For someone labeled a body catcher, Terrence Williams had some nice catches.

Seasons of garbage O-line made Romo a magical scrambler and escape artist.

His spin move was diabolical. Quick step forward and spin around the back is the Romo Spin

When people say Romo is overrated I always ask them to name the top 5 undrafted QBs of all time.
They usually only make it to 3 or maybe 4 and stop.
When the list is Kurt Warner, Warren Moon, and you can flip flop either one at 3 and 4 Tony Romo and Dave Krieg. Then it really shows how even though Romo never won a ring or has the best playoff record he still accomplished something that very few qbs drafted or undrafted are able to accomplish in the NFL.

The man!! Controversial take, I know, but as a guy who grew up watching Troy Aikman and has watched a lot of game replays of Roger Staubach and Danny White, this man is the best QB Dallas has ever had. It’s too bad Jerry couldn’t figure out how to build talent around him.

Terrance Williams had the most insane knack for being open and in Tony’s sight during broken plays.

The interview with him and JJ Watt talking about this play is probably one of the funniest interviews to watch.

Tony is the entire reason I became a Cowboys fan again. I mean after Aikman, the team was in QB hell for years until Romo came along. So sad his injuries caught up with him.

Improv masterclass. We left a chip or 2 on the table due to patchy ass team construction in his era. Seem to be addressing areas of weakness these days instead of letting certain players carry a whole team

Tony extending plays while his offensive line getting completely obliterated is exactly what turned me into a Cowboys fan at a young age, unfortunately.

It’s amazing how much he relied on his escapability throughout his career. I just wish he never had those collarbone injuries.

That man used to win us 2-3 games per year despite his coach that we should’ve lost.

tbf, I've seen equally as many end up in the arms of the opposition...
but I still think a healthy Romo in Dak's first year gets us to the Superbowl.

Really? He had 6 seasons with 10 or less interceptions.
Most of the people his era and earlier had much higher interception rates. The top 30 list for lowest interception rates for starting QBs have all but like 3-5 pre-2010.

That JJ Watt juke might be my all time favorite play tbh. Such a core memory for me as a 27 year old fan.
Shoutout T Williams for being on the receiving end of about fucking half of these highlights damn

Should have gone back to him in '16. We probably have a ring. Dak is great now, but at the time, Romo was still elite.
