nope, no way, sorry Tony/.

You are projecting. As of right now, including his broadcasting career, he has not earned Pro Football HoF honors. Another 10 years in the broadcast business isn't going to change that. Tony is only 40 y/o. Maybe if he broadcasts 25 years he will be worthy of the HoF.to be fair, romo is at least 10:years away from The HoF. Based on his playing years and his sports broadcasting career.
everyone knows who Tony Romo is.
he needs the RoH first.
No, he doesn't have impressive numbers. He has volume yardage, that's about it.Eli Manning has impressive numbers too. Also has 2 rings and beat Brady TWICE.
He's 7th all time in Touchdowns and Passing Yards. 7th in completion. That's better than any Cowboy. How is that not impressive?No, he doesn't have impressive numbers. He has volume yardage, that's about it.
No doubt, Eli has very good volume numbers.He's 7th all time in Touchdowns and Passing Yards. 7th in completion. That's better than any Cowboy. How is that not impressive?
I agree with all the above. Factor in his two rings he’s a lock. I think he’s the Jerome Bettis of quarterbacks.No doubt, Eli has very good volume numbers.
Not at all impressive year to year.....pretty average....but when you add average up 16 years, you get a lot of volume numbers by just showing up.
Add the rings (even if it was mainly defenses) you have a guy who is much more likely to make the HOF before a far better QB, but who had no rings or a ton of years, such as Romo.
On a year to year basis, Eli was actually a bit worse than Andy Dalton.
But he played longer
I'm taking playoff Eli over playoff Romo tho.I agree with all the above. Factor in his two rings he’s a lock. I think he’s the Jerome Bettis of quarterbacks.
And I’d take Romo any day is the week over Eli but I don’t know if I’d say he’s far better or was anyway.
Yeah I am too. I want no parts of playoff Romo. Regular season Romo was money....except in December.I'm taking playoff Eli over playoff Romo tho.
Yet Romo was better than Eli in every single PLAYOFF stat that didn't require either to play defense or special teams. It wasnt by a mile like it was in the regular season ,but it was better across the boardI'm taking playoff Eli over playoff Romo tho.
The problem with the Fouts comparison is you aren't considering where Fouts stood in history at the time he retired. He was #2 in all time passing yards, and #4 in all time TDs. That's why he was able to get in without a Super Bowl - because he was statistically so far up the list at the time. The same kind of situation applies with Moon.I think he’s a hall of famer down the line. I’ve already said, if Fouts got in, Romo gets in. Romo retired as the 4th highest rated passer all time, 5th all time ypa, 5th in completion percentage.
A friend of mine has researched Romo’s career heavily and basically come to the conclusion that he is the best player to not win a super bowl and has a lot of criteria similar to other QBs in the Hall.
Quarterbacks from 1960-2018 that have the following:
- 200+ touchdown passes
- Passing titles (ex: led league in yards passing, completion pct etc)
- Ranked top 2 in stats multiple times in career
- Made All Pro Team (1st or 2nd Team)
- Ranked Top 5 All Time in Career Stats
Tom Brady
Joe Montana
Steve Young
John Elway
Dan Marino
Len Dawson
Warren Moon
Dan Fouts
Fran Tarkenton
Peyton Manning
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees
Brett Favre
Kurt Warner
Matt Ryan
Tony Romo
When looking at a player's career, I think this is a great way to measure statistical success. If you want to say "a Super Bowl appearance makes you great". Ok. Let's look at the qbs of that era that at least made it (besides the obvious Brady, Peyton etc):
Trent Dilfer, Kerry Collins, Brad Johnson, Chris Chandler, Rec Grossman, Joe Flacco, Jeff Hostetler, Stan Humphries, Jake Delhomme, Matt Hasselbeck, Nick Foles...REALLY???? Stop the nonsense! Yes there are really good ones like Rothlisberger, Eli, McNabb, Gannon, McNair etc but let's be real. Numbers don't lie. People do. Jim Plunkett has multiple rings. Fouts and Moon have never been to a Super Bowl.
Romo has led the league in passer rating, yards per attempt, completion percentage and game winning drives.
Best December in Cowboy QB history in 2014....by farYeah I am too. I want no parts of playoff Romo. Regular season Romo was money....except in December.
Thank you for the morning laughI think he’s a hall of famer down the line. I’ve already said, if Fouts got in, Romo gets in. Romo retired as the 4th highest rated passer all time, 5th all time ypa, 5th in completion percentage.

All these stats are true and no matter how you slice it (time-adjusted for era or not) Romo always ends up on lists surrounded by HOFers.I think he’s a hall of famer down the line. I’ve already said, if Fouts got in, Romo gets in. Romo retired as the 4th highest rated passer all time, 5th all time ypa, 5th in completion percentage.

2014 was a lot of things. It ended up with a loss in the first round as usual but he was great in 2014. Never denied that.Best December in Cowboy QB history in 2014....by far
