Tony Romo is much better than Troy Aikman at the job

[D4KADON]

Aikman was more horrific than usual yesterday. The game drags and some of the comments are downright frustrating and borderline moronic.

thank god they are no longer on fox. Romo on CBS puts Troy to shame

No, he isn't.

Weird hearing Troy and Buck on MNF.

That being said, they do nothing for me to watch MNF unless Dallas is playing.

 

[Cumart21]

There are opportunities for insight during the broadcast and Troy often opts for sarcasm. Then his little buddy Buck joins in. Surface level football stuff with no insight.

 

[HungryLion]

I love Aikman.

That whole network, stadium, ref crew and everyone else in the area were hoping so hard for Dallas to lose last night Making the win that much sweeter

Now there's a thread title I thought I would never see.

I'm a fan of Aikman....Joe Buck is very hit or miss, but I enjoy Aikman. Wish they were still doing the fox games though. Mondays I'm switching it up between the regular broadcast and the Manning show on ESPN2.

Aikman is a legend as a Dallas Cowboy, better than Romo ever was. But he is awful as a broadcaster. But most suck anyways.

 

[RS12]

I watched the Manning cast. Peyton ad libs pretty well and offered good insight. Eli more of a sidekick. Jimmy was a guest in a good segment. Thought they went a little too long with Pat McAfee and the guy from SNL. Bottom line besides radio there are alternatives to the ESPN broadcast.

 

[CouchCoach]

Disagree, Aikman learned to be a broadcaster and Romo hasn't done that yet.

People love Aikman the guy so it’s hard for them to separate how boring he is in the booth.
He’s more polished than Romo but for me, he’s way too polished. Just speaks in generalities instead of really taking us inside what’s happening. Romo will explain to you what’s going on in real time. Aikman goes off a script.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Troy seems cognitively impaired sometimes. May be the concussions.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Having Buck in the booth does nobody any favors. Dude is horrible.

 

[MS17]

I love Troy and he is an asset and adds much to the NFL broadcasts. But last night was the first time Ive heard a gaffe from him (about Indiana Hoosier football). He was extremely apologetic, took ownership and moved on. Showed a human side.

 

[dfense]

Troy's eyes were bloodshot red again at the half camera time. Enjoying the fruits of his labor.

 

[dreghorn2]

My biggest gripe about the game last night was ESPN's broadcast not showing replays!

A football broadcast has to do two things, show the play and show the replay -- if there is time for other shots fine -- but show the damn replays.

ESPN is terrible.

 

[NumOneQB]

Not even close. Romo walks in wings it. No preparation before hand.

 

[cowboysfan99]

I usually like Aikman, but I'll agree last night the commentary wasn't the best.

I really don't like care for any broadcasters other than Gus Johnson who rules. Daryl Johnston with Tony Siragusa on the sideline was fun as well.

 

[Dallasfann]

Not even close. Romo walks in wings it. No preparation before hand.

I think that's why a lot of people actually like him. He understands way more about football then anyone at the bar but talks like a guy would sitting next to you at the bar.
