A perspective on Romo's career to the DC and NFL

I found this on NFL.com as an interesting perspective on Romo's career and value at the QB position. This is not posted to start an argument on Romo's case for HOF but does lend thought to his NFL career. Warning: It stings a little to watch in in some parts. To this day I despise Patrick Crayton.

Patrick Crayton owes everything to Tony Romo. He doesn't get that big contract in San Diego if Romo didn't make him look like something he never was.

And Miles Austin, Cole Beasley, Dez Bryant, and Sam Hurd.

And how much does Witten owe his success to Romo?

Witten had 980 yards and 6 TDs as a sophomore in 2004 with Vinny Testaverde.

I think it's safe to say he'd be alright anywhere he went.

He has no case


He should never be a finalist

Ahhh Gmeovr, I've seen your hate on Romo. Not going to argue with you only by using Joe Walsh logic, "You can't argue with a sick mind". Have a good day.

But he's still in our hearts and still around here to pester the 5%ers and that's priceless.

If only the great Danny White had gotten the same treatment.

We've lowered our standards!

Talk to the hand.....

"Romo was signed an undrafted free agent. He ranks fourth in passing yards, third in touchdown passes and fourth in starts among undrafted players since 1970, according to Elias Sports Bureau research.

Though Romo had an impressive regular-season career, his 248 passing touchdowns and 34,183 passing yards rank second and fourth, respectively, among players never to play in a conference championship game, according to Elias."

If they put him in, they might as well close the doors on the place. It'll be worthless

Bring in bums like Mathew Stafford

Kenny Anderson put up great numbers in a time were DB could mug receivers and he can't get a sniff

Boomer Esiason was league MVP, went to a SB, has 237 in a real era of football and he's never been a semi finalist

But usher in Romo because of sentimental value?

Please

Put him in the hall of above average and let's call it a day!

And biggest recipient is JG.

He'll get in after years as a broadcaster.

He was sabotaged by this franchise . That will get clearer and clearer as time passes.

Do you support Eli getting in?

His playoff run in 2011 is as good as it gets, Combine that with overall good numbers and the fact he's a Manning, it will be hard to keep him out.

Perhaps you should start hoping he begins sucking as a commentator, etc., because consideration for entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is not regulated solely to a career as a player.

It bothers you terribly that he's even in the discussion. Unfortunate soul you are. Something of so little consequence to your own life has such impact.

Just to be clear, what do you consider to be 'a real era of football?' Sammy Baugh, Sid Luckman, Otto Graham never won a Lombardi. Unitas career pass completion is around 54% with an interception percent of 4.8. Would they be considered in 'a real era of football?'

What about Jan Stenerud?
Sonny Jurgensen, 32,000+ yards, 255TDs, 82.xx% passer rating?

Looks like it depends on your criteria as to who should get in and who should not.

How about just go through the list of everybody in the Hall and tell us who shouldn't be in, okay?

We'll be waiting.

Guys I think should be in:
Ken Anderson - A stud in that era.
Roger Craig - should've been in years ago.

Guy who shouldn't have made it on first ballot:
Troy Aikman - Top 5 playoff QB, not enough longevity to justify a first ballot selection
Warren Moon - Put him in the hall of numbers

Guy who should've rode the Earl Campbell, Gale Sayers, great but short run of dominance to first ballot status:
Michael Irvin - People don't realize how great he was.

If he gets in, Romo deserves to get in.
