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

[Gameover]

If he gets in, Romo deserves to get in.

2 blings and superior totals will trump a guy who never played on the second to last Sunday of a NFL season

 

[garyo1954]

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.

Short list. Doesn't take in to account all the thousands of players who came before them. Guess you could put it all on a historical marker on some backwoods rode. Maybe a short walk path, or a fishing pier.

Don't forget the other 300 in the Hall. Give us you thoughts on those guys and please, please, please......

DEFINE 'A REAL ERA OF FOOTBALL'

Unfortunately he won't be a definite no. We've gotten soft. But it'll be like a condemned person on death row... it'll be at least 10 years before his candidacy gains any serious traction.

 

[rags747]

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.

His QB rating over the years sucks, It's been awhile but I would be surprised if he ever beat out Romo in QB rating. Yes he has those two SB's, but much of that was due to his defense and a lot of fairy dust luck. Manning name will definitely help, but he was never the QB that Romo was.

Unfortunately I don’t see Romo getting in the HOF, not enough post season success to get in. He has nice stats, but most HOF QB at least reach a Championship game or Super Bowl.

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.

Video doesn't work

 

[lostar2009]

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.

Besides giving up on that route PC was the only solid WR we had.

In your opinion, which of these two quarterbacks should be enshrined in the Hall first? Eli Manning? Or Jim Plunkett?

Plunkett was before my time.

I've looked into Ken Anderson a lot, that's the reason I have a strong opinion on him.

Plunkett's numbers are pretty pedestrian for any era. And I do know Plunkett won 2 SB.

Eli > Plunkett

 

[StillluvRomo]

He has no case


He should never be a finalist

You guys know the you can't cure crazy right.

Giving up on that route is enough

 

[big dog cowboy]

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

The HOF has already passed that point by letting in some who didn't deserve to be while excluding some former players (including many former Cowboys) that do.

He was nothing before Romo, and nothing after he left.

So player #1 should get in because you looked in to him, but player #2 is out because he.....

Player Games/Strt W - L Comp Att % Yrds TDS TD% Int Int% Y/A Y/G QBR
Ken Anderson 192 172 91-81-0 2654 4475 59.3 32838 197 4.4 160 3.6 7.3 171.0 81.9
Tony Romo 156 127 78-49-0 2829 4335 65.3 34183 248 5.7 117 2.7 7.9 219.1 97.1


....played fewer gamed,
....completed more passes in less attempts
.....for more yards
....more TDs with a better TD %
....threw fewer interceptions with a lower interception percentage
....had a better yard per attempt
....had more yards per game
....and a better QB rating.

But player #1 is a Hall of Famer while player #2 is just another former NFL player?

I ignore it

Anderson was more dominant in his era than Romo was in his. I would put in Anderson over Aikman and Irvin.

 

[diefree666]

I ignore it

you are such a small person in so many ways.

Now this is the definition of stupid
