He speaks truth.

This is another thread to attack Romo. It's phrased like a compliment "HOF", but it's just a chance to rip Romo and anyone who thinks differently from the mob.

Nice try, but all Prescott supporters agendas have been exposed on previous threads.
No, it's an article from a question about Romo, answered by Holley. The easiest thing to do if you dislike Prescott is to stop bringing him up. Inserting Prescott into a thread about Romo is just that. Wake up. No one mentioned Prescott including the OP. Save your agenda nonsense, it's quite hypocritical.

Romo was a great QB during the regular season and isn't HOF caliber. There, that was easy. It's a true statement that you fellas can't stomach and think it's automatically tied to every Prescott fan. A really ignorant assumption.

There's only 2 QB's from this era who are no brainers, PManning and Brady. Brees should get in on numbers alone, and prolly Rodgers.

Those are truly the only 4 I give it to. If Eli actually gets in, that would truly debase the HOF. He was quite simply not great. He's a lot like Plunkett in that regard, but people were smarter about the NFL voting back then.
You know well that those who vote will factor in SB wins and missing one game his entire career. I agree Eli is not a HOF, there are a handful of players who got in that in my opinion were not worthy.

Imagine someone seeing a post like this from the OP, or from America’s Clownboy or the Quincy Carter troll, and thinking that it was a genuine attempt to have a discussion :laugh: Imagine how stupid you’d have to be to think that.
Every day they post some stupid tweet to rile up one side or the other on the Dak debate. They usually even put the eating popcorn smiley right at the bottom! It’s so obvious, but I still usually get a chuckle from their brazenness.

Ignorance is not knowing the posters.

The OP went back and forth on another thread saying how Romo wasn't even a good player. But now he presents a thread about Romo being a possible HOFer. You can't be this stupid.

Just to let you know, Romo is not a HOFer. I have no agenda, but it is simple to see those that do.

He doesn’t have a ring and he wasn’t a top 5 QB of his era. Manning, Brady, Brees, Rodgers and Big Ben should all be placed higher. You can argue he’s better than Ben maybe(I wouldn’t) but not the others. He doesn’t even have a MVP, he was never once considered “the best” at any point of his career.

There are hundreds of quality players that have their career limited due to circumstances out of their control. That’s part of the game and shouldn’t be an argument for the hall of fame.

If Garrett was that bad, Romo should’ve been in Jerry’s ear and not going to sporting events with Jason.

Romo was absolutely a top 5 QB of his era. It is not even debatable. His QB rating, comebacks, highest rated 4th qtr QB ever. The choke artist crap is just a bunch of propaganda. It is not supported by any type of fact based argument. It is ESPN ratings driven garbage that even some Cowboys fans believe because they focus on his errors while ignoring the same errors in the other top QB's

Now, I don't think he gets in mainly because of the brevity of his career and the injury loss of 2015 and 2016 and lack of postseason wins but he was a top 5 of his era!

ROH? Yes
HOF? Probably not

3-4 more healthy years and with the roster we were building? Maybe a different story. But it didn't happen.

Holley is right that Romo is a spectacular athlete. He and all the basketball players on the team that he played with saw that both on the court as well as the field.

Romo was considered a better QB than Eli for the majority of his career. If Eli gets in, Romo should, even though he won't.

Romo was not just slightly better than Eli, he was MUCH better. Until late in his career though, Eli usually had a better defense.

But HOF looks at the rings. And although Eli was one and done in the playoffs more than almost any other QB, the only two playoffs his team wasn't one and done, they ran the table.

Plus, because he played for so long, although he had a terrible QB rating and led the league in picks a few times, his cumulative numbers are high.
His odds of getting in, imo, are higher than Tony's...fair or not.

Brees and Rodgers are no-brainer 1st ballot HOFers. But I do agree if there's a level ABOVE that, Brady and Peyton Manning would be on that exclusive list.

Big Ben will definitely get in. Eli will get in after a few years of waiting.

If we're lowering the bar to accommodate a mediocre QB, than Danny White is much more deserving of being in the HOF than Romo.

Do i think he's deserving? Maybe. If he does get in it'll probably be when he's 70+ since they'll be looking for rings.

Just so sad how bad Garrett was and how Jerry ruined an entire decade and a half with that loser. Careers like Romo were destroyed. Romo could have been a Drew Brees success story.

We all knew Romo was doing what he did in spite of Garrett. This is more confirmation.

It's Romo's fault. If he hadn't been so good, Garrett would have been exposed a long time ago.

There were always excuses for Garrett not getting more out of this team until last year when there wasn't much that could reasonably be used for one.

Where Eli threw clutch throws against the Pats, Romo would've chocked and thrown the pick six. Stop with this narrative that Romo is better than Eli. I'll take the QB that gets his team to the big dance. Brad Johnson is more of a winner than Romo.

I don’t think it’s debatable that Manning, Brady, Rodgers and Brees had better careers so at best you can put him 5th but you’re going to have a hard time arguing him over Big Ben.

Ben has the stats, a much better winning percentage and two rings. I think Romo is probably 6th...I’d absolutely argue he had a better career than Eli or Rivers.

You use whatever word you want and I will use mine. It cant be stressed enough how bad Garrett was. It should never be forgotten.

Romo's career is basically known as a choke artist that couldn't win in big games that wont make the HOF. He had little to no playoff success at all when he could have had a Drew Brees type HOF career and championship.

I have no doubt Romo didn't picture that kind of a career for himself when he was dreaming of being an NFL QB.
I'm not suggesting Garrett wasn't a bad coach, or that he didn't hinder Romo's career, but Romo did have a strong career. "Destroyed" suggests "ruined", "demolished", "stripped of value", and none of that applies to Romo. NFL history is filled with players who, for whatever reason, never accomplished what they would have liked or what they had the potential to accomplish. But that doesn't mean they didn't have a strong, noteworthy career. I bet Dollars to Donuts Romo would say he is proud of his career.

Eli Manning has impressive numbers too. Also has 2 rings and beat Brady TWICE.

You mean Danny White who threw almost as many interceptions (132) as TD passes (155), and had more interceptions in the playoffs (16) than TDs (15)?

Granted, it was a different era, but Danny White was not near as good for his time as Romo was for his. I could provide the numbers to show you that, but something tells me you wouldn't believe it so I'm not going to waste my time.
