If Tony Romo retired today, would he be HOF material?

[LittleD]

Jerry might put him into the ring of honor though sometime...

Without multiple SB's, Romo has no chance because the public hates him and hall voters follow the public in most cases. Don't see it happening now as he gets older and the team gets worse.

[ABQCOWBOY]

Not even one ring would get him there IMO. Too many people have a negative opinion of him. He would have to win multiple championships IMO. Remember, Cowboy Fans are not the ones who do the voting.

Not no, but Hell no. He has done nothing to deserve it.

[Primetime42]

No, but contrary to popular belief, he's got plenty of time.

Heck we question Eli getting in and he already has 2.

Romo's reputation is so bad, I'm very doubtful he will ever get consideration with just one Lombardi.

Somehow, imagining Romo with a Lombardini seems even more pie in the skype than he getting into the HOF.
Time to seriously start beating the bushes for the next Kalpaernick for us.

one championship would change alot of opinions...lebron

Eli is most likely getting in. The difference between Romo and Eli where stats are concerned is vast. Just don't see how you can keep a guy out who has an all-time top 5 passer rating if ends up with a championship too. IOW, stats alone don't mean a damn thing, but coupled with a SB they do. That's coming from someone who is not a huge fan of Romo's game.

Eli has alot better chance though, and would be considered even right now.

Romo probably wouldn't get in with one ring cause haters would say the one was a fluke or something. Romo has an uphill battle when it comes to public perception, and anything to do with the HOF or even ProBowl consideration is based on public perception.

Right now, the public doesn't even consider Romo a top 10 QB much less a HOFer.

[TheFinisher]

Sorry, Romo has zero chance of getting into the hall. Fair or not, he is recognized as the biggest choker in modern American sports. Like people say, all his bad moments seem to come on national TV... On the biggest stages. I feel bad for Tony but there's nothing he can do to repair his image, that legacy was cemented in most people's eyes 3 weeks ago in DC.

Well I am a fan of Romo's game, but I just don't see him getting the votes unless the Superbowl win that he gets is considered to be cause he put us on his back.

If the win is cause he was the bus driver, then it is doubtful. You are talking perception here, and if he puts his team on his back then people will give him more props.

If he did, the HOF Bust would have him with a helmet on, looking downward, with slumped shoulders.

Unfortunately, I don't think time will tell who's right...

Unfortunately, I think this is true. While some of the blame is on Tony, I think the amount of negativity thrown his way is undeserved.

[Coy]

Right now the better question would be, Does he get into the Ring of Honor?

If by nothing, you mean SB Championships, then you are correct.

But then you'd be saying the same for Moon and Marino.
