During yesterday show about halfway through we suddenly got the news that Tony Romo was going to retire and move into the broadcast booth ice surmise speculated that it would be CBS that he would join and that he would replace Phil Sims and take over alongside Jim nance yesterday there was a press conference that confirmed that in fact will happen.

And so after months of talking about what was going to be the fallout of Tony Romo after his injury against the LA Rams after being replaced by Dak Prescott after his tearful video that he gave out where he acknowledged that Dak Prescott was the starter for the Dallas Cowboys would he go to the Houston Texans would he go to the Denver Broncos so much time spent discussing what was going to happen with Tony Romo's future and also what the fallout would be in the NFL.

And now we're here and I'm going to get into whether or not I actually believe that Tony Romo will stay retired. Here's a hint I don't believe that I think at some point in time he will take another snap as a starter in the NFL.

I really do believe that. But more interesting to me is the immediate response from so many people across the country.

A knee jerk reaction at least I saw it yesterday on my Twitter feed and I think there's probably a lot of it nationwide that Tony Romo is a failure because he doesn't have a championship that somehow his lack of success in the postseason he only won two playoff games means that as a quarterback he was not successful.

And this is one of the problems I think we have with the way that we rank the way careers end. I was talking with Derek Dooley some of you may remember when I talked with Derek Dooley and did an interview on my outkick the show Facebook live and periscope we had a sit down for a couple of hours we basically answered every question you can possibly imagine about his 10 year at Tennessee and Derek Dooley is actually now the wide receivers coach with the Dallas Cowboys.

And during that talk we hit on something that I thought was was pretty interesting and it was this so many people define whether or not they're successful based on how a decision ends.

How a job finishes and they don't think about the trajectory that led them to that place and with that in mind I want to dive back in with you and make you kind of reconsider whatever you may think about Tony Romo.

Let's go back in time to win Tony Romo is an undrafted free agent from Eastern Illinois.

Do you know what his signing bonus was with the Dallas Cowboys $10,000.

He was the longest of the long shots not to ever start a game at quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys but just to make the team.

Think about where Tony Romo was when he walked for the first time into the Dallas Cowboy building a $10,000 signing bonus.

The odds of him making the team infinitesimally small no one had ever heard of him.

And here we are now with Tony Romo leaving to take over the lead broadcast spot at CBS over a decade later 14 years later whatever the math is, things about 14 years.

And he's now a transcendent legendary superstar who owns every Dallas Cowboy passing record not Roger Staubach not Troy Ackman but Tony Romo.

In fact, I can make an argument to you that other than Kurt Warner Tony Romo is the most successful undrafted free agent in the history of the NFL.

Certainly at the quarterback position there are only two guys that I can think of in a modern era that are undrafted free agents that have turned into Pro Bowl stud quarterbacks for multiple years.

Kurt Warner whose time as quarterback actually has more ups and downs than Tony Romo's in other words, Romo has been more consistent once he got the job.

Everyone forgets that Kurt Warner was benched with the St. Louis Rams. Everyone forgets that Kurt Warner was benched with the Arizona Cardinals.

And while he had moments of pure bliss as a quarterback winning the Super Bowl taking the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl winning playoff games with Arizona.

He also had moments where he was not very good at all.
