Keep in mind, that we've seen even hall of famers like Dan Fouts, Dan Marino and Warren Moon that didn't get Super Bowl rings which two of the aforementioned didn't even
get to a SB appearance, but yet remembered and celebrated as among the very best QB's that have ever played the game.
In my opinion, I do not think some people try to think like someone sitting on the Pro Football Hall of Fame Board of Selectors. Individuals evaluate players, 'know' what should get players inducted but do not consider how selectors view the same players.
I am not a mind reader and get things wrong but I do pay attention to mindsets. Case in point. Terrell Owens was a bonafide first-ballot Hall of Famer. I stated for years on this site Owens would not get elected in his first-year of eligibility and likely not in his second-year also. It is notable that my opinion was strongly opposed. Actual events did play out as I expected because the Selectors are people like anyone else, who believe they have a 'sacred duty' to enshrine the best individuals who played, coached or contributed to the game. And selectors make the induction process difficult if they consider a player is a total idiot (e.g. Owens).
I say all this in an effort to get readers to think like selectors for once. The following is an exercise. Every inducted player is given a short career bio. The thread discussion has introduced the names of Romo, Fouts, Marino and Moon. Here are the PFHOF bios for the latter three:

Please keep in mind these biographies
were written in the context of the particular NFL era for each player.
Here is a voluntary exercise. Try-and-think like a Selector and write a short PFHOF bio for Antonio Ramiro Romo. Do it for
his era knowing all the selectors will not compare it with the bios for the other three quarterbacks for that reason.
In conclusion, I will repeat what I have stated in the past. I believe Romo has a shot at the PFHOF but as a contributer and not as a player. Plus, it will take a great deal of effort and ingenuity on his part to accomplish the feat but I know he is capable.
