News: DMN: Gosselin: Why Tony Romo isn't even close to Hall of Fame-worthy

[Super_Kazuya]

The 2007 and 2014 teams I believe they would.

lol... 2014? I'd like to see someone explain with a straight face how someone could have done any better than Romo did in those playoffs. He didn't throw a single interception, and his 125 passer rating was a whopping 25 points higher than the second place QB. But I guess old Troy, he would have grabbed some tobacco, dropped back behind his HoF line, faked a handoff to his HoF back, and threw 10 TDs to his HoF WR, and run out on the field and sacked Rodgers five times just for good measure. Because, duh... count the ringz dood.

All this will go away after Tony wins the SB MVP and giving us ring #6 this season.

He shouldn't even be in the conversation at this point. Thankfully, he has a couple more years to make his case.

"Dart Board" off-season article.

Was that a request ?

Some of the numbers he uses about how many HoFers were on some of those teams kind of shows the sillyness of the rings value for the honor. If those teams had so many great HOF players, then it really diminishes the impressiveness of any individual who wins a championship on those teams. It illustrates that championships are a team accomplishment, not an individual one.

Right on time buddy. Exactly what I was thinking of.

Romo's HoF worthiness is directly proportional to the Cowboys worthiness to hoist a Lombardi trophy over their head with Romo at the helm. So how close is he? Two years ago he was much closer.

why, any of those guys play defense too?

Kudos to you sir. Bravo just bravo.

He's a HOFer if you take in to account where he came from.

That will never happen for a Cowboys qb

So he'd probably have to make a super bowl to be considered

 

[Rockport]

Agree with the conclusion that he is not hall of fame worthy. Not a fan of the writer but i think it's farfetched to think Romo is even close to that accomplishment.

Well that just shows how much you know.

You've been a Romo hater from the beginning and thus have zero credibility. Go hide and quit embarrassing yourself.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Simple, he needs two superbowl rings to get in with some struggle. Three to get in easily. Four to get in first ballet.

0 gets him nada

 

[8FOR!3]

This article doesn't actually answer any questions. Yes the general consensus is he isn't a hall of famer unless he wins a super bowl, but that's been known for years

PS: I love this topic. Some many viewpoints.

There's just something for everyone.....Gos haters, Romo love/haters, and history buffs.

Isn't that special?!

Gosselin = Village Idiot

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Well, I read right here on this board that he's better than Troy Aikman, so he should get in to the HOF

Romo stats are better regular season than Aikman. Aikman, we know is way better postseason. No one said he was better than Aikman in the postseason.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Its not so much about Super Bowls with Romo. They will let you in if you dont have them if you were good enough. What will keep Romo from being considered is that he only has two playoff wins. He needs a few deep playoff runs to realistically get into the convo.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Well I don't know if i'd say he's not "close". His stats are up there with his peers. He doesn't have the hardware. So if that's what is considered not "close" then fair enough. But he even gets 1 ring he should be a 1st ballot HOF'er. He has everything else in his arsenal.

I think with his age and being realistic.......he may very well need a ring. If he has 3 or 4 years of playing at a high NFL level......i'm not sure if that's enough time for him to just string a win or two in those years in the playoffs. Maybe if he can get to two NFC Championship games in that span.
