While many people will point out the Dallas Cowboys’ lack of postseason success with Tony Romo at the helm, it shouldn’t take away from a legendary career and arguably the most productive Quarterback in the history of the most illustrious franchise in football. Tony Romo dealt with many injuries throughout his career and the 4x Pro Bowler finally had enough in 2017 when he called it a career and wound up joining the CBS Broadcast booth where he’s become the highest-paid commentator in the game. His post-playing career now looks like it might have more potential than his playing days did.
ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN DALLAS COWBOYS’ FRANCHISE HISTORY
When people look back at the greatest QBs of the first two decades in the 21st century, Tony Romo’s name won’t be remembered in the same light as Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, or Ben Roethlisberger. However, none of those players could say they were the franchise QB for the No.1 franchise in football.
The Dallas Cowboys are “America’s Team” and even when they haven’t had on-field success, they’ve still managed to maintain a brand that is synonymous with being in the spotlight. Romo was in the center of that spotlight for 13 years until 2017 when he called it a career as the Cowboys all-time leader in passing yards and TDs and now looks to cement his legacy as one of the greatest football commentators of all-time.
