Romo is probably the best analyst I’ve ever heard in any sport.
—Few ex coaches or players bring up technical details as he does. I don’t know why, but they don’t. They’re immersed in minutiae while playing and coaching, but when they broadcast, they sound off half-assed sports’ cliches.
—He always mentions something new that perhaps viewers haven’t thought about all the while predicting plays based on formations and pre-snap movement.
—While other analysts and play by play people question why a team manages the clock they way it does, Romo lists WHY both teams would p,ay it the way they did giving the benefit of the doubt to people making very quick, complex decisions. He ALWAYS has a counter for when someone says, “Why didn’t they call timeout there?”
—He’s extremely personable in the way he sounds, and while it’s obvious he knows more than the viewer ever will, he doesn’t sound condescending to the play-by-play man or to the audience.
—He was extremely underrated as a player because his team didn’t win. Obviously, the pkayer with the most power to decide games has to share in any blame, he acquits himself extraordinarily well in advanced metrics in late Gs w situations, under pressure (QBR when being blitzed for example)
