Romo was great. I loved rooting for him and I wish his career had turned out different. I am not pro Dak vs Romo or the other way around. Romo is the better QB, and he retired having earned over 100 million dollars, still being able to have a great life physically and has become a top tier color analyst. What more could he want?
But he is not a hall of famer, it's actually a joke to think he should be. He was never elite even in his heyday.
He was a good qb in an era where you needed to be great. He had so many memorable losses.
The 2007 team was the best since the 90's era and they lost to the Giants at home as heavy favorites. They had spanked the Giants twice that year. 13-3 was not a joke that year.
2008 8-4 going into December they end up 9-7 miss the playoffs
2009 another really good team. They beat the Saints on Thursday night, beat Vick and the Eagles in the Wild card get spanked by the Vikes.
2010- Romo collarbone plays 6 games, they are 1-5 in those game
2011- 7-4 heading to December end up 8-8. Another loss in a winner goes to playoffs game
2012- 5-6 heading to December end up 8-8. Another loss in the final game where winner goes to playoffs
2013- 7-5 heading to December end up 8-8. Romo got injured against the Skins in a miracle win. Didnt play the last game of season
2014- 2nd best team of Romo era, beat the Lions at home in the wildcard.. Got very lucky but they won. Lose to Packers, the non-catch Dez game.
2015- Romo plays 4 games, team goes 4-12
2016- Romo injured in preseason.
Love the player but he was not a hall of famer. Please fanbase get out of this Stockholm syndrome love for Romo. It's not healthy.
Yes Troy did not have better numbers, he was not making miraculous plays on spin moves. Romo had a flair no doubt but he also make a ton of boneheaded mistakes at the wrong time. It was unfortunate, I defended him to all the Cowboy haters I really did. He was my QB. He was way more talented than Dak.
The one's who keep bad mouthing Troy, imagine how good he would be in this era that Romo played in. His coaches would have insisted on the shotgun which Troy hated.
Troy did have a very terrible end to this career, he was so immobile at the end it became sad to watch. He also went from havnga a great all time coach to having the worst coach in the league. Switzer was the worst hire that Jerry could have made. He also had to deal with the horrific drafting from Jerry from 94-2000.
Troy was clutch, could make all the throws. Yes he didnt have the numbers, his best season was 92 when he threw 23 TD's. The team was based around running the ball, they always played with a FB. Nowdays maybe 2 teams play with a fullback.
Go back and watch his postseason games from 1992 through 1995,10-1 post season record. He played a majority role in winning those games, it wasn't all just E. Smith.
