Terrell Owens taking a shot at a quarterback who once threw him the football? No way. That is an absolute shock.

In response to the praise of Tony Romo for his prowess in the booth as a color commentator during last weekend's AFC Championship Game, Owens gave his former Dallas Cowboys signal-caller a backhanded compliment.

“It’s one thing to call the game in booth, and actually be in action, and recognize those coverages, access what’s going on,” said Owens on NFL Network's Total Access, per Burke Downer of Cowboys Wire. “But I think again, you have to deliver the ball accurately and decisively. And I think that’s what makes him great in the booth as opposed to what he did on the football field.”

Owens played with Romo from three years from 2006 through 2008, making the Pro Bowl and earning First-Team All-Pro honors in 2007.

He didn't have anything bad to say about Romo during his playing years, but now, Owens is letting loose as an analyst.

“He had situations where he always threw interceptions late in the games,” he added. “So again, it’s about decision making. It’s about how accurate and where you throw the ball.”

Gonna be honest here: while Terrell Owens is a blowhard at times, he isn't 100 percent wrong here.

Romo has always taken criticism for his inability to win big games, as evidenced by the fact that he collected just two playoff wins during his career. He was also chastised for doing exactly what Owens said: throwing crucial interceptions in key moments.
