Story Highlights:

Tony Romo dismissed the idea that Jerry Jones is solely to blame for the Cowboys’ 30-year Super Bowl drought, pointing instead to systematic issues.

CBS Sports broadcaster, Romo has earned praise from Jim Nantz, who called working with him the most fun of his career.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has shared his opinion on the idea that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones played a pivotal role in the Cowboys 30-year Super Bowl drought.

In a segment in the new Netflix documentary series "America's Team," Romo said the following:

"Those teams have been good enough to win the Super Bowl. They just needed that one play, that one quarter that gets you over the hump. You want to blame Jerry for those things? It's hard for me to ever think that."

 

 

Romo was the regular starting quarterback for the Cowboys between 2006 and 2015, after being roped by the side in 2003 as an undrafted free agent.

During his 10 seasons as the starter, Romo was unsuccessful to break this streak.

He guided the Cowboys to the postseason on four occasions and managed to win just two of the six postseason games. The best he could do was reach the divisional round on two occasions.

While one could, as Romo puts it, blame the drought on a bad play or quarter, this would be acceptable if the team was frequently making the Super Bowl or the conference championship.

Here, one play could very much be the difference between victory and defeat, with the losers learning from this mistake.

One should not apply this to the Cowboys. They have been consistent in their postseason struggles, so much so that one can not truly blame it on a bad play. It has to be something systematically wrong.

Jim Nantz reflects on his relationship with Tony Romo

Now retired, Tony Romo has taken his talent to the booth and has become one of the best NFL announcers. Romo works for CBS Sports and is normally paired with broadcasting legend Jim Nantz.

Jim Nantz opens up on his relationship with Romo:

"(I've) never had more fun, in my career, than I’m having with Tony.”

 

 

Romo has been able to utilize his football experience to enhance his broadcasts. He has ever been known to call the plays before the snap is taken.

These have only helped him become part of the leading broadcast team for CBS, giving Nantz and Romo the biggest games on the network and the Super Bowl.
