Former NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe has taken a shot at his successor with the Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo.

During an appearance on ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown," Bledsoe opened up about his own experiences of being replaced by younger quarterbacks. He recalled his time with the New England Patriots, where he was eventually replaced by Tom Brady, and with the Cowboys, where Tony Romo took over the starting job.
Bledsoe expressed his disagreement with then-Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells' decision to replace him with Romo, saying that Romo's attitude changed once he became the starter.
"If you’re watching this Romo, you know this is true. The minute he became the starter, he became pretty big in his own mind," Bledsoe said during the segment. "He was no longer the curious and inquisitive guy. That was the difference between him and (Tom Brady). Tommy became the starter, he still was asking all the questions, where all of a sudden Romo was the guy that had all the answers."
Bledsoe's comments have sparked some controversy, with some fans and analysts defending Romo's legacy. Romo had a successful career with the Cowboys, leading them to the playoffs several times and earning Pro Bowl honors. However, he was also criticized for his tendency to make mistakes in big games.
Romo's representatives have not yet responded to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Bledsoe joined the Cowboys following three seasons with the Buffalo Bills. He started and played each of the team’s 16 games during the 2005 season. However, he was removed from the team’s Week 6 game against the New York Giants in 2006 and never played again.
At the onset of the 2006 season, Romo had not thrown a pass in the regular season.
Romo spent the rest of his career with the Cowboys, becoming a fan favorite and one of the most successful quarterbacks in franchise history. He retired in 2016 due to a back injury and is now a color analyst for CBS.
Bledsoe's comments have reignited the debate over whether Romo was a better quarterback than Bledsoe. While both quarterbacks had their strengths and weaknesses, there is no doubt that Romo was a more successful player statistically. However, Bledsoe's comments suggest that he believes Romo's success may have come at the expense of his humility.
