When Romo first joined CBS in 2017, he quickly became a fan favorite due to his ability to tell fans what would happen before football went off the air. Over the past few years, he hasn’t been able to do as much as offensive schemes have changed dramatically in the NFL.

Not only has Romo lost his fastball in the booth, but he has been accused of favoring Patrick Mahomes over every other player in the league. Their appreciation for the three-time Super Bowl champions was on display this Thanksgiving.
During Thursday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys, countless people complained about Romo’s commentary. He thought he was on top in all four quarters.
Should CBS move on from Romo?
Although there is no indication that a change will be made, Romo has received enough feedback that CBS may eventually consider a move.

Sam Monson of the 33rd team said, “I’m grateful that most NFL games don’t include Tony Romo on commentary.”
Zack Kelberman of Mile High Huddle commented, “Tony Romo’s fall from best analyst in the game to fearless cheerleader needs to be studied.”
“I’m way ahead of Tony Romo,” another person wrote on X. “His comments are the equivalent of your car running out of gas and then the low fuel light going off.”

One Chiefs fan said, “Tony Romo’s overly dramatic gimmicks are incredibly annoying.” “You can’t call every game the biggest game of the year and call every game the biggest game of the year, it’s become so cliché.”
Another fan at CBS tweeted, “Please fire Tony Romo.”
NFL fans will get a chance to hear Romo on commentary once again this Sunday when the Buffalo Bills take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Hopefully, Romo will redeem himself.
