- Tony Romo had a long career with the Dallas Cowboys filled with a few highly publicized bad moments. That overshadowed an otherwise really solid career.

90% of people: wait he Mexican
Definitely didn't represent that at all
He not Mexican sorry kid 5 dollars Indian
Mexican is NOT a race. It's nationality. You can be any color of skin tone, and be Mexican.
MrTubs911 it’s a race or aslong as we keep saying it is then it will be looked at as one
Hispanic, not Mexican. Shape up guys
Romo was hated all his career, man was a great QB but hated for having a star in his helmet, ever since he joined the booth, he’s been getting the love and praise that he deserves 🐐
I wouldn't call him 'great', I would call him talented. 'Great' means that he accomplished a lot, and well...he didn't.
Im a cowboys fan and I've liked them my entire life i wouldn't call him a great quarterback though. I would call him a good quarterback.
When he was good he was really good but when he was bad he was really bad. He had two sides to him.
Great QBs arent hated by their own fans a majority of their career
BITCH HE WAS HATED BECAUSE HE SUCKED WHEN IT MATTERED!! HAS JACK SHIT TO DO WITH DALLAS!!
As a Giants fan, this guy had me shitting myself everytime we played them. Amazing QB and underrated toughness.
I am sure you remember the 12/11/2011 shootout. He drove his team to attempt the FG that was blocked
by JPP's missing fingers.
@@haroldlieberman3314 He still had all 10 back then.
He actually beat the Giants the last 5 times he played against them. I am sure you remember the first game of 2015.
Bro Eli had me squirming. Eli was better. He would shred our defense every time.
Toughness? The guy that broke a finger on his non throwing hand and needed 2 months off 😂 yeah tough took a turn
As a Packers fan, I always liked Romo despite the unwarranted hate. I love when he commentates our games, he’s honestly a good guy. it’s unfortunate the way he was treated now everybody loves him
@Dr. Thain Silverstein lmfao facts
Yeah, he’s about the only likable announcer in the NFL nowadays. I wish he covered more Green Bay games, instead of Collinsworth, who literally had to refrain from talking trash for no reason.
Yaaaaa im a diehard cowboys fan and i hate aaron rodgers with a fkin passion, but he is one of the best of all time and i respect him for tht. I just wish he was rocking a broncos jersey cause i wana see the packers crumble. 😅😅
I'm an Eagles fan and always thought he was overhated.
Tony grew up in Wisconsin as well and was a pretty big Packers fan as a kid, Brett Favre was his favorite QB.
Romo carried the Cowboys on his back until it literally broke. Terrible coaching , Defense, o-line, and no running game and he still put up the numbers he did…he deserved better
Terrible quarterbacking too....put up those 2-4 in the playoffs numbers.
Never lead the league in any stat, other than largest contract for a 1 playoff win QB.
We deserved better.
@@joshuawood1436 pretty sure he led the league at one point or another in some stat category. He was a straight baller but between bad oline or bad defenses, he just wasnt gonna do it all alone. Jerry Jones really dropped the ball on a QB that could've easily been a HOF if his oline did a better job or defenses didnt give up leads.
@@papasmurful3964 No, he never lead the league in any real category. QBR and Passer rating is just voodoo nonsense.
He was a straight partier, between embracing his celebrity, dating famous blondes, and having no drive to win it all you get 10 years of gret Regular season game stats, a bad stat line in big games, and below average in the playoffs.
Always an excuse why it wasn't his fault though right?
@@joshuawood1436 how is qbr or passer rating not a real stat? Its literally the stat that determines a QB's overall stats. lol
@@joshuawood1436 Dude... just stop being a jackass troll. From 2006 to 2014, Romo led ALL NFL QBs in 4th quarter comebacks (23) and game winning drives (27). From 2007-2016, he led all 71 qualifying QBs in 4th quarter passer rating. The man has multiple NFL, season and team records. He eclipsed Troy and Roger's records playing far fewer games and despite having shit and mediocre teams for most of his career.
Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett failed Romo over the years and ended his career.
Dude I was so fucking mad when Jerry said Dak would start over Romo. Smh idiots
A better head coach and offensive coordinator would probably have made a huge difference.
I was 69th like
Facts!!!👍👌💯!
Jason Garrett never knew anything about developing players to make them better, Romo had to learn on his own. By that time it was too little, too later.
That reversed call hurt my soul. Years of defending my guy week after week and any time I was in a bar and someone asked me about my Cowboys swag. 2014 was THE year to silence all the critics. In Lambeau vs the NFL Golden Boy and MVP and he did everything he could to pull it off but they robbed him. No one remembers trailing 20-7 late in the playoff game the week before when Romo brought them back to win. No one remembers that Demarco Murray fumbled with nothing but green in front of him, or that the ball bounced into Randall Cobb's hands on a third down conversion in the first half of this game. They remember that Dez 'didn't' catch it and Romo and the Boys went home with an L. If that call is upheld, and Cowboys can't punch it in, or they do, and Rodgers pulls off a late game winning drive, fine. But to have it end that way and have it ripped from them was garbage.
As a Packers fan, I remember all of those things. It was a wild game, and I was so nervous watching that game. The Cowboys were down early, but then they figured out how the clutch worked and shifted into a whole new gear. And it was scary as fuck. We couldn't stop them from marching down the field.
Romo is severely underrated.
@@danielmejorado6098 Appreciate you saying that!
The cowboys deserved it after the picked up pass interference and ignoring 2 holds against Suh to get cowboys into that game in the first place. They should have lost to lions in the wild card round to lions. Romo didn't bring them back the refs did
@@nickdarr7328 Give me a break with the "karma" argument. Pettigrew had a handful of face mask. There was also 8 minutes left not 4 and Stafford either turns it over, they miss a FG or settle for one. That non call had little to do with the ending. A huge break if you want but it wasn't a 3rd and long, or the conversion they needed to kneel on it after converting. They then muffed the punt anyway.
@@keithratel6590 what really bothered me was on that final Romo drive Suh basically got tackled twice and nothing kills drives like holds. But for real it was the lions OC to blame. The lions score twice immediately and then do nothing that had made the lions successful all year. If that flag never got thrown it wouldn't have been such a big deal. But the refs picking up a flag to help the cowboys beat the lowly lions was a great narrative for all us cowboy haters. And for what it's worth I hate the Packers way more and was upset by that call. Especially since they rule it a catch to start. I like anything that hurts the Packers
I'm an Eagles fan. In his prime, he was a top 5 qb in the NFL. Always had me sweating during our games.
Top 5. Nah dude
@@K....D.... bro did u not watch the vid? It shows he was, he was no.1 in some of the categories bud.
He absolutely was bro! As a cowboys fan it made me sad when Dallas fans would talk junk about him. He was a beast and had an amazing arm. The line was 🗑 for years. He made guys like Laurent Robinson 1,000 yard receivers. How many games have we(Dallas) won in the playoffs since..??
Like top 5 at the time during his prime. Not top 5 all time. Just to clarify.
First of all, your an Eagles fan? Do you believe Mcnabb (sorry about the spelling) deserves the Hall?
If he had went to Sean Payton in New Orleans, we'd probably be talking about Hall of Fame and Saints legend, Tony Romo. Sounds weird doesn't it?
Crazy man. Flem legend
No we wouldn't...
Tony would've balled with the Saints
@Parker Steen ok but what does that have to do with you claiming he couldn't produce with the saints
Joshua Portillo Wrong person lol.
I remember when Tony Romo jucked JJ watt in the most disrespectful way 😂😂
Juke
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Why do people get so offended when they get their grammar corrected? Never understood that.
nabchaos what's jucked mean?
why do people feel the need to correct someone when they clearly just had a typo...when you chat with someone and they misspell something do you correct them in chat? The answer is no. So why do you do it here?
@@coreyandreas730 - it means shut the fuck up shit for brains!! the useless imbecile that you are!! oh by the way, can you understand that????
Tony Romo had one of the most beautiful throwing motions and outstanding footwork. I loved watching him play because you had a sense that anything could happen.
Yeah, he threw a beautiful deep ball, just like Warren Moon. Romo was a real gunslinger.
100 percent agree. I loved watching him play. Also, he wasn't fast, but he had this, ability, to escape and make plays. I still remember that Monday night game against Buffalo, where the Cowboys were down like 20 points or something with 5 min left, and he brought them back to win. Albeit, his 5 turnovers didn't help, but still, amazing game.
$17 million a year to call games instead of playing and dealing with all the physical stuff that goes along with playing football and potentially getting injured. Yeah I’ll sit in the booth.
If you’ve ever truly competed for anything, then you’ll know that this is what money can’t give you. The joy of winning after battling with all you got in you for hours to try to win. Ain’t no replacing that in the booth.
He still had a ton Of horrible injuries that I’m sure he feels everyday to this day.
Romo's calling the game, my surround sound automatically looks for the game on radio. He talks a better game than he ever played.
@@bigmex8794 yeah and Tony had his chance to play and win big but he didn’t make to the top. So this is a better option for him now.
Romo is one of the most underrated talents of all time. His entire career was judged on having poor surrounding cast and a couple bad plays. What a shame.
Sounds like Andrew Luck a little bit
@forgiato Telly false. Check out that 4th quarter rating. 4th quarter comebacks.
@@koltonhill4925 also, take a look at his win % from Sep-Nov
@@scoobydoo4242 no.
@@koltonhill4925 playoff wins??
For all the heat Romo takes, the reality of it is, he was the only reason Dallas was relevant when he played. As for the pass to Dez. A perfect pass.
Michael Scott voice: THANK YOU!
The pass was great. Dez got greedy looking for the TD instead of securing the catch and let the ball hit the turf. Should have taken 1st and goal from the 2, kept the clock running and got the Ball into the end zone with Murray with less time on the clock. I have no confidence Dallas defense keep Rodgers from marching down the field and getting the win even if Dez scores
Dude was amazing. Nothing else to say
- a New England fan living in eagles country lol
One of the great football minds, love hearing him as a commentator too he’ll call half the plays of the game before they even happen it’s amazing
@@ryanmitchell4266 you know damn well In the heat of the moment with all that on the line you would of reached for the goaline also it’s what any playmakers natural reaction would be
You gotta be inspired by his ability to be patient. He sat on the bench and did the workouts, he put in the work for 3 years ... now that is the definition of tenacity.
He was always the last guy out there. The QB cowch at the time would stay there with him for hours on end and then Romo would ask for 20 balls every single night 365 days a year to throw into the couch at night. Talk about working your ass off.
LOL, no, it's called drawing a paycheck, Einstein.
@@pretorious700 exactly lol i would love to get paid millions to practice and warm the bench

@@2wheelsonly614 are you dumb
TO my dude but that was funny🤣🤣🤣
nobody ever wanna talk ab the game vs the skins when dude fractured his back finished the game throwing the gw td to demarco on 4th and 12😞
DaQuarrious game where he left against the 49ers with broken ribd and a punctured lung, only to return down 24-14 and lead the comeback win was better imo
Both were great, and showed how hardcore he was.
"The sun shines on a dog's ass some days. Anybody can win the lottery." Winning some meaningless games in October doesnt make up for his colossal failures in December and January.
I still remember watching that game, absolutely incredible ending. THATS MY QB
Michael Kish Off yourself
I also like to think much of scrutiny towards Romo comes from playing for the Cowboys.
Change most to all, and that's correct
Factz
For sure
In Texas it’s hard to look good with even one mastake
Yeah- the lights were waaay too bright. Unless youre the second coming of staubach or aikman, it’s gonna be hard to succeed there
As a cowboys fan, I've been a Tony Romo apologist since I started watching football. And its really nice to see someone who can see Tony Romo in a good light, especially from a non-Cowboys fan. I've had to put up with Romo Haters for all my football watching life (starting in high school), and it hasn't been easy. So it really is heart-warming to see a video like this out on CZcams. So from the bottom of my heart; Thank you, Man. (I really needed this, this wasn't a good year for us)
Never understood the hate for Romo. I always thought he was great. Did he have some bad moments and games? Sure. But dude was a beast.
Romo was ultimately a loser, so cry some more tears, Sparky.
@@pretorious700 it's been a year since I posted this. Your only NOW commenting? A little late on the hate train, aren't ya?
Also, sparky? What are you?
@@TheChipilicious Romo was a epic faiI
All you have to do is look at stats,Tony's stats are AMAZING HOF level stats
He's only on par with Brees, Brady, and Peyton. Eli? Nope, not even a single close comparison there.
What happened to Tony Romo... DEFENSE!!!!! he had 1 top ten defense his whole career. Big Ben had the number 1 or 2 every year, Tom Brady consistently had top 10 defenses. DEFENSE
@@letsgobrandon3928 In 2013, in Romo's 7 losses in which he had 17 TDs, 3 ints, an average of 28 points, 101 passer rating, the defense gave up an average of 37 points. Yet, all critics point to Romo as the problem for the losses when the defense allowed opposing QBs, even complete nobodies (Josh Flynn and Matt McGown), to have passer ratings that were 25 points higher than against the rest of the league. Yet, it was all Romo's fault.
@@letsgobrandon3928 FACTS....and Every Superbowl Troy Won our defense Number 1 or 2 ! When our defense fell off so did Troy ....I like Romo better than Troy look at there stats Troy Had MORE INTS AND LESS TDS than Tony ! Alot of people don't look at that FACT
Considering he went undrafted, he was under-rated. He finished a game with a broken rib against the niners. He worked hard.
He had a punctured lung too. And won the game in overtime.
@@michellecoleman3390 still do
As a 9ers fan... that day was the day when I saw the truth. Romo was a beast
That was Romo's greatest game. Miles Austin was the only starting WR able to play. All of the others were off the practice squad and Romo still won against a team that went on to the Super Bowl.
He was one of the most criminally under supported QB's in his time. Having a couple of pro bowlers on the team doesn't take away from the fact that the defense was consistently one of the worst in the game by the numbers and the offensive line was for the vast majority of his career a sieve. Pro bowl is a popularity contest in anyone thinking otherwise is a smooth brain. It's a shame that the offensive line only got good when he was already broken from years of taking a beating. And a lot of those big game losses came down to the fact that the defense couldn't stop a pop warner team.
Saying he wasn't a great I think is subjective. especially when you consider the only reason most say he is not is the big games or the playoffs. Go look at some playoff performances of guys we consider to be great QBs like Warren moon and then tell me we are applying the same standard.
Love your channel and keep all the content coming especially now with everything being on pause.
Thank you. When he had just a little bit of talent around him, they looked great. He never had a good defense.. The man would throw 400+yards, 4 TDs, and then have to come back and win in the last minute.. More than often, he would win. (Look up the stats, most 4th qrtr comebacks of all time). Other times he would throw an INT (of course.. The Defense knows you have to pass. They know you have to hit the sidelines to save time) He shouldn't have to come back to win every other game in the 4th quarter.. Ugghhh..
I wish we woulda had him healthy for 2 more years. Zekes rookie year especially.
Dash let’s remember the game against Peyton. He would have broken the most yards in a game if Witten didn’t muff that pass attempt in that last drive for the boys.
@@rolandrodriguez9594 I will never forget that game. My sister is a Broncos fan and we were calling each other back and forth talking shit.. Romo threw for over 500 yards and had 5 TDs. QBR of 140.
Then had to win the game with a 4th quarter comeback, as usual.. But threw an interception. This is a prime example of what I always bitched about. The man was on fire.. But his defense couldn't so jack shit.
So 500+yds/5 TDs and then was still down in the 4th and lost the game due yo an INT.. But yeah, that's Romo's fault right?! Lol..
As a Colts fan.. you know all other teams fans HATE the Cowboys. If he had played anywhere else he'd be heralded as on of the top 20-25 QB's ever.
@@trip2belize Agreed.. That's honestly where I hold him. I think he was better than Aikman tbh. Some think that's crazy but if you put the team around him that Aikman had.. Yeah
I have been a cowboys fan my whole life. Tony Romo showed elite moves and plays no one will remember. The man had a terrible front line. And he could feel the defenders around him. And he played like a man running for his life. The man will always have my respect. I still loved watching him play. I have his jersey right next to my Aikman.
i’m not even a cowboys fan but seeing them lose that playoff game to green bay broke my heart
I'm a lifelong cowboy fan, my heart is still mending 😢

@@oc3694 my heart still hasn't even begun to mend, I think about that moment everyday
@@stevenheminger7882 get over it scrub. The Lions got away with things in the game as well. They didn't do enough at the end, sucks to suck. I say the same about Dallas in the Green Bay game. Shouldn't have let it come down to that one play.
@@tomp.3415 Let me guess a cowboys fan, the Lions have one playoff win since 1957, and you think Lions fans are going to get over being cheated? Your more Dillusional than most cowboys fans I'll give you thaf

@@zacharythomason7359 Thanksgiving 2015. Ohhh man that turkey was good. lol
Playa from the Himalayas how was the Super Bowl that year?
As a cowboys fan, it meant everything to me that instead of dumping it off to cole Beasley on that play, he saw 1 on 1 with his guy dez and he trusted him. That was him, that was that team. They went down swinging the only way they knew how, and they should’ve won. The cowboys can go on to win the super bowl in the coming years but no season will mean more to me ever in my life than 2014.
Should’ve threw it to Beasley man, we’d have drained more time off the clock and it was such an wide open throw, he choked it but dez caught it
Totally agree that was a heart breaker game!
@@VccTn dez was one on one for the first time all game with a smaller sam shields. It wasn't a bad read he had no intention of looking for anybody else. The playcall was for dez and he made the perfect throw
Eli vs tony were always some elite matchups man, always worth a watch
He was cold as basketball. He went to a high school in Wisconsin: Burlington, my brother goes there and you can see plaques of his scoring records EVERYWHERE.
If you hate the Cowboys then that must suck
@KRISPIRACY crazy😂😂
@KRISPIRACY also they must've switched some stuff around it's just Burlington High now. His Jersey is draped in front of the gym and I think the training field is named after him
When your numbers are top 5 and top 10 in passing stats every season with prime Brady, Brees, Manning, and Rodgers I think you were a pretty damn good QB.

The fact that I, a non major sports fan, know his name means that he was a good QB.
Tony Romo was a great quarterback. He is one of the greats. I've never seen a quarterback with so little help do so much. I'm not a cowboy fan at all but always loved watching this dude play. Just as fun as watching Brett Favre
Billy Branchcomb one of the greats?! He was good, solid quarterback who made bad mistakes at the worst times. But please don’t be that guy to put him in the pantheon of the great QBs in nfl history
Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit but the dude was a great qb. He carried one of the worst rosters in the NFL for over half a decade. He won game after game of 30 plus points given up by a terrible defense. He had no choice but to force those throws late in games because he was always behind.
@@DLee84331 he said fun! Not talking about the greatness of favre. There's a difference. Romo could pick defenses apart like watch knife through butter most games.

don'tkillme please I'm just a Vibe Thanks to this Coronavirus, there is no sports action. I hope the upcoming NFL season isn’t impacted by this pandemic.
Great job FlemLo, very fair and accurate accounting for Tony's career.
Always been a Dallas fan.. kinda bummed I’m finally seeing this episode, Tony’s always been my favorite player, he gave me hope as a smaller qb, his mobility was amazing even though he wasn’t a “running” qb.
And one of the toughest dudes ever watching him play with a broken back.
I disagree with the statement that he never came up big. His defense never finished better than 15th. All of the knocks of Romo are team issues.
Facts you speaking I always bring this up when defending him. Also his o line that was old and getting beat alot making our boy rush into his signature spin move or pump fake spin move that alot of these QB stole from him. People didn't realize how good Romo was at pump faking defenders. Darren Woodson spoke on this when Romo was a 4th string on the scout team. Running the opposition offense. Made him had fits because of the pump fake and alway made the right read. My best friend defend gladly because we look at his whole situation. Dak got his end result of building around him. I hate Dak that's who average he's inaccurate always throwing behind or high over head of the wr. Dak ball placements on alot route are off throw the wrong throw on routes. Zeke would of relieve Romo then kill your defense if 8 or 9 in the box
Romo had a few top 10 defenses in his early years but once we lost wade philips it was over. Jerry made one of the worse decisions he’s ever made by hiring Jason Garrett. That is at least top 3 worse decisions in franchise history. Terrible coaching, no creativity and no adjustments during games. Garrett wasted some hall of fame talent
Veeto G so true they blame Romo win he had no supporting cast. But blame everyone except dak when he thrust ball every where and team carries him.
@@Deezboyzjustwin you sound dumb people blame dak for littlerly everything it just a cowboys hater thing to hate on every dallas quarter back
I'm That Guy I don’t hate on every cowboys quarterback but I know dak is not elites. And have bad ball placement that lose games
Finally been waiting years for this video, romo is the goat ppl say dak is the most criticized player in the nfl romo was criticized 10 times more and he was way better then dak.
That so true Dak Prescott is overrated to me because he got the finishing result of building around Romo before he got hurt and so called lost his job. Furthermore Dak don't make WRs great they make him look good and our defense that saves dak slot his first 3 years starting. Tony Romo made miles Austin a star and pro bowler that's what a franchise QB is. Dak struggled before he got amari cooper. Who he be killing with bad throws. Tony was more criticized then Romo. Dak didn't go through what Romo went through with a old o line that you can barely do a 3 step drop back comfortably. Still throw for good numbers.
Agree. Nobody gets on Dak much because he got Zeke to bail him out. If only Romo had a teammate like that smfh
Romo cant even win in the playoffs. Dak actually can
@@Sbzmike romo had demarco murray but the team ran him in the ground just like zeke then traded murray. Romo had loaded teams. Especially on the offensive side. Tony just couldn't lead and get over the hump. Dak on the other hand is a better gamer and leader. Romo going to fuck up when you need him the most. Romo is a regular season qb with nothing to show in the postseason. Dont go to the hall for regular season. Dak is already better with a higher ceiling. Thats facts. Not being racist at all but i believe its harder being qb of americas team as a black qb than any other qb in the league. Let that sink in
@@chubbsfigueroa oh and DeMarco Murray was injuries prone since Oklahoma. I watch sports dude especially college football. They play more physical then NFL anyway. DeMarco Murray only had one great year for my cowboys. Always getting injured.
I'll be a Romo fan for life and will always appreciate and never regret his time in a Cowboys uniform. I think anyone who doesn't take the time to understand his story is missing out on a valuable lesson. Chances are most of us are not going to have a kid who is first round draft pick for a sports franchise. Tony Romo's story is one I would show to my kid, for grit, determination, belief in yourself and a work ethic that doesn't quit. Not to mention how to handle yourself as a professional when everything is going wrong around you. That's how he went from undrafted to one of the top QBs in the league for the biggest sports franchise in the country. He like many others prove that your draft pick does not speak to your ability, you put in the work and earn those stripes and when you get your shot, you make the most of it.
One of the greatest videos on flems channel because of the background sound element matching with the overall career story great video man
Had Tony Romo played for any other team, he would have been universally loved. 99% of the vitriol he received was because he played with a star on his helmet.

So I've never watched your show before, never seen it before. CZcams (somehow) listed you on my home page, and now I am 2 days in from watching a lot of your videos. First off: Thanks for brining some honest insight into some of my favorite players. Second: Thanks for your research and dedication to the truth of what happened to some of these players and not playing the manipulative media game we see from most sports media outlets.
Romo was a dangerous mixture of genius quarterback mixed with erratic gunslinger. Everytime he walked to the line i felt confident he knew where everybody would be even the defense. U can even see that now when he calls games....but then there were the moments where he would try and fit that pass where it wasnt suppose to go. Smh..THAS MY QUARTERBACK😭😭
Romo had the highest wonder lic score the year he signed with Dallas!
@Jim Johnson Agreed! I remember against the Jets when Revis picked Romo because of Dez! Revis had over the top help and the safety rolled to the side Revis was and Revis jumped the route! That was all Dez"s fault because he didn't take two steps back to the ball!
the reason he was SO ERRATIC is because he had NO DEFENSE, he had to do it all
@@robogreek3157 Bingo!
I always felt like we had a chance with Tony back there
That’s my boy! I miss Romo so much behind center, so underrated and a professional all the way around
Can always count on you Flemlo to tell it like it is and to give an objective review that's still full of kindness!!
I came here to defend the greatest quarterback in my 26 years of being a cowboys fan and im glad I didn't need to 🥲
No other quarterback carried the team on his back like Tony did. Making his team competitive when many of the supporting cast sucked.
You're taking Tony Romo over Troy Aikman?
@@TheDeadPunch I understand you feel like you need to ask that question but I said what I said brother 🥰
@@cjbaker2480 It wasn't a diss. I was actually hoping for some insight. Some of my favs seem counterintuitive too. He was not boring, i'll give you that. Thanks for the reply.
@@TheDeadPunch oh well thank you, yes, I didn't watch too much of Troy Aikman but he talk a little too much shit for someone with hall of fame defenders and Irvin and Emmitt
Facts proven on the NFL website, Tony Romo has the 3rd high passer rating of all time. Facts, Tony Romo retired with a higher QBR than Peyton Manning.
RealisticNMotion and never made it to a super bowl.... 🗑
@@codycarmans4315 Superbowl making is a team thing.
@@RealisticEnt Yeah, and his team almost always sucked (except for him).
@@michael_mcgowan You're underestimating those teams. They were a playoff team before he became a starter. They definitely did not suck.
@@Kingstyles05 You are incorrect. Between 2000 and 2005, they went to the playoffs once (in 2003, losing in the wild card). From 2006 to 2015, the Cowboys were 10-29 in games without Romo and 80-54 in games with him. That's a winning percentage of about 25 compared to one of about 60. They were objectively not a playoff team without him, and sometimes a playoff team (and always in contention to be one) with him.
I think Romo could’ve been great with Sean Payton. He really was a good qb he just never quite had the coaching or the supporting cast to put it together.
Or if Bill Parcells would have stayed
He had a slew of stacked teams coaching staff I get but the teams were stacked
Agreed !!!! ........ Garrett's level of sucking is being exposed now.
Dude had to overcome Jason fucking Garret majority of his career
Bro, I love the effort you place into your research.
I listen to these everyday on my way to work...Keep duin ya thang bruh 💪🏿
Always thought Romo was a good QB and more importantly he had character. Just an all around good dude.
Romo was elite. He carried the Dallas Cowboys for a decade.
Romo was elite at losing lol
It is a team sports .
Haha carried them to 2 play-off appearances in 10 years
Elite where???
Not elite. Maybe an average starter and at times a bit above average
It actually changed the way I think of Tony Romo as a quarterback, Thanks Flemlo
I never followed Romo's Cowboys career but I do know he's one of the best NFL announcers out there. Thanks for the great recap on his career. You are by far my fave sports dude on CZcams, so damn well researched and insightful. 💯💯💯
It did. I’ve always been a Tony Romo fan. Good Quarterback, and seems like a all around good person. Good content! Can we get a “What Happened To” about Brandon Lloyd? Underrated wind receiver. Never could find a home in the NFL.
Green Crib he made some crazy ass catches too
I live in Dallas. A few years ago it iced over really bad and a couple was stranded on the side of the road while people just passed them for awhile. Someone finally pulled over to help. It was Romo. He helped them get their vehicle back on the road. Pretty cool dude
2014 divisional playoff game still hurts my feelings, was the first season I really got into football.
I always dig your perspective. You give the truth with a positive attitude.
Remember, Seattle's margin of victory in the muffed field goal game was the 2 points safety that Terry Glenn gifted the Seahawks when he fumbled backwards into the end zone from the 5 yard line. The only reason they were even competitive in that game was Romo.
There's a reason Bill Parcell's called Terry Glenn "she" 🤣😂🤣
I always, granted I'm a 9er fan... but I've always thought Tony Romo was a really good quarterback, he consistently put up numbers, I think he's unfairly criticized for being on a Cowboy team, that during his tenure, was honestly never elite.
Agreed, he showed he was better than Aaron Rodgers in 2014 but the fans were stuck in a time where he was running for his life. I really hate talking to most of my fellow Boys fans about Romo... They are simply uneducated.
It’s crazy that he has better stats than some hofers but gets called trash
If you look at all the numbers except playoff wins, he dwarfs Troy Aikman
dyl fromco Ik
@Rowdy Jr. Even though he had over twice as many TD's as he did interceptions. lol
@@generalkayoss7347 top 10 td/int ratio of all time. 8th to be exact. Pretty damn solid. This turnover machine and all this bullshit narrative they pushed on him is so stupid
@Jim Johnson He has a career passer rating of 97, 35,000 yards, 250 TD's and has an overall 78-49 record. He didn't "suck" by any metric!
Another excellent video! Great job!
Flemlo,
I want to say you keep me in touch with current and pass players from the 90's and the new millimum. You share lots of information on players I did not know any thing about. It is obvious you take the time to extensive research on every players and topics. With you doing this story on Tony Romo, I'd like to see you do a profile on Danny White. I don't know if you do profiles on players from the 70s and 80s but his career is somewhat similar to Romo's career ( minus the injuries) as he couldn't win in conference championships but had a great stats. I'd like to see a profile on Danny White. And again thanks for all the great videos you posted they are very entertaining and informative.
Romo and Dez probably one of the best wr qb duo in the NFL Romo knew how to put the ball in perfectly
Great video. I've always attempted to defend Romo in this way: not all-time great, but one of the best of his era, considering he played with the top 4 QB's ever.
Yes. This video changed the way I will now look at Tony. Good video.
I love how your videos are not biased and you just give the straight facts. I also think it’s worth mentioning that Romo never really had a championship team around him either. They lost most of the games that he didn’t play in due to injury.
A friend of mine happened to go on vacation with Romo because there wives are great friends. He didn’t know him at all before the trip but he told me Tony was super cool picked up most dinner bills and asked him to do bible study daily together.
Wow. That's actually really cool
I've grown up as a Cowboy watching him play and he's still my favorite player of all-time. He may not the most popular or successful QB, but he was amazing during his prime.
Awesome video, thanks for giving romo the love he deserves
The NFL players past and present should bow down to you and thank you for all you do for their legacy! I’m telling you this, you are by far the best NFL player commentator on the internet! Sports illustrated and ESPN alone should be drafting you and your channel and get YOUR content on TV. I just found you sitting in a hotel on a road job any I have been binge watching you every night I come off the job. Great Job Bro! Thanks for creating this content!👍👍👍✝️🇺🇸
Bro thank you so much for making this! I been tryin to talk about Romo to Cowboys for years.
You're welcome!!!
I CLICKED SO FAST, THAT I HEARD "QUE THE WAYNE" MY SCREEN SWITCHED OVER TO THE VIDEO🍿🍿🍿🍿🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
This should get a millions views EASY!
That intro wack but I fuck with the videos
Great videos man really love it
You are a great described of tony romp and you make it so interesting! Great job.
As a Cowboy fan, I couldn’t be any happier with this video. Thank you for showing respect #9
Legitimately, the most underrated QB ever.
He gets nothing but hate.
He gets nothing but hate because he accomplished nothing. He’s only a legend for the cowboys. The league will forget about him easily. Dude was not clutch enough
@@izrealtruefelicis3309
Dude had no support.
Yes, he screwed up the Seahawks hold, indefensible.
His team never helped him in the playoffs and he had to carry or lose. That's completely unreasonable to ask.
This guy could have been a borderline hall of famer with the right team around him and he's talked about like he's trash.
TBSandNFL Exactly. Woulda coulda shoulda. I personally don’t hate him, always had such a good smile and cool personality. It was just a shame he didn’t do so well. People who are running the cowboys are just horrible. Terrible organization.
@@izrealtruefelicis3309 terrible organization?... 😂😂
Hands down most valuable franchise in the NFL..
Taco Tom Valuable and terrible are two different terms.
Great upload, I enjoy your show.
You have an insightful mind. Worth subscribing ☮️
Tony was my guy mannnn, Never had a Oline or DEFENSE til his ending years.... When he got Dez it was end game
Boy the Dallas under Bill Parcel yal had a top 10 defense and offense. What are you talking about. Yal defense was load . Yal had like 10-15 probowl from offense and defense.
trueGrizzlesFAN22 these people don’t know shit about football, their defense had names like Demarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer and Sean Lee. Also the offensive live carried Demarco Murray’s entire stunt in Dallas, after he left he turned to shreds
@@nahommehari2868 having names on defense doesnt make it good all together. Reminds me of last year's cowboys. From 2006-2014. They had only 1 top 10 defense.
I’m a cowboys fan, tony romo is my favorite player ever and now my favorite broadcaster ever I’m a Texican my mom is Mexican my dad is white
This nigga
Love the Chanel, great content 💯💯💯👍🏾
Great video brother
I don't care what anyone says, Tony's my GOAT. That's my quarterback, man. That's my quarterback.
I miss see him making plays for us. You couldn't give 9 n 88 +40 sec on the clock trailing by 2 to 6pts comeback duo. 4 n 19 can't match that which been proven. Cooper a great route runner but he soft. Dez was a dog like Romo was a warrior competitor
Fuck yes. Romo was my fuckin dude. Been defending his honor since day one. People slept on him big time when he was playing.
Yes! That is my MF QB! I always wanted to see Romo duel off with Brady in the superbowl I really believed he could've won it too
I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan and Tony is one of my all-time favorite players. Love the cat!
Well done vids, homie put his work in
Romo is a great success story,
but I think FlemLo's is just as interesting.
Thank-you for the professional videos.
It’s because he was the QB for the most talked about team in NFL history. Everyone on that team is held to a higher level due to the support of their fans and the haters that for some reason, just hate them with a passion.
If Romo was on any other team, people would be saying he was Marino Jr basically. Great QB that never got a ring.
Nope. Cowboys are media darlings. That partly because they are the most popular team. And that is partly due to the image the world has of America, western movies, and a cowboy being the mascot.
But, Romo was a good qb. But he was never to the level that the league wanted him to be from a marketing stand point. Never to the level that corporations wanted from a marketing stand point. And never to the level cowboy fans wanted from an image stand point. Bill Parcells said at one point he wasn't sure if he wanted to be a great q or a celebrity qb. Other players on defense from other teams felt he thought he was better than he was.
Romo was like Jeff Garcia. A good qb, but not considered great. But nobody was going to say when is Jeff Garcia going to take the 49ers to the super bowl because of where he was and where he was. And he wasn't on the level that is going to take a team to the length that a Marino could with the same team.
And his reputation or legacy is hurt by as soon as he because the starter, then it was endorsement deals all over the place. Not because of what he did on the field, but because he was a commodity being the next starting cowboy qb. And yes, they prefer them to be a white guy. So he didn't suck. He wasn't great. He was good. Like a Jeff Garcia. Who nobody thinks about. But nobody says he sucks either.
Cowboys fans still til this day hold everyone to a high standard as if they were the next Staubauch, Irvin, Aikmen, smith, pearson, sanders, etc. For them not to go to the super bowl in almost 30 years, it’s pretty frustrating for Americas Team
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Aikman is a 3x Superbowl champion and a HOFer. How is he not as accomplished as Romo exactly?
Dallas is media darlings for the fact that every other fan base hates them. Just imagine a NFL without the Dallas reports, it would be dead.
@@gregorylagrange Comparing him to Garcia is a bit disrespectful.
His best year was 2014. Hands down.
CT COWBOYS let’s get real, Trump envies the wall of an offensive line he had that season
@@aaronscarpa7469 and? He took advantage of it. He was pretty much flawless that season...1st in every qb category. Should've been MVP.
John Pollock, not doubting that! I’m a Romo defender. That was more of a statement about that offensive line.
@@johnpollock1083 I remember being baffled when he wasn't considered for most MVP voting, he lit it up in 2014
@@Fakeaugie he was runner up behind Rodgers. But he should've won it..and im not even being biased.
Thank you for his story, I am truly inspired
Thank you!! Romo was a hidden legend.
