Romo Likes Dolphins

How about that. I agree with Tony Romo on something.

I’m anticipating quite a leap myself.

He might say that now, but listen to how he salivates all over the Patriots on Sunday. I thought that he'd rise above that, but he's as bad as the rest of them.

He has to say that about every team.

he's also had how many concussions and been sacked how many times?

Does anyone really care what an overhyped, underperforming, choke artist of a quarterback has to say?

I liked him as a player a lot. And I liked what his personality seemed to be. But once he got on air, it's been nothing but licking the patriots boots like every other announcer.

To each his own as to what some likes or dislikes. I just never liked Romo as a player and that translates to my dislike for him as an analyst.

As a player his abilities were way over blown, he was never clutch and so many sports writers and announcers tried so hard to prop him up there with the likes Favre, Manning, Brees and Brady.

He choked more than someone at a Nathan’s Hotdog Eating Contest. Why the Cowboys stuck with him as long as they did is beyond me.

Just my opinion

I really enjoy him as a commentator...I think he’s passionate and insightful, and interesting.

Best ever in the business in my opinion, and his salary reflects that.

Really? Like I said, I liked him as a player both on and off the field, but I think that he's been highly overrated as an announcer. Raspy voice, and he just hypes up the same teams as everyone else.

His analysis of the game in real time is unparalleled in my opinion.

He'll hype us too if we're... ya know... good.

I'd much rather have honesty and depth regardless. Instead of constantly talking about how a couple of teams are awesome non stop, I want the media covering each game to give both teams equal time.

Well I agree completely with this. He was a good QB but definitely the guy that the stage seemed to big for him. Big time choke artist.

However, I really like him as an analyst.

I enjoy listening to Romo because he can actually give a little bit of depth to his commentating...what the QB saw, who blew an assignment, why a QB audibles, etc. I enjoy the extra insights.

Those who are going negative on Romo here...are we really to a point where we're bashing someone for saying the Dolphins will be good this year? That's not something we hear very often and I'm not sure why anyone would complain.

Because the people complaining are still upset that we drafted Tua, let go of Tannehill and can't fathom the mere possibility that Grier is building something powerful with Flores at the helm.

A positive opinion by the smartest guy in the booth and former player is to be looked down upon!

I think Sunday's game will be a good litmus test to see where we are.

I completely get that we got A LOT of talent, but I also think that we are essentially an expansion team. We are very, very young, and a lot of our vets were not here last season. I think that are probably the team that was hurt the most by missing preseason games.

Is it possible that we come out and get destroyed? Yup. It took Flores time to get THAT team together last season. The problem is, I essentially think that team is gone.
Is it possible that we come out and lose a competitive game? Yup.
Is it possible that we come out and win? Yes. I think the Patriots are the opposite of us. I think their best players are getting older and regressing whereas our best players are young and getting better.

I like Romo as a commentater. I learn from him and he enjoys the sport. I think he is a great color guy.

As a player the dude was a UDFA. Hard to say he underperformed.

I fully expect Miami to compete for the AFC E this year.

They were the best team in the division the last quarter of the season last year with a cast off, practice squad roster. They have a vastly improved defense and the OL physically can't be worse than it was last year. We also have two solid RB's on the roster to open it up.

Fitzpatrick was Superman the back half of the season - I expect him to continue rolling... Although if he does go down I'm even more excited about Tua coming in and dominating.

It's gonna be a fanfuckingfastic season fellas! Get onboard the hype train.

And not just a UDFA either. He was only on the Cowboys radar because Sean Payton is also an Eastern Illinois alum and liked him when he saw him play. Otherwise, the story is that he likely would have never even gotten a training camp shot. Then he spent a year on the Dallas practice squad, a second year mostly on the PS but dressed as the 4rd QB for a few games, and then in his third year dressed as the third QB but never saw the field. He finally got to play at age 26, in his 4th year out of college, when Drew Bledsoe got hurt.

To be honest the high expectations on Fitzpatrick makes me think he is going to fail miserably. Like 4 TDs and 11 ints in the first three games miserably.

I think COVID-19 favors better coaching. Play well when the normal planning and preparation process is disrupted and I think you have evidence of a good HC.

So the first few weeks of play is for me a litmus test of how good Flores is. Not win or lose, but how well prepared and competitive we are regardless of scoreline. So I really hope to see competitive and smart play regardless of scoreline in these first few weeks as I think that suggests we may have a keeper at HC.

I know your stance on him.. And that's OK.. But have an open mind to him elevating the offense this year too. He did last year.
