Oooh a writer for NFL.com - EXPERT! Argument won!
Romo accomplished many things during a solid career, but he lacks one critical component
Tony Romo is the third-best quarterback in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. That doesn't mean he's the nextCowboys quarterback who is heading to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. True, he does have more passing yards and touchdown passes than Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach. What he doesn't have is a Super Bowl ring, aSuper Bowl appearance or even the opportunity to say he played in an NFC Championship Game.

Romo did have a pretty impressive career, one that saw Dallas win 61.4 percent of the games he started. Unfortunately for him, the bar for Hall of Fame quarterbacks has been set pretty high. If you don't have a Lombardi Trophy or a bunch of significant league records, you simply aren't making the cut.

Seems like only the Romo jock sniffers think he's all-world. The rest of the world thought he was just good.

I believe so, too.

What is often not discussed is why Romo didn't come back when he could have. His injury was healed weeks prior to even be able to practice again and then he still wasn't suited up. Prior to kickoff, a sideline reporter (I believe Pam Oliver) mentioned she had just talked to Romo and asked why he wasn't dressed and Romo told her he was healed but the doctors just can't be sure he would be able to withstand a hit.

With Dak playing so well, I don't think the team wanted to risk injury to Romo unless absolutely necessary even though Romo was raring to go. Of course, a couple weeks earlier Romo had stated on the sidelines that it was hard in 2015 watching the team lose and not being able to do anything about it, but it was harder to watch the team win and not be needed, so of course he wanted to play. I think Dallas protected Romo from himself the remainder of the year and that's why he didn't get extended playing time in weeks 16 & 17, just a swan song drive.

In the offseason, Romo weighed his options and decided to retire, at a pretty early age considering how long these other QBs are now playing. I believe if he had full confidence he could remain healthy, he would be the starting QB for the Texans right now.
I would like to read anything pertaining to Oliver's questioning if it exists. My continuing impression is both Jones and Garrett maintained a verbal understanding with Romo that Prescott would remain as the starter.

The second assumption does not have merit in my opinion. If the Jones and Garrett did not wish Romo to possibly sustain injury, logically neither would have allowed Romo to play against the Eagles in the season's final game under any circumstances. In the sport of football and especially at the professional level, every player, including completely healthy players, are at risk of sustaining some degree of injury every snap. Romo was allowed to play a swan song drive despite this fact.

Speak for yourself.
I’m sure there are some slobbering over Dak that are All In until the bitter end with him.

The more I think about it he’s actually a good fit with our Football Idiot and Puppet.
God help us. Lol

Right . Romo was cleared to play. Some are just using his injuries as an excuse because surely they know Romo was the better QB when healthy.

More sure he'd get injured and miss more games is more realistic to assume. That hurt the team every game he missed. It's nice not have the same worries, if Prescott will get up from a hit.

Again the Putz says Romo is a jag and then posts opinion pieces sayig he is just short of being a Hall of Famer.

And he thinks thats a win for his stupid Jag argument.
you're a little boy was so awesome, that no one wanted to pick him up when Dallas released him. JAG

You should always leave the best man in until he can’t go.

We finally had a great backup who could win in his absence.
