I have enormous respect for Tony Romo (the guy has received and continues receiving an unfathomable amount of unnecessary criticism). However, I believe there are people who have not followed the Pro Football Hall of Fame Board of Selectors (BoS) nomination and induction process and extremely overestimate his chance of getting into the Hall on the strength of his current broadcasting career.
Projecting his entry into the franchise's Ring of Honor is a no-brainer. Jones is the only judge for getting into the Ring. Jones loves Romo, although Jones' appreciation wavered momentarily during 2016. Jones is only waiting for what he thinks is the right time to pull the trigger. It is a done deal in my opinion.
On the OTHER hand, the BoS controls entry into the Hall. There are decades of examples for why Romo will not pass their eligibility test if it is weighed solely with Romo's stature and popularity in NFL broadcasting as contributor criteria. Additionally, there is an even unlikely possibility the BoS will seriously get into a long discussion of hypothetically combining Romo's playing career with his post-career in broadcasting alone. That perception is simply not reflected in actual Hall of Fame nominations and enshrinements.
Romo has taken an undeniably solid first step towards the Hall. Currently, he squats at the peak of the NFL broadcasting mountain but he must work towards reaching the moon to finish that possible journey. Or reach the international space station at the very least. I have faith that Romo could do so but it also depends on whether he WANTS to expand his resume well beyond what he does now. And no one knows if that will happen until Romo does significantly more on camera than simply sharing a booth with Jim Nantz.
