collinsworth is a fine color commentator, though a bit wordy, and aikman is also a fine color commentator, romo is better then both fo them overall since he brings recent experience to the booth. as time goes on he will lose a bit of that edge, unless he continues to prepare by watching game film as a good quarterback should.
as for gruden, he needs to go away, he sucks as a color commentator.
Agreed, but I don't see Romo staying in the booth as long as most. I figure he'll give it a few years and move on. He strikes me as a guy that will want to do something else. Maybe golf, or front office in the nfl.
i like his enthusiasm - not over the top like Gruden, but when listening to Romo he sounds more like the guy you're sitting next at a sportbar making comments - not overly complex, kind of relaxed, and having a good time watching. Not sure if he deserves the Superbowl or an important game. I wouldn't have put him in the #1 spot - he should have worked his way up.
100% agree with this.
In his interviews here on 105.3 the Fan, he didn't sound like a multi-million dollar NFL quarterback. He sounded like "one of the guys" and was easily approachable. He would go on about football and has plenty of knowledge to bring.
Ok- my premonitions were wrong after hearing him for the first time last night; couldn't believe initially he could just slide right in as a #1 analyst. But besides the fact that there is nobody- and I mean NOBODY on the other modern day CBS broadcast teams that is exciting or insightful, Romo is a breath of fresh air. He puts excitement into the broadcast without being over the top; he is insightful, off the cuff, willing to call out players and coaches if he disagrees- none of which characterized Phil Simms- how it took so so long for CBS to cut ties with a terrible and boring analyst like Simms, I'll never understand- but perhaps it was worth the wait! Very pleasantly surprised by Romo's performance last night.
All of the second fiddles do...except maybe Collinsworth.
That's why Collinsworth is my favorite play by play analyst.
