what was great about him his first year. A mistake from CBS brass IMO. What Romo did in his first year as analyst made him fun to listen to.

Cris Collinsworth has always been a fan of King Mahomes so he is good in my book.

Romo may have attempted racial slurs on air to get fired. Payme will have to try another route in Denver

If you don’t think former NFL head coaches and position coaches can’t break down a play immediately, then that’s on you. Paul Finebaum used to have Booger McFarland on during Alabama games and Booger could do it.

Especially when Harlan’s calling both games.
