Unpopular Opinion: Troy Aikman is a good commentator

He's a square and a little up tight but I still prefer him over Romo. He provides very good analysis. Romo is the opposite. Personality driven commentary.

I thought he was good maybe 10-15 years ago

Aikman makes observations but they don't get in the way..like tonight he'll say the middle is wide open the QB needs to recognize that or his receivers alert him.

Romo on the other hand...the middle is wide open, they need to audible to X,Y,Z...red right 88, ghost to the post.

And then as the play is happening, Romo talks over it.

He’s turned into John Madden, he’s good but says a lot of obvious things.

Compared to 90% of the rest college and pro, he is one of the best. Have you heard some of these noon Sunday guys besides romo and nance and the Sunday night crew? Aikman is elite. Goes well with Buck

One thing I like about Aikman and Buck is their less is more approach. They don't feel the need to talk all the time, and I appreciate just watching the game and hearing the crowd noise without needless commentary when there's action on the field.

I think Aikman and Romo are both good in different ways, Romo being a little more upbeat and energetic can make a slow game more interesting to watch, while Aikman's laid back approach can let a great game speak for itself.

I will say though, Aikman and Buck can be a rough listen during a really slow game, really makes it a chore to watch when neither guy brings a lot of energy into the booth.

Infinitely better than Chris Collinsworth who just wont shut the hell up.

And he chortles in the middle of most sentences

Anybody is better than CC
